Competitive Programming Reference Builder Tool

About

mkcpr is a command line utility written in python that helps you to build your Competitive Programming Reference in PDF.

This command will generate a LaTex formatted file, which will be ready to be compiled into your new Competitive Programming Reference, using any online or local LaTex compiler of your preference.

Usage

• In your working directory run:

mkcpr [-c|-h]

Notes:

• The configuration file mkcpr-config.json should be in the same working directory. (Same path where you run mkcpr).
• -c flag creates a new configuration file mkcpr-config.json in the current directory.
• -h displays help.

Requirements

• python 3.5+
• Online or local LaTex compiler
• Folder containing your codes for programming competitions
• LaTex template (you can use the one provided in this repository Example/Template.tex)
• Configuration File mkcpr-config.json (described below)

Installation

1. Run:

  pip install mkcpr --user

2. Copy the LaTex template Template.tex located in the Example folder of this repository to your working directory.
3. In your working directory run mkcpr -c to create a new configuration file mkcpr-config.json.
4. Update mkcpr-config.json and Template.tex according to your needs. See the Configuration file options section for reference.
5. You are now ready to run mkcpr in your working directory.

Configuration File Options

{
  "code_folder": "/home/san/Projects/mkcpr/Example/CodeFolder", // Path to your actual code for reference
  "template_path": "/home/san/Projects/mkcpr/Example/Template.tex", // LaTex template path
  "output_file_path": "/home/san/Projects/mkcpr/Example/Output.tex", // path where you want the generated LaTex code to be
  "excluded": ["__pycache__", ".vscode"], // folders not to consider
  "columns": 2, // number of columns in your reference
  "template_placeholder": "CODE HERE", // text to replace in your template
  "sort_before": ["Data Structures"], // files or folders will appear first
  "sort_after": ["Extras"], // file or folders will appear at the end
}

Features

• One single command and your reference will be ready to compile

• Build your reference just from your competitive programming code folder.

Folder Structure	Table Of Contents
