NAME

Sport::Analytics::NHL::DB - Interface to MongoDB to store NHL reports.

SYNOPSYS

Interface to MongoDB in order to store the semi-structured NHL reports into it. Provides the database handle and most of the bulky database operations. Does not subclass MongoDB - the handle is stored in the class's object.

    use Sport::Analytics::NHL::DB;
    my $db = Sport::Analytics::NHL::DB->new();
    my $team_id = $db->resolve_team_db('San Jose Sharks'); # $team_id becomes 'SJS'.

METHODS

new
 Constructor. Sets the database connection. Controlled by global variables:
  * $MONGO_HOST - host of the mongodb server (def. 127.0.0.1)
  * $MONGO_PORT - port of the mongodb server (def. 27017)
  * $MONGO_DB   - name of the mongo database (def 'hockey')
  Also, the database can be specified via $ENV{HOCKEYDB_DBNAME}

 The database handle is stored in the dbh field of the object which is a blessed hashref.
resolve_team_db
 Resolves a team by a given possible identifier to a normalized 3-letter identifier. The target identifiers are the keys to the %TEAMS hash in Sport::Analytics::NHL::Config.pm (q.v.)
 Argument: the team identifier/name (e.g. 'Rangers')
 Returns: the system identifier (e.g. NYR)
insert_schedule
 Inserts the collected schedule (see Sport::Analytics::NHL::Scraper), initializing the indexes for the schedule collection if necessary.
 Collections: schedule
 Arguments: the list of scheduled games with their defined fields
 Returns: the number of the inserted games
get_existing_game_ids
 Gets the list of ids of games already in the database
 Collections: games
 Arguments: optional - hashref containing the start_season and stop_season of the query
 Returns: the arrayref of the ids of the existing games
