Rolodex generates a formatted and organized JSON rolodex or address book from raw address data.
Rolodex conviently comes with example data (data.in) and file of the expected
output: (json.out).
Quickstart: $ python3 back_end_rolodex.py data.in
####Formats
Rolodex currently supports three formats of address input:
- Lastname, Firstname, (703)-742-0996, Blue, 10013
- Firstname Lastname, Red, 11237, 703 955 0373
- Firstname, Lastname, 10013, 646 111 0101, Green
####Using Rolodex
######From Bash:
Create a file of addresses putting one address per line. Addresses can be formatted
in any of the supported formats. Then, simply cd into the rolodex directory and type
$ python3 back_end_rolodex.py data.in, or whatever your input file is called.
Your json.out file will automatically be created for you in the current directory.
Optionally, you can also build this program by running chmod +x back_end_rolodex.py
then simply run your program like this $ ./back_end_rolodex.py data.in
From REPL
Import the rolodex function from this file: from back_end_rolodex import rolodex
then simply call the rolodex function with your data file, like this:
rolodex('./data.in')
####Testing Rolodex
Rolodex is fully tested. To run the tests, run $ python3 back_end_rolodex_tests.py
from the terminal.
