If you open it in Excel, Excel is "smart" enough to notice the first column
looks like numbers, so it discards all the "irrelevant" leading zeroes and
breaks everything. So, instead you must open a blank worksheet in Excel and
import data/books.csv.
- Select Origin "UTF-8"
- Select Delimited > Comma
- Mark the first column as Text (not number)
When you save, you can save as .csv to replace the original.
If the google books results don't give the right thumbnail, you can override it by committing the thumbnail to git in the ./data/thumbnails directory. The file path should be the isbn with no file extension.
The image must be 192 pixels tall. You may find this imagemagick resize command helpful:
isbn="1234567890"
convert ~/Downloads/$isbn.jpg -resize x192 data/thumbnails/$isbn
To pre-populate the csv & thumbnail, run npm run search -- <isbn>.
This will generate an html summary of the search results and open it.
Click on the tile that looks right. This copies some bash to your clipboard.
Paste that bash into a terminal in the project root directory to download the thumbnail and put the isbn/title/author at the end of the csv file.
When you're done a batch, re-run npm run generate-color-map to update
colors.json
If you edit src/box_labels.books.json, re-run npm run generate-qr-codes to
update the QR codes to match the new box list.
Use npm run ci-build to build everything except the Nearley grammar for
parsing search. That's committed to git so it's optional to build it.
