Users should have some way to edit keyword aliases

[mattcheah]

Currently, if a job description lists PHP7 and a user's category is php, the description parser will not pick this up as a keyword. Same for similar things like ruby/rails vs rails, or ecmascript6 vs es6.

In order to make the parser more efficient at finding the most relevant keywords/categories, we need to have an option to edit categories to have an array of aliases that will also trigger a snippet's categories when the application parses the job description.

What this will most likely involve:

• Creating a new database table of categories names, and an array of aliases.
• Creating a new component and CRUD routes in DatabaseService for editing the category database.
• Rearranging the view a little bit to include forms to make category editing happen.
• Updating ParseDescriptionService to check each word against a category's alias array.

If you'd like to help out, leave a comment and I'd be more than happy to walk you through or share some opinions. Thanks!

hi @vasunep0306, thank you for helping! The instructions are in the top comment. This is a pretty big project. You'll have to create a new table in MongoDB, create a new JSON file for categories for those who prefer to use JSON, create a new view component to display and edit categories and their aliases, create CRUD routes on the databaseService, and configure the job description parser to check against category names AND aliases.
