IWS Feature Requests

Toy project using Flask/SqlAlchemy/Knockout to implement feature requests. Written as part of the application process for a mid-level software engineering position, and also kind of for fun..

Unfortunately it's quite rare I complete a personal project from start to finish, so we'll see how this ends up. Some background info for those that find this interesting and want to have a similar setup:

• Free Continuous Deployment (Simon Willison)

Running Development Locally

1. Clone the repository: git clone git@github.com:adwylie/iws-feature-requests.git.
2. Create a virtual environment (python 3.6) in the project directory and activate it:

   cd iws-feature-requests
   virtualenv --python=python3 env
   source env/bin/activate
   

3. Install required libraries: pip install -r requirements.txt.
4. Set up environment variables:

    export SECRET_KEY='verysecret'
    export RECAPTCHA_PUBLIC_KEY='<public key>'
    export RECAPTCHA_PRIVATE_KEY='<private key>'
   

5. Set up the sqlite database: python manage.py setup.
6. Load data fixtures (optional): python manage.py loaddata.
7. Run the development server: python manage.py runserver.
8. Lastly, navigate to http://127.0.0.1:5000/ in the web browser of your choice.

Tests can also be run using the command python manage.py test.
