Plant Keys

Process I used to program keys

For the plant keys, I wrote a bash script which takes in the text file of a specifically formatted binomial plant key, extracts the parts and places them into a JSON file form (example). This JSON file is then used to extract the specific information as the user clicks through the answers to the binomial questions.

Using the Plant Keys

Add Plant Key into code

1. Turn pdftotext
2. Order each sentence onto separate lines (result must be separated at end by '. . . .', sentence must start with #[letter])
3. Use rin_group_extractor (/usr/local/bin) script , will need to have it here so $PATH calls it and can access it from anywhere in the terminal
   • Will need to type type the name of the file when asked (so need to call in the folder where file located so it can access)
4. Place into public/scripts/plant_keys
5. Place import statement into the plant route
6. Place into the keys object which is used to access the keys
7. Add new object to the /keys route with parameters {name,group} which are passed to the keys index page where people can choose which key they want
8. Will be called in the /plant/keys/:param route and accessed depending on which parameter given (:param) --> keys[:param]

Adding Value to the Model

• Have to add the value and type to the model
• Change the show.ejs file
• Change the new.ejs file
• Change edit.ejs file
• Add property to the create route and insert into the object created
