Add state parks to data model. #23

Closed shperl closed 8 years ago

shperl commented 8 years ago

Find an API or static data set that has a common attribute with our current model.
If it is via a rest API, create a python wrapper for accessing the data (app/static/other/locations.py for reference).
Update the UML diagrams to reflect the new attributes.
Incorporate the new data elements into the existing models.py file.
Document the expanded data set in the Wiki and be sure to include the data source.

Hey, @adamalloy. I assigned this ticket to you as your were working on it this evening. Please review the locations.py and stats.py files that can be found in the app/static/other folder on the repo for a standard template for pulling down data via an API. It would be nice to create consistency between the two (creating a class for the pull, then creating methods for accessing functions).

Not quite ready to close this issue because I still need to implement parks around cities. For state parks, all these issue have been addressed: parks.py file, updated api, updated models, updated uml, updated wiki.

@adamalloy -- I noticed you added "park_name" to the state class. I don't think this will work well for us given the structure of our database. my recommendation would be to add a new class for "parks" that has foreign keys for any of the trulia classes that has a relation. This means we would need to create a separate model in the models.py file.
