This is an old project that I wrote at the end of last year. It was an assignment I found to learn Flask. I wrote it in a hurry so I decided to go back to it, refactor it, clean it up, and put it out on the interwebs. I hope you may find good use to this.

• User must be able to create an account and log in.
• When logged in, a user can see, edit and delete trips he entered.
• Implement at least three roles with different permission levels: a regular user would only be able to CRUD on their owned records, a user manager would be able to CRUD users, and an admin would be able to CRUD all records and users.
• When a trip is entered, it has Destination, StartDate, EndDate, Comment.
• When displayed, each entry also has day count to trip start (only for future trips).
• User can filter trips.
• Print travel plan for next month.
• REST API. Make it possible to perform all user actions via the API, including authentication (If a mobile application and you don’t know how to create your own backend you can use Firebase.com or similar services to create the API).
• All actions need to be done client side using AJAX, refreshing the page is not acceptable. (If a mobile app, disregard this) In any case you should be able to explain how a REST API works and demonstrate that by creating functional tests that use the REST Layer directly. Please be prepared to use REST clients like Postman, cURL, etc. for this purpose.
• Bonus: unit and e2e tests!
• You will not be marked on graphic design, however, do try to keep it as tidy as possible.

We have an api that supports 2 different types of objects. Users and Trips. Each of these follows standard conventions for REST:

• GET /users/: Returns all users
• POST /users/: Creates a new user
• PUT /users/: Updates all users
• DELETE /users/: Deletes list of all users
• GET /users/<id>: Returns user with ID
• PUT /users/<id>: Update single user
• DELETE /users/<id>: Delete the user

• GET /trips/: Returns all trips for the user in the authentication header. This method only works for authenticated users.
• POST /trips/: Creates a new trip.
• PUT /users/: Not supported
• DELETE /users/: Not supported
• GET /trips/<id>: Returns the trip with the given id. Makes sure the user has permissions to access this trip.
• PUT /trips/<id>: Update one trip.
• DELETE /trips/<id>: Delete one trip.

In addition we will support some additional endpoints

In order to run the tests, first install all the requirements, preferably inside a virtualenv.

pip install -r requirements.txt

then:

./manage.py tests

If you want to run javascript tests as well, run:

./manage all_tests

This will run all the tests.

First install all the requirements and then run:

python manage.py runserver

• Test aurelia code.
• Add date picker for dates
• Make resilient to page reload in the browser.
• Add edit/delete user through in the UI.
• Improve display of errors in the UI and add validations for the fields in the web.
• Editing a user by assigning an existing username returns a 201 which is incorrect. Should error out.
• Build UI for Admin user that allows viewing other user's trips.
• Improve the communication from server to client using model serializers or other mechanism.
• The full list of trips for the user was not behaving correctly, specially when adding/creating a new trip
• Deploy to a production server
