Reimagined Invention

New generation of the book inventoy.

Requirements:

• Python 3.9.10 in a venv reimagined-invention

Design patterns

This project will be developed usign a functional structure to organize the files of the project according to what they do. This means that templates are grouped together in one directory, static in another and views in a third (copy/paste from Flask documentation).

DB relationships:

Author -> Book should be a many-to-many relationship as multiple authors can share the ownership of a book.

For example, authors A and B wrote the book X. When listing all the books written by author A, book X must appear in the results. Likewise when listing the books written by author B.

If we want to use a one-to-one relationship, the book X should only be returned as part of the results if we search by "the books written by author A and author B" working together.

See PR/3 for documentation about v0.1.0 release.

Usage

Create an empty .env_vars file. If you want to take advantage of the Makefile, update it with the following content:

CF_TUNNEL=some_token
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=some_password

Create a config.yaml out of config.yaml.example and update the values. Then:

flask --app app --debug db migrate
flask --app app --debug db upgrade
flask --app app --debug run

Building images

It uses a Makefile, and it's as simply as:

make build
make push

This will build two images:

• One named latest
• One named after the latest git tag

Images will be pused to AWS ECR private repository, until this project gets open-sourced. Which will happen once it's live.

Sample DB

Sample DB has been added. On mysql create a new DB and restore using the dump.
