cd badminton

Boot the server and enjoy it.

Tips

1. When a recreation centre would newly be built, you can just delete Recreation_Centres_Info.json in the repository root directory. That's it. Brand-new information should be reflected.

2. By modifying default_program variable in .env, you can switch this app to retrieve another activity program, i.e. "Volleyball". In order to do that, you should export default_program variable(or re-enter virtual environment) and re-run the server.

3. The parsed webpage info is cached in a file format in the data directory. We recommend to keep this directory unless you don't understand what you are doing.

Note

The app utilizes contents in the Toronto Recreation Center webpages. The app might need to be adjusted to reflect the future potential changes on the website.
