This is a simple implementation to create a personalized schedule for the semester based on the courses you are taking. This project was the perfect excuse to use newfound knowledge of frontend web design. If anyone wants to extend the features, feel free to do so!

The deanacad office provides the schedule in PDF format, so there are some intermediate conversions required to feed the data to the applet. This process is now automated using the tabula software which requires java to be installed, and a python3 script to extract the data.

Note: It turns out that the deanacad office uses different formats every semester which complicates the parsing procedure. As of now, it is being maintained by tweaking the tabula commands and manually cleaning the data, however, the way to go forward is to request a standard CSV format from the deanacad directly. An example of the parsing is given below, in case anyone is forced to manually perform this process.

The table is hardcoded to have 6 columns (Mon-Sat) and 9 rows (1hr slots within 8am - 6pm) and the data must be fed in CSV format, with within-cell-entries seperated by "|". Any empty cells in the 9x6 data matrix must be explicitly inserted using "," wherever required. For example, suppose Ai, Bi, Ci are some courses in this timetable:

This is the kind of data that must finally be written in the index.html file:

A1,,A1,A1,,B3
C1,C1,,,C1,B3
A2,A2,,A2|A5|C1,A2,B3
,,A4,,A4,A4
A5,A5,,,,
,,,,,
,A3,,A3,A3,
,A3,,A3,A3,
,A3|B3,,A3|B3,A3,
B1|B3,B1|B2,,B1|B2,B2,B3

Note: There must always be 9x6 cells in the final data provided to index.html.

On a linux machine

0. Install and python3 (with the and libraries.)
1. cd into repo
2. run chmod +x ./makett
3. Download the newest timetable to ./tt.pdf
4. run ./makett

The script downloads the libraries if necessary and updates index.html.

Edit index-template.html for any changes. All changes to index.html are lost on timetable update. Make sure that the {{ datadiv }} line is unaltered somewhere within the body div as the script parses this to create the timetable.
