InterpLinks is a Flask application to connect client of foreign language with interpreters on any language

At the bare minimum you'll need the following for your development environment:

1. Python
2. PostgreSQL

It is strongly recommended to also install and use the following tools:

1. virtualenv

The following assumes you have all of the recommended tools listed above installed.

$ git clone https://github.com/ait-sv/InterpLinks.git
$ cd InterpLinks

$ py -3 -m venv env
$ pip install -r requirements.txt

$ alembic upgrade head

$ python wsgi.py

If all went well in the setup above you will be ready to start hacking away on the application.

This application uses Alembic for database migrations and schema management. Changes or additions to the application data models will require the database be updated with the new tables and fields. Additionally, ensure that any new models are imported into the consolidated models file at main.models. To generate a migration file based on the current set of models run the following command:

$ alembic revision --autogenerate -m "<a description of what was modified>"

Review the resulting version file located in the alembic/versions folder. If the file is to your liking upgrade the database with the following command:

$ alembic upgrade head

For anything beyond this workflow please read the Alembic documentation.

Management commands can be listed with the following command:

$ python manage.py

These can sometimes be useful to manipulate data while debugging in the browser.
