Application based on Flaks and Angular to get users from https://reqres.in/api. Whole front side is based on Angular and SASS preprocessor. Also whole project is in docker containers.
There are few ways to install and test application:
- Docker
- Manual
1. Make shure you have docker installed
2. docker-compose up -d
3. docker exec users-app_backend_1 python -m unittest # run test
4. Open browser on localhost:8000
1. Make shure you have nodejs>=10.0 installed
2. Cloene repo
3. Create an vitualenvironment via pyenv/virtualenv/conda etc.
4. pip -r requirements.txt
5. python -m unittest # run test
6. uwsgi --socket 0.0.0.0:5000 --protocol=http --module app:APP # run backend
5. cd static/src
6. npm i
7. npm i -g @angular/cli
8. ng serve
9. Open browser on localhost:4200 # run frontend
I have put a project into docker container. So it could be easily integrated with Cloud Systems such as AWS, Azure or Google Cloud.
Also there is Nginx as a proxy server. Main purpose of that is to serving static files from frontend and pass all request to backend API.
In the project I have made my own class NestableBlueprint to replace Flask Blueprint. Unfortunately Flaks's blueprint cannot be nested, so I could not make a nested API.
The first blueprint is using for routing of API versions and thw second - for routing of app modules.
Also I have included there function .register_view() to register REST endpoint for whole MethodView (ViewSet in Django). That is optional and you could add endpoint to your view via standard function .add_url_rule().
Backend is serving through uWSGI that make code more secure. And in case if amount of requests would grow up - there is possible to create few workers to handle those requests.
For a frontend I have choice Angular mostly because I have more experience with that. I think that React would be better for as small project as that. But otherwise it this project would grow up - Angular would be a better choice.
