Through a partnership with ESC & CUIT, ADI has been given access to snapshots of the number of people connected to WiFi for each floor in some library buildings. We are building an API to provide this data (project).

This project is to watch for the file uploads from CUIT then parse the data before inserting it to the database.

Usage of ./wireless_data_processor:
  -all=false: load all dump file in the directory
  -dir=".": directory to watch for new files
  -watch=true: continue to watch for new files in the directory

If deploying for the first time, the all flag should be used to load every single file in the directory. Otherwise only the watch command will be needed. This will watch for new files and add them as they appear.

There are several straightforward unit tests for parsing data.

Travis-CI also allows us to run integration tests against Postgres. There are 3 example dump files in /test_data that are used to test the actual executable.

Travis creates the database using schema.sql. Then the executable is run using the option to load all files in the directory.
