======================

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/regardscitoyens/the-law-factory-parser.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/regardscitoyens/the-law-factory-parser) [![Coverage Status](https://coveralls.io/repos/github/regardscitoyens/the-law-factory-parser/badge.svg?branch=master)](https://coveralls.io/github/regardscitoyens/the-law-factory-parser?branch=master)

Data generator for [the-law-factory project](https://github.com/RegardsCitoyens/the-law-factory) (http://www.LaFabriqueDeLaLoi.fr)

Code used to generate the API available at: http://www.LaFabriqueDeLaLoi.fr/api/

## Install the dependencies ##

You should set up a dedicated virtualenv with Python 3.5+:

```bash
virtualenv -p $(which python3) venv
source venv/bin/activate
```

Using Pypy can seriously boost performance. You can easily install it and create a virtualenv with it for instance by [installing Pyenv](https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv-installer#pyenv-installer):

```bash
pyenv install pypy3.5-6.0.0
pyenv virtualenv pypy3.5-6.0.0 lafabrique
pyenv activate lafabrique
```

Then with your choice of virtualenv activated, install the dependencies:

```bash
sudo apt install libxml2-dev libxslt-dev # necessary for lxml
pip install --upgrade setuptools pip # not necessary but always a good idea
pip install -e .
pip install -Ur requirements.txt # to get the latest version of those dependencies
```

## Generate data for one bill ##

- search for the [bill's procedure page on Senat.fr](http://www.senat.fr/dossiers-legislatifs/index-general-projets-propositions-de-lois.html) or [Assemblee-nationale.fr](http://www.assemblee-nationale.fr/15/documents/index-dossier.asp).

- execute *tlfp-parse* script using the procedure page:

`tlfp-parse <url>`

The data is generated in the "*data*" directory. You can change this default behavior by inputting a data path as extra argument: `tlfp-parse <url> <dataDir>`.

For example, to generate data about the "*Enseignement supérieur et recherche*" bill:

tlfp-parse http://www.senat.fr/dossier-legislatif/pjl12-614.html
    ls data/pjl12-614/

You can also use directly Senate's ids such as: `tlfp-parse pjl12-614`

Development options `--debug`, `--enable-cache` and `--only-promulgated` can also be used.

## Generate data for many bills

To generate all bills from 2008, you can pipe a list of ids or urls into `tlfp-parse-many`.

A convenient way to do so is to use [senapy](https://github.com/regardscitoyens/senapy):

senapy-cli doslegs_urls --min-year=2008 | tlfp-parse-many data/

See `senapy-cli doslegs_urls` help for more options. You can also use [anpy](https://github.com/regardscitoyens/anpy) with `anpy-cli doslegs_urls`.

## Serve bills locally for [The Law Factory website](https://github.com/regardscitoyens/the-law-factory)

First, you need to build data for all desired bills.

Then generate the files required by the frontend:

python tlfp/generate_dossiers_csv.py data/       # generates home.json and dossiers_promulgues.csv used by the searchbar
    python tlfp/tools/assemble_procedures.py data/   # generates dossiers_n.json files used by the Navettes viz

Finally, serve the data directory however you like. For instance, you can serve it on a specific port with a simple http server like nodeJs', in which case, you'll need to enable cors: just install *http-server* with npm and run it in data directory on a given port (8002 in the example):

npm install -g http-server
    cd data & http-server -p 8002 --cors

## Generate git version for a bill

*Work In Progress*

You can export all your bills as git repositories: `python tlfp/tools/make_git_repos.py git_export`

## Other things you can do

- parse a sénat dosleg: `senapy-cli parse pjl15-610`
 - parse an AN dosleg: `anpy-cli parse http://www.assemblee-nationale.fr/13/dossiers/deuxieme_collectif_2009.asp`
 - parse all the sénat doslegs: `senapy-cli doslegs_urls | senapy-cli parse_many senat_doslegs/`
 - parse all the AN doslegs `anpy-cli doslegs_urls | anpy-cli parse_many an_doslegs/`
 - generate a graph of the steps: `python tlfp/tools/steps_as_dot.py data/ | dot -Tsvg > steps.svg`

## Tests

To run the tests, you can follow the `.travis.yml` file.

git clone https://github.com/regardscitoyens/the-law-factory-parser-test-cases.git
    python tests/test_regressions.py the-law-factory-parser-test-cases

If you modify something, best is to regenerate the test-cases with the `--regen` flag:

python tests/test_regressions.py the-law-factory-parser-test-cases --regen

To make the tests faster, you can also use the `--enable-cache` flag.
To clear the cache, you can remove the directory returned by `lawfactory_where_is_my_cache`.
To update the meta-infos (ex: a new political group was added), you need to clear the test-cases directory of all the root `.json` files.

You can also watch for parts of the code not yet covered by the tests:

- First, install `coverage`: `pip install coverage`
   - Then, you can execute `bash coverage.sh`
   - Then, the report is in `htmlcov/index.html`
