This picks out randomized groups based on a list of entries and the number of entries per group.
It requires a CSV file containing entries, they can be multiple colums, however entries are comma separated.
#example test.csv
entry
john
jane
jack
#or test.csv
entry1,entry2
john,john
jack,jack
jane
It will return a CSV file titled results.csv, where each row is a group of randomized, deduped entries and each column is an entry.
#example results.csv
entry_1,entry_2
john,jack
jane
This repo runs in Ruby, version 2.3.0. All dependencies are located in the Gemfile. In the command line, run:
$ bundle install
Unit Tests for determining groups (picker.rb) are written using RSpec. To run all tests:
$ bundle exec rspec
To test the user interface, create a test CSV file:
$ ruby gen_test_file.rb
To optionally check for dedupe logic:
$ ruby gen_test_file.rb dup
Then run app.rb in your terminal:
$ ruby app.rb
filename containing names to group?
#enter name of source file
how many entries per group?
#enter number of entries
Run app.rb in terminal:
$ ruby app.rb
filename containing names to group?
#enter name of source CSV file
how many entries per group?
#enter number of entries
The app will print results to the screen and ask if you would like to regenerate those results (y/n).
