hpdf-tasks

Description

This repository contains tasks that I have worked on during HPDF Week 1

How to use

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/ashwani99/hpdf-tasks

2. Create a virtual environment and activate it. We will be setting Python 3 as default in the virtual environment. Although this step is not mandatory but it is recommended so that the development environment is isolated.

virtualenv venv --python=`which python3`

source venv/bin/activate

3. Install dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Run the application within the devserver provided by flask

cd hpdf-tasks/

python run.py

5. All set. Fire up any web browser and go to http://127.0.0.1:5000/ to see the application live!

Tasks

These tasks consists of implementation of multiple endpoints which serve different needs. The following tasks are are accomplished.

• Add an endpoint at / that displays Hello World along with your first name (and slack username)
• Add and endpoint at /authors which fetches a list of authors and count of their posts using the given JSON data available via URLs https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users and https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts
• Add an endpoint at /setcookie which sets a cookie with values name=<your-first-name> and age=<your-age if not set already.
• Add an endpoint at /getcookies which displays the values of the cookie that has been set with /setcookie endpoint.
• Deny request to /robots.txt endpoint with 403 (Forbidden) status code.
• Add an endpoint at /html displaying some placeholder HTML text. Lorem Ipsum was used here.
• Display a form containing a textbox at /input endpoint.
• Upon submitting the form at /input, send the data via a POST request to /input endpoint. This /input endpoint should display the text data received via the request instead of the form. Also log the received data to STDOUT.
