beer.db Scripts

Note: The recommended and easiest way to build yourself your own database copies (e.g. beer.db, franken.db, etc.) is using Datafiles. See the openbeer/datafile repo for details.

Intro

Build scripts for beer.db, etc.

Usage

Use rake -T to list all available tasks. Example:

$ rake -T

Will print something like:

rake about     # print versions of gems
rake build     # build beer.db from scratch (default)
rake stats     # print stats for beer.db tables/records

To get started use the following folder structure and clone some datasets with git. Example:

yorobot/
  beer.db                #  -> this repo here -- git clone
openmundi/               #  -> create folder (e.g. mkdir openmundi)
  world.db               #  -> git clone (see github.com/openmundi)
  austria.db             #  -> git clone (see github.com/openmundi)
openbeer/                #  -> create folder
  at-austria             #  -> git clone
  de-deutschland         #     ..

Start your build (e.g. rake build) inside the yorobot/beer.db folder.

Note: You can see (and change) all folder references in the settings.rb script.

More Examples

Build the database for breweries, brewpubs and beers in Austria (from scratch):

rake build DATA=at

Update the database for breweries, brewpubs and beers in Austria:

And so on and so forth.
