uw-room-hours is a tool for viewing the weekly course schedules of building rooms at the University of Washington - Seattle.

It's especially helpful for figuring out when and how long a room is open to use for studying or working on homework.

The uw-room-hours tool can be accessed at https://joshiabhishek.github.io/uw-room-hours/ (Updated for Autumn 2019)

The following are the instructions for how to retrieve and add the properly formatted UW Seattle Time Schedule data needed for this tool:

1. Download and install the uw-scrapers repository code, following its installation steps

2. Run the following functions in the uw-scrapers index.js file to scrape the UW Time Schedule for the given quarter, export the data, parse the exported files, and create a JSON file mapping buildings to rooms to days of the week to courses

// Expose the extractCourseInfo function for use in the Puppeteer page instance
await mainPage.exposeFunction("extractCourseInfo", TimeScheduleScraper.extractCourseInfo);

// Scrape and export UW Time Schedule information by major for a quarter
await TimeScheduleScraper.exportCoursesByMajorAndQuarter(mainPage, "SPR2019", function(file_name, data) {
    ExportUtils.exportJSONArray(DATA_EXPORT_BASE_URL + "SPR2019/", file_name, "data", data);
});

// Parse and export the UW Time Schedule data by grouping courses in to arrays mapped from building, room, and day of the week 
TimeScheduleDataParser.exportTimeScheduleDataMappedToLocationFromFolder(DATA_EXPORT_BASE_URL + "SPR2019/", function (data) {
    ExportUtils.exportJSONObject(DATA_EXPORT_BASE_URL, "TSMAP.json", data);
});

3. Copy the JSON file's contents and set it equal to the "tsmap" variable in the uw-room-hours external javascript file

var tsmap = {...}
