P1: Movie Trailer Website

This project's objective was to design and build the server-side code necessary to dynamically generate a movie trailer website—where users can view your favorite movies and watch their trailers—from a Python data structure. The list of movies—each including a title, poster, and trailer—is parsed from a text file allowing the static web page to be updated easily after editing the movie list.

Requirements

• Python is installed.
• This can be verified by running the following command in the terminal:

$ python -V

• Git is installed. (Optional, if you wish to clone the project repository.)

Usage

• Run the following commands to build the fresh_tomatoes.html file.
• The html page will be loaded automatically in your default browser.

$ git clone https://github.com/davidsimowitz/fullstack-nanodegree-project-1.git

• Above command is optional.
• Alternatively you may download the files into the directory.

$ cd fullstack-nanodegree-project-1

• Verify the following files are present before continuing:
  • media.py
  • fresh_tomatoes.py
  • entertainment_center.py
  • movie_details.txt

$ python entertainment_center.py

• fresh_tomatoes.html will load in your default browser once the above command is ran.

Customized Movies (optional)

Input is accepted from a file named movie_details.txt that resides in the project directory. This file can be modified to display the movies of your choosing. The format for movie_details.txt is as follows:

1. The first line must contain the number of movies.
2. Then for each movie, you must enter three pieces of information, each on their own line:
   • first its title
   • followed next by a url to its movie poster image
   • followed lastly by a link to its trailer on YouTube
3. A movie_details.txt file has been included.
