Smart Investing App (backend)

This is the backend for Smart Investing, a web application that allows you to practice investing in the stock market.

Setup

To install the backend, you'll first want to set up a Python 3 virtual environment, and then run:

pip install -r requirements.txt

You'll also need to set up a PostgresQL database for your app to connect to. If you have Postgres installed, simply run:

createdb sm_backend

Next you have to run migrations and seeds with:

flask db upgrade && flask seed

Now to start the app, just run

python app.py

and you're ready to go! Visit http://localhost:5000/stocks/1 to test out one of the endpoints and see if it's working.
