Manual data update in code_schools.yaml

[kylemh]

Improvement

Why is this improvement being suggested?

I noticed that Galvanize is missing some locations, there may be other code schools with new locations or other out-of-date details.

What would your improvement do?

By updating code_schools.yaml with up-to-date information, we can ensure that our audience is receiving correct information.

I'm a first time contributor and I'd like to grab this. What's the protocol for that?

@lennonc

Firstly, thank you for wanting to pick up this task!

You can start by examining the current code_schools.yaml file under config/ at the top level of the repository (located here).

Instructions for relevant data is commented within the first few lines of code_schools.yaml

Instructions

1. In your command line interface (CLI), go to the file path in which you'd like to put this repository (Desktop for example).
2. Use git clone https://github.com/OperationCode/operationcode_backend.git in your CLI.
3. Use git checkout -b update-code-schools-data to create and checkout a new branch.
4. Go into the repository, go into config/, and open code_schools.yaml with your favorite text editor.
5. You should comb the file's current data, check out the school's website, and verify the data through any means necessary (Google Maps, Google Search, and/or calling the Code School).
6. If there is a discrepancy (out-of-date information on code_schools.yaml), make an edit locally.
7. Once you've finished combing the entire file and made all of your fixes, use the following commands on your repository:
   • git add *
   • git commit -m "resolve #36"
   • git push -u origin update-code-schools-data
8. Come back to GitHub and create a Pull Request 💃

Some standards to remember:

• For address, please use abbreviated cardinal directions (SW, NE, W, etc.)
• For address, please use unabbreviated road types (road, not Rd. & street, not St.)

@kylemh - I'm thinking here we'd want to:

• create a new CodeSchool db table
• CRUD API endpoints for CodeSchool records
• rake task that creates a CodeSchool record for each entry in code_schools.yml
• wire up the existing :index endpoint to fetch CodeSchool db records
• test coverage for new endpoints
• update our API documentation

Si?

Highly recommend hitting these (#99 #106 and #107) before touching this issue, lest you double your work!

[ben-jervis-old]

Hi @kylemh, is this issue still available? I'm a first time contributor, and was hoping I could tackle this one for Hacktoberfest.

[kylemh]

@benjervis Please feel free! It's simple busy work. You'll just scour the websites currently in that yaml file, and make sure the info is up-to-date. I'd also appreciate you adding an email field to every school because that will help us with OperationCode/operationcode_frontend#364

Be wary @hpjaj that I'm asking for a model change!

[ben-jervis-old]

@kylemh, I'm all done and trying to create a PR, following your instructions in that comment from June, but I don't have permission to push to the remote. Should I have forked it instead?

[kylemh]

@benjervis looks like you figured it out. The answer is yes.

I'm very sorry for those incorrect instructions. Back when I made them this repo was pretty much organizers only, and as members of OC we have the ability to clone and make PRs from our own clones.
