Update 2021 - Work-in-progess - getting converted over to the new home here at Planet Ruby.

For now the current plan is to use this collection and merge in the /books-old repo and convert all book datafiles to YAML with directories by publication year (e.g. /2019, /2020, /2021 etc.).

On filenames:

  • do NOT use : in filenames e.g. Beginning Ruby: From Novice to Professional.json will break checkouts on Windows; use - instead or such
  • do NOT use ? in filenames e.g. What do I test?.json will break checkouts on Windows; remove for now - why? why not?

On book data:

  • use 0000/ directory for now for books with missing/empty publication year - why? why not?
  • change url to home_url - why? url is predefined in collections and is the url of the collection page itself!!!!!

old build script:

  • how to get last update back (without git) - possible?
require "erb"
require 'json'

`rm -rf /tmp/ruby-books`
`git clone https://github.com/Florent2/ruby-books /tmp/ruby-books`

books = []
Dir.glob('/tmp/ruby-books/books/*.json') do |book_file|
  books << JSON.parse(File.read book_file)
  Dir.chdir "/tmp/ruby-books"
  books.last["updated_on"] = `git log -1 --format=%ci "#{book_file}"`.split(" ").first
end

Dir.chdir "/Users/Florent/code/books-ui/"

books.sort_by! { |book| book["year"].to_i }.reverse!

authors    = books.map { |book| book["authors"] }.flatten.sort.uniq
categories = books.map { |book| book["categories"] }.flatten.sort_by(&:downcase).uniq
editors    = books.map { |book| book["editor"] }.sort_by(&:downcase).uniq

renderer = ERB.new File.read("index.html.erb")
File.write "index.html", renderer.result
