Dynamic Job Board parsing

[StanBoyet]

We've been talking about having a job board app to make our offer appealing.
Could a first step of it be done in the same way we scrap the info for our Rubyshops list?

This is the related code:

  def ruby_shops
    csv_data = open('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/brug-be/rubyshops/master/bnlrubyshops.csv').read
    hash = CSV.new(csv_data, headers: true, header_converters: :symbol)
    hash.to_a(&:to_hash).sort_by { |hsh| hsh[:city] }
  end

And them we access it in the view.

Could we do the same with this markdown?
The steps I (naively) see are:

1. Get the doc (easy, open('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/brug-be/jobboard/master/README.md').read works fine to get the page content
2. Get only the content under the ## Open positions
3. Regex to parse all the lines
4. For each line, open() the given link
5. Parse in markdown the content of what we got
6. Use it the same way we do the rubyshops

I'm lacking some expertise on regex, but I'm willing to get the process started and provide the structure if someone is interested.

I have a working (in a IRB session) proof of concept to have an array of all the open positions, PR will ensue:

jobboard_repo_url = 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/brug-be/jobboard/master/'
jobboard_md = open(jobboard_repo_url + 'README.md').read
opening_string_match = "## Open positions"
ending_string_match = "##"
positions_dump = jobboard_md[/#{opening_string_match}(.*?)#{ending_string_match}/m, 1]
matching_positions = positions_dump.scan(/\[([^\[\]]+)\]\(([^)]+)\)/)

positions = []
matching_positions.each do |position_name, position_url|
  begin
    position_md = open(jobboard_repo_url + position_url).read
    positions << [position_name, position_url, position_md]
  rescue
    puts "Issue parsing position '#{position_name}'"
  end
end

You get the positions array which follows this form:

[position_name, position_url, position_md]

Where position_name is for example Lead Web Developer at Prospect.io, 2016 November 22, and position_md is the whole content of the linked markdown file hosted on the repo.

EDIT:
I've added position_url which starts by the date to be able to order them however we want to display them.
