In Development

Calorie find

Is a RESTFUL API that finds calorie counts of food. This is primarly a learning project to get me use of use django with docker.

How to develop on

docker-compose -up

To run other manage commands on a running django backend. This requires the backend to actually be running.

docker-compose exec backend ./manage.py shell_plus
docker-compose exec backend ./manage.py migrate

Requirements

• Docker compose for development
• Django restframework for API
• Django swagger for docs (swagger couldn't determine the POST schema)
• Ansible and vagrant for deployment simulation (Moved to fabric as ansible was overkill)
• circle.yml for test and pushing to
• Read ASCII data file into database for calorie data
• 1 API endpoint to send list of data
• If multiple matches or mispelling send multiple options in JSON

Extra credit

• Make a basic frontend (Decided not to)
• Figure out way to do lazy matching
• UPC support (required to make it a "real" project)

Tech used

• django
• postgresql
