Indices and tables
==================

* :ref:`genindex`
* :ref:`search`

Factories for randomised AFL data sets, selling candy to your unit tests.

The shape and content of the data is based on what's returned by the R package
`fitzRoy <https://github.com/jimmyday12/fitzRoy>`_, which gets most of its data from the sites
`Footywire <https://www.footywire.com/>`_ and `AFLTables <https://afltables.com/afl/afl_index.html>`_.
The column names are converted to :code:`snake_case` for convenience.

Features
--------

- Randomised values for the following AFL data sets:

  - :code:`fixtures`: Minimal AFL match data from the season schedule.
  - :code:`match_results`: Full match data, including results.
  - :code:`betting_odds`: Minimal match data with pre-game odds for the final result.
  - :code:`players`: Full set of player stats for each match.

- Some limitations on the randomness of the data to make data sets realistic:

  - Team names are all real, using the naming conventions of AFLTables.
  - Venues are all real, using the naming conventions of AFLTables.
  - Seasons can range from 1897 to the current year (inclusive).
  - Matches take place from 15th March to 30th September (inclusive),
    starting no earlier than 12pm and no later than 8pm.
  - There's one round per week, and it lasts from Wednesday to Tuesday (inclusive).
  - Each team only plays once per round.
  - Only one Brisbane team (Brisbane Lions or Bisbane Bears) plays per round
    to avoid conflicts. This permits more flexibility for users to use
    whatever naming conventions they see fit.

  pip3 install candystore
