Checksp

This is a test project to give Go a try. Concepts to explore: http calls, handling JSON responeses and csv files

The theme is around a series of housekeeping task for the Species Home Pages. Is cli tool, there are three subcommans:

• json shows constructs a test json object.
• articles checks on the cms database which articles have maps and if the maps have corresponding data in the API (species can change names).
• list filename.csv that does the later check on a csv file.

list filname.csv

I read species from a csv file, chcek if we have data abot it on the API and if not save those records on csv file

json

In order to understand unmarshalling and constructing the structs, it was easier to reverse engenieer the structs and marshall them first. That is testJSON.go, with the struct correctly shape it was a breeze to handle the JSON response.

The JSON I'm trying to prcess looks something like:

[
  {
    "_id": "Zaretis crawfordhilli",
    "count": 2,
    "data": {
      "Quebrada Escondida": [
        {
          "_id": "5fcfb3133f2e48e107ac546f",
          "herbivoreSpecies": "Zaretis crawfordhilli",
          "collectionDate": "11/12/2001",
          "herbivoreFamily": "Nymphalidae",
          "latitude": "10.89928",
          "locality": "Quebrada Escondida",
          "longitude": "-85.27486",
          "voucher": "01-SRNP-23274"
        }
      ],
      "Mabea": [
        {
          "_id": "5fcfb3f83f2e48e107b4dc6c",
          "herbivoreSpecies": "Zaretis crawfordhilli",
          "collectionDate": "04/05/2018",
          "herbivoreFamily": "Nymphalidae",
          "latitude": "10.96084",
          "locality": "Mabea",
          "longitude": "-85.32205",
          "voucher": "18-SRNP-26343"
        }
      ],
    }
  }
]

articles

This option requires a .env file with the following structutre:

USER=db_user
PASSWORD=db_passwords
