Command Line Family Folders

Use the command line to create a family folder with the following folder and file structure.

/family
  /Saida
    /Aelia
      /Urbano
      /Petal
    /Hagir
      /Leandro
      /Helen

Next, create a file for each folder that represents that person’s family status. It’s better that you do this after creating the folder structure above to get more practice moving between folders.

/family
  /Saida
    child.txt
    /Aelia
      parent.txt
      /Urbano
        grandparent.txt
      /Petal
        grandparent.txt
    /Hagir
      parent.txt
      /Leandro
        grandparent.txt
      /Helen
        grandparent.txt

file_name = Path.basename(Regex.replace(~r/#.+/, __ENV__.file, ""), ".livemd")

save_name =
  case Path.basename(__DIR__) do
    "reading" -> "command_line_family_tree_reading"
    "exercises" -> "command_line_family_tree_exercise"
  end

progress_path = __DIR__ <> "/../progress.json"
existing_progress = File.read!(progress_path) |> Jason.decode!()

default = Map.get(existing_progress, save_name, false)

form =
  Kino.Control.form(
    [
      completed: input = Kino.Input.checkbox("Mark As Completed", default: default)
    ],
    report_changes: true
  )

Task.async(fn ->
  for %{data: %{completed: completed}} <- Kino.Control.stream(form) do
    File.write!(
      progress_path,
      Jason.encode!(Map.put(existing_progress, save_name, completed), pretty: true)
    )
  end
end)
