« Ruby Football Week 2021, June 11th to June 17th - 7 Days of Ruby (Sports) Gems

Day 3 - sportdb-readers Gem - Read the European Football Championship (“Euro”) 2020 Match Schedule in the Football.TXT Format Into euro.db - A Single-File SQLite Database

Written by geraldb Gerald Bauer

What’s the sportdb-readers gem?

The sportdb-readers gem let’s you read in football match schedules and results, teams, groups, and more in the (structured) Football.TXT format into any SQL database of your choice (e.g. SQLite, PostgreSQL, etc.)

Euro 2020 - 24 National Teams, 6 Groups - June 11th to July 11th 2021

Let’s get started with building up an SQL database from scratch for the European Football Championship (“Euro”) 2020 and let’s read in the match schedule in the Football.TXT format.

Step 0 - Auto-Migrate the SQL Database. Let’s build a single-file SQLite database, that is, euro.db, from scratch / zero:

require 'sportdb/readers'

SportDb.connect!( adapter:  'sqlite3',
                  database: './euro.db' )

Note: Using connect! with a bang (!) will “auto-magically” create - or is that auto-migrate - all database tables if the database is empty, that is, schemaless and without tables.

Let’s add the Euro 2020 event:

SportDb::MatchReader.parse( <<TXT )
= Euro 2021

Yes, all teams, groups, match days, match fixtures and results, and more are now in your (SQL) database of choice, that is, in euro.db - a single-file SQLite database.

The proof of the pudding. Let’s query the (SQL) database using the ActiveRecord models:

include SportDb::Models

euro  = Event.find_by( key: 'euro.2021' )
euro.teams.count  #=> 24
euro.groups.count #=> 6
matches = euro.matches
matches.count     #=> 36

Resulting in a team count of 24 in 6 groups and 36 matches in the group phase for the Euro 2020 event.

Let’s print the kick off opening match using a little pretty print helper:

def print_match( m )
   print  "(#{m.pos}) "
   print  "#{m.date.strftime( '%a, %d %b')}  "
   print  '%22s' % "#{m.team1.name} (#{m.team1.code})"

   if m.score1 && m.score2
     print  "  #{m.score1}-#{m.score2} (#{m.score1i}-#{m.score2i})  "
   else
     print  "  vs  "
   end

   print  '%-22s' % "#{m.team2.name} (#{m.team2.code})"
   print  ' / '
   print  m.group.name
   print  ' - '
   print  m.round.name
   print "\n"
end

And

print_match( matches[0] )

resulting in:

(1) Fri, 11 Jun            Turkey (TUR)  0-3 (0-0)  Italy (ITA)            / Group A - Matchday 1

Let’s get all matches for Austria (AUT):

aut = Team.find_by( key: 'aut' )
matches = aut.matches
matches.count   #=> 3

print_match( matches[0] )
print_match( matches[1] )
print_match( matches[2] )

resulting in:

(13) Sun, 13 Jun           Austria (AUT)  vs  North Macedonia (MKD)  / Group C - Matchday 1
(16) Thu, 17 Jun       Netherlands (NED)  vs  Austria (AUT)          / Group C - Matchday 2
(18) Mon, 21 Jun           Ukraine (UKR)  vs  Austria (AUT)          / Group C - Matchday 3

And to wrap up let’s get all matches for today (that is, Sun, 13 June, 2021):

matches = Match.where( date: '2021-06-13 ')
matches.count  #=> 3

print_match( matches[0] )
print_match( matches[1] )
print_match( matches[2] )

resulting in:

(13) Sun, 13 Jun           Austria (AUT)  vs  North Macedonia (MKD)  / Group C - Matchday 1
(14) Sun, 13 Jun       Netherlands (NED)  vs  Ukraine (UKR)          / Group C - Matchday 1
(19) Sun, 13 Jun           England (ENG)  vs  Croatia (CRO)          / Group D - Matchday 1

What’s your predication for today? What’s your favorite national team? Enjoy the beautiful game.
