This is Project 3 of Full Stack Web Developer Nanodegree.

It implements a web application that allows authenticated user to add, edit or delete items to four categories: book, movie, TV series, and album. Unauthenticated user is only able to view the items. It can be viewed as an extremely simplified version of the Chinese website: douban.

This project is developed with HTML, CSS and javascript in the front end, and Python (Flask and SQLAlchemy) in the back end.

Click either "Clone in Desktop" or "Download ZIP" to the right, and move the repository to fullstack-nanodegree-vm/vagrant folder (Step 2).

    # In the terminal:
    # Go to the downloaded repository folder.
    cd item_catalog
    # Set up and populate the database
    python populate_database.py

It should print "Database is successfully setup and populated."

This application depends on specific versions of the following packages:

SQLAlchemy should be >= 1.0.0

Werkzeug == 0.8.3

Flask == 0.9

    # In the terminal:
    # Launch and connect to the Vagrant VM
    vagrant up
    vagrant ssh
    # Check whether the following packages have the correct versions
    pip show sqlalchemy
    pip show werkzeug
    pip show flask
    # if not, uninstall current version and install specific version
    # https://pip.readthedocs.org/en/1.1/usage.html#install-packages

    # In the terminal:
    # Launch and connect to the Vagrant VM
    vagrant up
    vagrant ssh
    # Run the application
    cd /vagrant/item_catalog
    python application.py
