Feature Request App

This is a project that I created as part of a coding challenge. The app allows a user to submit feature request and also shows a list of already submitted requests.

A "feature request" is a request for a new feature that will be added onto an existing piece of software. The fields are:

• Title
• Description
• Client: A selection list of clients ("Client A", "Client B", "Client C")
• Client Priority: A numbered priority according to the client (1...n). Client Priority numbers do not repeat for the given client, so if a priority is set on a new feature as "1", then all other feature requests for that client are reordered.
• Target Date
• Product Area: A selection list of product areas (use 'Policies', 'Billing', 'Claims', 'Reports')

Tech Stack

This project was built using the following technologies:

• Server Side Scripting: Python 3.5
• Server Framework: Flask
• ORM: Sql-Alchemy (MySQL)
• JavaScript: KnockoutJS
• Front-End: Bootstrap - The app is responsive and a11y-friendly.

Getting Started

The app is hosted live at Feature Request App Demo thanks to AWS Elastic Beanstalk and RDS, but if you want a local copy, continue reading.

These instructions will give you a local repository on your machine which you can then run and use. These steps assumes you have pip installed already.

git clone https://github.com/mariesta/FeatureRequestApp.git
pip install -r requirements.txt
python create_db.py
python application.py

Look for the line 'Running on [localhost url]'. If you navigate to this url, you should see this.

You can then add feature through this page:

This page also includes validation:

If all goes well, it populate the list page:

Have fun!
