Steps to update

We use Angular CLI, so make sure to download it beforehand.

1. Create a new component by running in terminal ng generate component Fall2024. Check if it is now imported at app.module.ts.
2. Edit src/app-routing.module.ts.
3. Edit src/app/archive/archive.component.ts. Remember to upload the verbose_course_ratings.csv to Drive.
4. Copy over the output_data folder from the scraping repo to the folder of the component and rename it to just data.
5. Copy over the departments folder from the scraping repo into a new folder under assets/data/ named after the next term.
6. Copy over the ???.component.ts from another recent component and make necessary changes. You need to handpick the featured ~5 Super Gems, Hidden Gems, and Great Courses from course_ratings_analysis.ipynb in the scraping repo (look for the cells that present to you a candidate list of each). Also edit the my.harvard search term.
7. Copy over the ???.component.html from another recent component and make necessary changes. Remember to change the number of classes near the top, and the link at the bottom. Simply count the number of files in the myharvard folder in the scraping repo, or count the number of files in the QGuides, which can be more accurate (for the past year, and this is the number reported at the website).
8. Run ng serve to test it out.
9. ng deploy
