WebApp in WebApp folder Commands to set up the WebApp (all to be run in WebApp directory):

pip install virtualenv
virtualenv venv
. venv/bin/activate
git clone https://github.com/bwebster4/UPRLevelSecurity.git
git checkout develop


pip install -r requirements.txt
export FLASK_APP=application
export FLASK_DEBUG=true
pip install -e .
python
cd application
from application.models import db
db.create_all()

// if you want to add something to the database, like a test alert:
from application.models import Alert
alert = Alert(title="Test", text="Test text")
db.session.add(alert)
db.session.commit()

quit()

To run the webapp:

flask run

To hit the alert creation API:

curl -i -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"title":"Test Alert!", "text":"some other test thing"}' http://localhost:5000/api/alert

You must make a post request to the API at the url IP_ADDRESS/api/alert with the json containing both a title and a text attribute
