This repository consist of a Python script and a React application that work together to solve the problem of not being able to sort or search through the problems on Project Euler easily.
Genrelly, this is a result of my own frustration from some of the problems mentioned above.
First thing first, clone the repository:
$ git clone https://github.com/lubeskih/project-euler-watcher.git
The Python script (located under scripts/scrape/) is a scraper that extracts the problems (the problems include the archive page, as well as the most recent ones) from the Project Euler archive page and dumps them into a JSON file.
To start the script, I would recommend first installing Virtualenv, and then:
virtualenv venv --python=python3
pip install -r requirements.txt --user
and to run it:
python scrape.py
The JSON file will be located in the same directory, and the dump should look like this:
[
{stamp: "Sat, Feb 29, 2020 at 10:45 PM", records: 600 }, # METADATA
[{ id: 1, title: "example title" }, {...}], # ARCHIVE
[{ id: 5, title: "another example title" }, {...}] # RECENT PROBLEMS
]
In order for this to work locally, move the JSON file into the public directory.
In the root directory, to install the required packages - run:
yarn
To start the application (defaults to port 3000), run:
yarn start
Or to build it:
yarn build
NOTE: After building, you may want to use a HTTP server to serve the builded application, for example (inside the build directory):
python3 -m http.server
Feel free to open a PR if you feel like you can improve something or you know a better solution. This was written in a quick and dirty way in one weekend, so don't expect the code to shine. :)
