twlyparser
WARNING: this is work in progress and the file format is likely to change!
Prepare environment
The files with .ls extension is a LiveScript source file. LiveScript is a language which compiles to JavaScript.
For emacs user, please use https://github.com/YHisamatsu/livescript-mode for syntax highlight.
To install node.js and npm and LiveScript in Ubunutu
The node.js in Ubuntu is pretty old and does not work with LiveScript. Please use the one in chris ppa.
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/node.js
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install nodejs npm
and some dependency
$ sudo aptitude install libcups libimage-size-perl
install required node.js packages
$ npm i
## compile
$ npm run prepublish
If You Want to parse legislator information to JSON
# update submodule
$ git submodule init
$ git submodule update
data/twly$ git pull origin master
# generate JSON file, you can input which ad you want, below will use ad=8 for example
$ ./node_modules/.bin/lsc mly.ls ad 8 > data/mly-8.json
# In begining of ad=9, source didn't provide uid of legislator, we maintain it ourself for temporary usage.
$ ./node_modules/.bin/lsc mly_uid_by_ourself.ls > data/mly-9.json
Parsing from prepared text version of gazettes:
# get ly-gazette in the same directory with twlyparser
$ cd ..
$ git clone git://github.com/g0v/ly-gazette.git
# output/raw/4004.text -> output/raw/4004.md
$ cd twlyparser
$ ./node_modules/.bin/lsc ./format-log.ls --fromtext --gazette 4004 --dir ./output/raw
# generate all gazettes for 8th AD
$ ./node_modules/.bin/lsc ./format-log.ls --fromtext --ad 8 --dir ./output/raw
Parsing from official source
To retrieve source word files of a specific gazette that is already listed in 'data/index.json':
$ ./node_modules/.bin/lsc get-source.ls --gazette 4004
Convert to html with 'unoconv':
You'll need to install LibreOffice.
# make sure you do `git submodule init` and `git submodule update`
$ ./node_modules/.bin/lsc populate-sitting.ls --force --gazette 4004
To parse:
you may use the sample data to skip get-source
and unoconv conversion
twlyrawdata.tgz : download from http://dl.dropbox.com/u/30657009/ly/4004.tgz
$ mkdir source/
$ tar xzvf twlyrawdata.tgz -C source/
$ mkdir output
# convert doc files to html and update data/gazettes.json with metadata
$ ./node_modules/.bin/lsc populate-sitting.ls --dometa
# generate text file from source/
$ ./node_modules/.bin/lsc ./format-log.ls --text --gazette 4004 --dir ./output
# generate markdown file from text generated above
$ ./node_modules/.bin/lsc ./format-log.ls --fromtext --gazette 4004 --dir ./output
# generate all gazettes for 8th AD
$ ./node_modules/.bin/lsc ./format-log.ls --text --ad 8 --dir ./output
$ ./node_modules/.bin/lsc ./format-log.ls --fromtext --ad 8 --dir ./output
To generate json files from md
# generate specific gazette or AD
$ ./node_modules/.bin/lsc ./md2json.ls --gazette 4004 --dir ./output
$ ./node_modules/.bin/lsc ./md2json.ls --ad 8 --dir ./output
# generate all gazettes
$ ./node_modules/.bin/lsc ./md2json.ls --dir ../data
To generate json files of gazettes (only supports interpellation for now)
./node_modules/.bin/lsc format-log-resource-json.ls --dir ../data
generate CK csv from json
./node_modules/.bin/lsc ck_json2csv_mly.ls > mly.csv # ./data/mly-8.json
./node_modules/.bin/lsc ck_json2csv_gazette.ls > gazettes.csv # ./data/gazettes.json
./node_modules/.bin/lsc ck_json2csv_vote.ls --dir ../ly-gazette/raw # 3110.json 3111.json ...
To bootstrap or maintain the index file cache in data/:
mkdir -p source/meta
sh ./list 4004 > source/meta/4004.html
./node_modules/.bin/lsc ./parse-list.ls source/meta/*.html
./node_modules/.bin/lsc ./prepare-source.ls
data/index.json should now be populated.
Parse ly.gov.tw flow
There are some pages of gov.tw that we can query data. such as
- http://misq.ly.gov.tw/
- lis.ly.gov.tw - but you cannot use this link directly for some technical reasons
- go to http://npl.ly.gov.tw/do/www/homePage
- choose '立法院議事系統'
misq
There is a script to generate bill-diff. But we need the billId of a bill to bootstrap the script. The billId could be found in misq page. use 1010509070300300 as a billId for example
./node_modules/.bin/lsc parse-bill.ls 1010509070300300
could helps us to generate bill-diff. It might fiailed in first run, just execute it twice.
tts
We can parse motion data from lis.ly.gov.tw as well. First of all, install chrome extension from g0v/ly-crx, then
1. open lis.ly.gov.tw (in correct way)
1. query motion
1. You will see 'download all' in the page of query result, click the button
1. The browser will open a new page, save the whole content of opened page to /tmp/foo.html
./node_modules/.bin/lsc parse-tts.ls /tmp/foo.html > foo.json
Summary
./node_modules/.bin/lsc populate-summary.ls
parse.py
to parse ly-law-record and ly-statistics
init_statistics(to_path)
init_record(to_path)
update_record(json_path, output_path)
All path without specificate (e.g. to_path, output_path), don't put on file type
-
init_record('../ly-record/record')
-
update_record('../ly-record/record.json', '../ly-record/record')
All function will generate csv and json file
API
-
get-calendar-by-year(year, seen) => entries
Crawl calendar from
ly.gov.tw
Test
Arichtecture
Workflow
-
Run npm run shot:something.
Shot both cassettes and snapshots by using network
or shot only snapshots by using the cassettes
-
Run npm run test:something.
Shot fixtures for test
-
Calendar
$ npm run shot:calendar
If you don't has any cassettes under test/fixtures/cassettes/something/*.yml
,
it will shot both cassettes and snapshots by using network.
If you already had,
it will shot only snapshots by using the cassettes: test/fixtures/cassettes/something/*.yml
.
Run test
