This is an test API to represent LeafLink's database. To run the API follow these steps:

You should install virtualenv

pip install virtualenv

After installing virtualenv create a virtual environment inside the project folder

virtualenv venv

This will create a folder call venv. To activate the virtual environment activate it in the terminal like so:

source venv/bin/activate

Now that you're in your env install the dependencies by pip installing

pip install -Ur requirements.txt

Now that dependencies are installed, you must create the database (SQLite). Our manage.py has all the commands we need to run our project. To creat the DB we execute

python manage.py create_db

After the SQL has been execute we can now run the project.

To run the server it's a similar to creating the DB. Execute the command below:

python manage.py runserver

To run the tests it's just as simple as the other commands

python manage.py test

All the test files can be found in the tests folder.

For creating a company, you can do a CURL POST request like such

curl -d "name=Company1&description=First%20Company&company_type=buyer" localhost:5000/companies

To get all companies we can do a curl GET request as such

curl localhost:5000/companies
