The chillzone from metakgp

IIT KGP CONNECTION FOR LOCAL DEV

As we open the website it shows that we need to be connected to IITKGP network . How to overcome this issue in local development

Automatic deployment of frontend

Currently we need to manually deploy frontend by creating a build in local and running pnpm run deploy. Automate this process such that the deployment is always from the most updated version of the master branch. Additionally create another github action which builds the frontend whenever there is a PR and allows merge only if the build was successful.

Tasks:

Automatically build and deploy from the master branch
Check whether the frontend build is successful for each PR.

[BUG] Doesn't fetch time table for breadths

Currently the backend is unable to fetch time table for breadths [confirmed for
2018-2019 AUTUMN HSS].

It shows misleading data to users of chillzone.

The solution could be creation of a standalone API (integration is also not discouraged) which can be called using REST API. It can also be used, then, with other projects under metaKGP.

Slot X4 is not hardcoded? BS and EVS not shown on Chillzone.

This slot is used each year for BS and EVS. It's classified as a LAB slot though, so maybe I didn't put this into the slots file which is why BS and EVS are not shown on Chillzone even though they are offered in both semesters.

Someone with access to the ERP timetable, please check this and add it to the problems file.

Separation between data and code

While reading through the codebase, I found a couple of instances where we have hardcoded data:

departments in main.go
rooms in rooms.go

We can migrate these to their respective JSON files and read the data into the program whenever necessary. This will also help us abstract lots of details into useful and extensible data structures.

Web App manifest

Add web app manifest so that there can be direct homescreen link through Firefox on android that acts as an app rather than browser.

enhance readme

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
can u add contribution.md and code of conduct.md in it?

Describe the solution you'd like
will add 2 files

Additional context
Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.

get a logo

Logos are nice. Help build visibility. If not possible by self, get someone else to help you out and provide them due credit for help. Collaboration is great.

Each subject should be a struct object instead of a []string

Currently, subjects are represented as []strings instead of a struct which has these keys.

Doing this will allow us to eliminate the change_map_structure step from the process. The conversion from []string to the struct can be done here, by iterating over each element of dep_val.Subjects and assigning it to the appropriate field of the struct. Validations can also be put in at this stage (eg: L-T-P must be #-#-#, Credits must be a valid integer, etc)

Few typo errors in README.md file.

FEW typo errors with full stops and "backtotop" button.

Workflow For Updating The Data

Is it possible to make a github actions workflow that updates the data each semester?

If not, we could make a workflow that, given the timetable link, generates all data and updates the frontend. This workflow could be triggered by a release or on push.

take place suggestions

optionally take suggestions of "where are you now?" and suggest places nearby that OR place/complex to prefer first

Transparency regarding what is meant by "empty" classrooms

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Users think that the classrooms listed as empty are meant to be available as "free to use". This is not always the case. Classrooms listed as empty only mean that those rooms are supposed to be free of any classes according to the timetable at ERP. Many a times professors change the classroom which is not reflected in ERP. Also suppose a classroom has no classes in a particular day, it is possible that the guards might decide to not unlock the room at all making it inaccessible (very often the case with Vikramshila classrooms).

Describe the solution you'd like
Show a single line info banner on top of the website with a text like "The empty classes listed below might not be accurate in real life." There will also be a learn more button which will redirect to a page which clearly explains the various situations described above.

Describe alternatives you've considered
People will understand - Does not work

Add Method to parse first year time table from PDF

Currently, we have to manually enter the first year time table.

The first year timetable is avaiable in the central timetable PDF; a PDF parsing method can be used to automate the process.

Progress Tracker

Changes to be made:

Move frontend to main repo (#27 )
Rewrite first year scraper (#38 )
Make the directory structure cleaner (#38 )
Host frontend somewhere
Rewrite README in the same format as gyft. (#41 )

Further frontend changes:

better directory structure
Update all packages and move from class components to functional components
Introduce typescript
add metatags
use CSS modules / styled components

Support for Python > 3.8

The PDF library used to read timetables, camelot-py, only supports Python versions 3.6, 3.7, and 3.8. Support for Python 3.10+ would be mandatory in a year since 3.8 will stop receiving security updates in Oct 2024.

Possible solutions:

Use an alternate PDF library
Fork and update the current library

Failed to compile ./src/Utilities.js Line 29: 'AbortController' is not defined

Describe the bug
Running npm start in frontend gave error:

 Failed to compile
./src/Utilities.js
  Line 29:  'AbortController' is not defined  no-undef

AbortController must be imported to solve this error.

Can I make a PR for this?

Screenshots

Chillzone unable to scrape data from ERP. ERP says "Some system error occurred"

ERP returns "Some system error occurred." on running main.go

Curl request doesn't seem to be the problem because subjects are returned when the following curl request is run with a valid JSESSIONID.

curl 'https://erp.iitkgp.ernet.in/Acad/timetable_track.jsp?action=second&dept=AE' \
    -H 'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:58.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/58.0' \

Show V1,V2,V3,V4 as V1-4; same with room numbers

I think the tables could benefit with such shortening scheme if there are tons of consecutive rooms available

Update readme to include chillzone-frontend

Currently deployed frontend appears to be at metakgp.github.io/chillzone-frontend. Deployment at chill.metakgp.org seems to have some rending issues. It will be good to include the currently deployed frontend link and meanwhile fix the issue with chill.metakgp.org
