Backend rest server with Flask

I will be developing and updating a fully functional backend server with complete test coverage and environment deployment support using docker and ansible.

Please note: This is work in progress series of commits. I will be updating table of content containing commit ids so that you can switch to any update/version of the project using the commit id.

To clone the repo use :

git clone https://github.com/huzaifarasheedmir/flask-backend.git

If you have already cloned the branch and want to fetch latest updates use

git fetch
git rebase -i origin/master

Please note: There are different techniques of getting latest code you can use rebase, merge and pull study about them on git.

for switching to any commit copy the commit id from below table and use

git checkout <commit id>

or undo all local changes and go to a commit

git reset --hard <commit id>

1. Install python package management tool pip

  sudo apt-get install python-pip

2. If you want to work in virtual env follow this or skip to step 3

  sudo easy_install virtualenv
  virtualenv flaskserver
  cd flaskserver
  source bin/activate

3. Go to project directory and install require packages using

  sudo pip install --upgrade -r requirements.txt

4. Run the server

  python manage.py runserver

6. Run tests

• without coverage

  python manage.py test

• with coverage

  python manage.py test --coverage
