Importing initial list of interests into Firebase #38

Closed Joel-Groves closed 4 years ago

Joel-Groves commented 4 years ago

Need an initial list of interests/hobbies for people to select from

Can be scraped from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_hobbies as a starting point, but others can be added too

This needs to be in a hierarchy in Firebase (Interests with children)

MufasaTheMusician commented 4 years ago

Given our use cases, we should take extra care to fill main categories Languages, Sport and Games

MufasaTheMusician commented 4 years ago

@ROXtiGerf, for the sake of time, just put them in as a flat collection ("Interests") with an id and name - we can change it later if we need.

I recommend taking the wikipedia List of Hobbies into a spreadsheet and finding a way to import CSV into Firebase.

Has there been any progress made on this?

ROXtiGerf commented 4 years ago

Sorry, I had an assignment to due tomorrow. For now, I just need to fill all interests in to ' Languages, Sport and Games' these three categories right? For example: Sport: 1, football 2, running Languages: 3, English Games: 4, boardgame

MufasaTheMusician commented 4 years ago

If you're going to put them in categories, make as many as you need using sub collections. If the JSON importing for sub collections is too tricky, importing them flat for now is OK and we'll work it out after alpha

MufasaTheMusician commented 4 years ago

How is this coming @ROXtiGerf? It's pretty critical to alpha, so if you're having trouble and can't get it I can do it

MufasaTheMusician commented 4 years ago

I've done a quick import of the list on Wikipedia just to have some data in there, still needs to be put in sub categories later on post alpha

ROXtiGerf commented 4 years ago

Thanks, I didn't know how to import from Wikipedia.
