Warbler (A Twitter Clone)

Requirements and Dependencies:

This app uses PostgreSQL and connects to a database named 'warbler'. Be sure to create the database in psql:

CREATE DATABASE warbler

Run the following commands in the terminal:

1. python3 -m venv venv to create a virtual environment
2. pip3 install -r requirements.txt to install the current dependencies in the necessary versions
3. source venv/bin/activate to activate the virtual environment
4. flask run to start the flask server and run the program

If you would like to start the program with prepopulated data to play around with, please run the following command in ipython:

1. %run seed.py run the seed file to prepopulate the database with users, posts, and profile info

Warbler

In a nutshell, the schema is many-to-many. One User may create many Messages, may follow many Users, may like many Messages by many Users.

An unlogged-in user is always redirected to the login/register page. A logged-in user is directed to their own homepage, where their stats (messages/follows/followers) are displayed, as well as the most recent messages posted by users they have followed.

A logged-in user may:

1. Follow another user
2. Like another user's message
3. View their followers
4. View who they are following
5. Create a new message
6. View the messages they have created
7. View the messages they have liked
8. Unlike a message
9. Unfollow a user
10. View another user's profile
11. View their own profile
12. Edit their own profile
13. Delete their account

A logged-in user may not:

1. Alter or delete messages, likes, follows, followers, or profiles of another user
2. Like their own messages
3. Follow themselves
