cs-361

• cli client for the cs-361 class
• implements microservices
• uses zeromq to communicate between the microservices

setup instructions

• python3 -m venv venv
• source venv/bin/activate (platform dependent)
• python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
• (optional) add your free meteo blue token to a .env file using the variable name "meteo_blue_token"
• (optional) add your free trial Windy token to a .env file using the variable name "nam_token"

useage instructions

• run each file in a terminal as a microservice
• defaults should work for all servers
• run all microservices with the ui last
• like:
  • terminal 1: python3 openmeteo_icon_query.py
  • terminal 2: python3 meteo_blue_query.py
  • terminal 3: get_quote.py
  • terminal 4: task_parser.py
  • terminal 5: ui.py

Communication Contract

Clear instructions for how to programmatically REQUEST data from the microservice you implemented. Include an example call

• To request data from this microservice:
  1. Confirm sure you have followed the install instructions above
  2. Run the microservice locally python3 task_parser.py in a terminal or import the server method from task_parser and run it
  3. Use the client method to commmunicate with the server (in a separate terminal)
     • start the python interpreter python3
     • create variable msg=<your team count>,<your task count>
     • from task_parser import client
     • client(send_message=msg)
  4. You can pass an optional parameter DEBUG=True to the microservice and/or the client if you need to troubleshoot issues
• Example: `client(send_message='4,12', DEBUG=True)

Clear instructions for how to programmatically RECEIVE data from the microservice you implemented

• assuming the above directions have been followed, the client method will display the response in that terminal
• the data returned will be a string / you can set the original client call equal to a variable in order to store this value
• Example: '2,11,7,4'
