Ruby Refresh II - kjdub01.github.io

This week I have been working more on polishing up my Ruby CLI project. Last week I managed to scrape the date of the games from where i was getting the individual game infomation. This didn’t seem like the right place to do it though because I ended up with an array full of the same dates. To fix this problem I picked a new place to scrape the date information from.

scraper.rb

class RugbyGames::Scraper
  BASE_URL = "http://www.espn.com"
  def self.scrape_espn
    @doc = Nokogiri::HTML(URI.open("http://www.espn.com/rugby/scoreboard?"))

    @doc.css("div.carousel-day").each do |date|
      games_date = RugbyGames::Dates.new
      games_date.text = date.css("span#sbpDate.date").text
      games_date.save
    end
   
    @doc.css("a.competitors").each do |contest|

      game = RugbyGames::Games.new

Scraping the date information from a new place gave em cleaner information than before as well.

I also added back in the game url to the addtional information you can get when you select a ruby game. Then I decided to scrape each teams win, tie, loss record as well and add it the the list view. I’ll probably go back in this week and do some regex work to either get rid of the begiining text “Form:” or replce it with “Record:” I think though that next week will be mostly spent reviewing my sinatra project and then deciding if it’s ready for deployment.

```scraper.rb

@doc.css(“a.competitors”).each do

contest

  game = RugbyGames::Games.new
  game.url = BASE_URL + contest.attr("href")
  game.time = contest.css("span.game-time").text
  game.home_team = contest.css("div.team.team-a.possession span.short-name").text
  game.home_score = contest.css("div.team.team-a.possession div.score.icon-font-after").text
  game.home_record = contest.css("div.team.team-a.possession span.record").text
  game.away_team = contest.css("div.team.team-b.possession span.short-name").text
  game.away_score = contest.css("div.team.team-b.possession div.score.icon-font-before").text
  game.away_record = contest.css("div.team.team-b.possession span.record").text
  game.save
end
	
	def list_games
date = RugbyGames::Dates.game_day.last
puts "#{date.text}"
	
	RugbyGames::Games.today.each.with_index(1) do |game, i|
  puts "#{i}. #{game.time} -- #{game.home_team} #{game.home_record} vs #{game.away_team} #{game.away_record}"
end   end
...

if input.to_i > 0 && input.to_i <= RugbyGames::Games.today.size
    selected_game = RugbyGames::Games.today[input.to_i - 1] 
    puts "#{selected_game.home_team}  #{selected_game.home_score}  #{selected_game.time}  #{selected_game.away_score}  #{selected_game.away_team}"
    puts "#{selected_game.url}"
