Write a script to turn DataClass into JSON

[bee-san]

Turn all the DataClass's in this file:
https://github.com/HashPals/Name-That-Hash/blob/main/name_that_hash/hashes.py

Into JSON with this format:
https://github.com/psypanda/hashID/blob/master/prototypes.json

Please submit a PR to the repo with your script :)

I've forgotten the full history of prototypes.json. At one point I played with the idea of moving the hash definitions completely out of Python and into JSON, but we never finished it: psypanda/hashID#30

I'm not really sure if that's better or not than having it in Python.

I've also forgotten how we generated it. I'm pretty sure it was just a python json.dump() of the data. You may need to do something like this to dump dataclasses:

This is purely for inter-language operability 😅 I'm working on a project in Go and can't use the DB here unless it's in a text-file based format (such as JSON)

I feel like this app is 2 parts:

1. The database
2. The CLI / API in Python

If we can export to JSON, it means other languages can use it and that means we can get more contributors.

I was playing around with the idea of having the database be a Git submodule, but I don't see why a JSON export wouldn't work for what I'm imagining :)

Hi bee, here you go:

import json

return_value = []

for prototype in prototypes:
    return_value.append(
        {
            "regex": str(prototype.regex.pattern),
            "modes": [asdict(i) for i in prototype.modes],
        }
    )

with open("result.txt", "w") as file:
    file.write(json.dumps(return_value, indent=4))

hashes.txt

add this to the end of the hashes.py and run it. Ill put the json attached

Thank you!!!
Why are all the dollar signs escaped?

[Jayy001]

What do you mean by this? I can't see it

[bee-san]

Open the file

Ah wait that's the regex itself nvm

[Jayy001]

Ahh no worries 😄
