Br3nd4nt / FilmTag

FilmTag

Final project for iOS development class by Belov Vladislav (group BSE 225)

Targets

I wanted to create an app to tracking films you've watched, your thoughts and reviews about them, and also to get recomended new films based on movies you've previously watched

Development

Mobile app

For mobile app i used swift (obviously), UIKit, and some of packages:

• SDWebImageSwiftUI

  For easy downloading images asynchronically

• Cosmos

  For creating easy and good-looking 5-star reviews

Server

Whole project became possible and was created aroud TMDB - the movie database

Prvate server was written in Python using libraries:

• Flask

  Whole server was written in Flask, its used for dealing with all the URL requests created in mobile app

• sqlite3

  Used to create and manage local database

• requests

  Used for creating requests to TMDB API

Usage

Mobile app

To run iOS app download the Xcode project:

git clone -b main https://github.com/br3nd4nt/filmtag

Then open it, for example like this:

cd filmtag
open FilmTag.xcodeproj

Open Constrains enum located in Views/LoginViewController.swift and change serverIP to IP and chosen of your server

and run it in your Xcode for preferable device

Server

To run server on your own, firsly go to https://developer.themoviedb.org/docs/getting-started and get yourself an API key

save it as an enviroment variable for name TMDBAPIKey (or another preferable name and change it in the /server/TMDBAPI.py)

you can do it different ways, for example:

echo "export TMDBAPIKey=YOUR_API_KEY_HERE" >> /etc/profile

or if you are using zsh as i do:

echo "export TMDBAPIKey=YOUR_API_KEY_HERE" >> ~/.zshrc

Then you download server part of the project:

git clone -b server https://github.com/br3nd4nt/filmtag

Open it and install all required libraries:

cd filmtag/server
pip install -r requirements.txt

Open server.py file and put ip in it:

YOUR_IP = "YOUR_IP_HERE"

Also if you want you can change what port to use in the botton of the same file here:

app.run(port=8080, host=YOUR_IP)

And after all of this you can simply start up your server:

python server.py
