"Item Catalog" is a an web application for udacitys Item Catalog project, part of the Full Stack Web Developer Nanodegree Program

It shows a catalog of lights in a Lighting System, sorted by different categories like:

• Compact flourescent lamps
• Halogen lamps
• Neon lamps

etc and shows the description and price for each. You can log in via google and add, edit and delete items in different categories once logged in.

For this project, you'll use a virtual machine (VM) to run a web server and a web app that uses it. The VM is a Linux system that runs on top of your own machine. You can share files easily between your computer and the VM.

We're using the Vagrant software to configure and manage the VM. Here are the tools you'll need to install to get it running:

If you don't already have Git installed, download Git from git-scm.com. Install the version for your operating system.

On Windows, Git will provide you with a Unix-style terminal and shell (Git Bash). (On Mac or Linux systems you can use the regular terminal program.)

You will need Git to install the configuration for the VM.

VirtualBox is the software that actually runs the VM. You can download it from virtualbox.org, here. Install the platform package for your operating system. You do not need the extension pack or the SDK. You do not need to launch VirtualBox after installing it.

Note: Currently (October 2017), the version of VirtualBox you should install is 5.1. >Newer versions are not yet compatible with Vagrant.

Ubuntu 14.04 Note: If you are running Ubuntu 14.04, install VirtualBox using the >Ubuntu Software Center, not the virtualbox.org web site. Due to a reported bug, >installing VirtualBox from the site may uninstall other software you need.

Vagrant is the software that configures the VM and lets you share files between your host computer and the VM's filesystem. You can download it from vagrantup.com. Install the version for your operating system.

Windows Note: The Installer may ask you to grant network permissions to Vagrant or make a firewall exception. Be sure to allow this.

Windows: Use the Git Bash program (installed with Git) to get a Unix-style terminal.

Other systems: Use your favorite terminal program.

Log into your personal Github account, and fork the fullstack-nanodegree-vm so that you have a personal repo you can push to for backup. Later, you'll be able to use this repo for submitting your projects for review as well.

From the terminal, run the following command (be sure to replace <username> with your GitHub username): git clone http://github.com/<username>/fullstack-nanodegree-vm fullstack

This will give you a directory named fullstack that is a clone of your remote fullstack-nanodegree-vm repository.

Using the terminal, change directory using the command cd fullstack/vagrant, then type vagrant up to launch your virtual machine.

Once it is up and running, type vagrant ssh. This will log your terminal into the virtual machine, and you'll get a Linux shell prompt. When you want to log out, type exit at the shell prompt. To turn the virtual machine off (without deleting anything), type vagrant halt. If you do this, you'll need to run vagrant up again before you can log into it.

Now that you have Vagrant up and running type vagrant ssh to log into your virtual machine (VM). Change directory to the /vagrant directory by typing cd /vagrant. This will take you to the shared folder between your virtual machine and host machine.

Be sure to change to the /vagrant directory by typing cd /vagrant before creating new files or pasting files that you want to be shared between your host machine and the VM.

Download this application and add it to the shared vagrant folder. Run python views.py and install all required packages that might not be installed on your system. If all of them are already installed, move on to the next step which is to go to Google developer console, sign in with your account, and create a new project by the name of Item Catalog. Make the redirect uri and main uri to http://localhost:5000 and the go the credentials tab and on the top right it says download json. Download the json file and replace it with the file on my project and rename it to client_secrets.json

Then copy the client id on the same page and replace it with the client id on thelogin.html file.

Run python views.py and go and login with your google account once. You can then log out if you want. Exit the program.

Then run the lotsOfCategories and lotsOfItems files by running python lotsOfCategories.py and python lotsOfItems.py.

Now rerun python views.py, go to the browser and type in http://localhost:5000 and you are ready to go!
