More Info

The goal of this project is to take data entered manually by hand and data entered automatically by form submission, and to combine the data through automated form submission so that the merged data forms a common schema for future analysis.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

This is a Node.js application.

Before installing, download and install Node.js.

Installing

Clone the repository

$ git clone https://github.com/jdtzmn/mfcdm
$ cd mfcdm

Install dependencies

$ npm install

Create input folder

$ mkdir input

Usage

Converters

Create a converter.js file in the input folder (any name will work)

const Mfcdm = require('../dist/mfcdm')
const mfcdm = new Mfcdm()

const converter = async (sheetName, sheetRow) => {
  /* code here */
}

mfcdm.setConverter('converter name', converter)
mfcdm.start() // starts the mfcdm cli

Analyzers

Create a analyzer.js file in the input folder (any name will work)

const Mfcdm = require('../dist/mfcdm')
const mfcdm = new Mfcdm()

const analyzer = async (name, sheet) => {
  /* code here */

  return {
    'Statistic Label': 'value'
  }
}

mfcdm.setAnalyzer('analyzer name', analyzer)
mfcdm.start() // starts the mfcdm cli
