I created basic functionalitites of a movie rental store, according to my imagination. I had the liberty to add or modify the sue case provided to me.

BUILD AND RUN

Python 3.10.1 was used to build the project. Windows is my OS, so the commands provided are only valid for Windows.

• Clone the project
• Install dependencies using the following command: pip install -r requirements.txt
• Activate the virtual environment: source venv/Scripts/activate
• Change directory to ./src and execute flask db upgrade in order to create the database. Migrations folder is provided in the project and initial foo data are provided in ./src/init_db.sql. The sql queries must be executed in order for the database to have data in it.
• In order to execute the app, if VS Code is your IDE of choice, you can execute the task provided in the .vscode/launch.json file. Otherwise, provided you are in the ./src folder, execute flask run in the terminal.

Documentation is provided inside every method and view of the project to explain the functionality.

I used Insomnia client to call the endpoints.

I have provided an export json file from the Insomnia client in order to have a reference of the endpoints. The responses that are inside the export json file are indicative and depend on the request provided by the user.

TESTING

The test script is located in ./src/test_api.py. I used VS Code to test the API by using the Testing extension.
