Virtual Environment Created in Windows 11

Note: If you are using SQLite, please be aware that SQLite has limitations in certain aspects. For example, SQLite doesn't convert UUID4 to a string automatically like MySQL does. Therefore, MySQL is preferred. If you want to use SQLite, make sure to typecast the UUIDs to string.

Quiz Creation

When creating a quiz, if you enter the same question ID more than once, it will only be added once.

Unwanted Imports and Datetime

There may be some unwanted imports initially included. Feel free to remove them as needed.
We don't explicitly insert the updated_ts (updated timestamp) every time. Instead, we use SQLAlchemy's built-in onupdate feature at the database level.

Attempting a Quiz

When making a request to attempt a quiz, the response should be in the following format:

{
  "quiz_id": "string",
  "responses": {
    "question_id": "response",
    "question_id": "response",
    "question_id": "response"
  },
  "session_id": "string"
}

Example

{
  "quiz_id": "21013492",
  "responses": {
    "82987650": 2,
    "31420463": 4,
    "29391564": 3
  },
  "session_id": "76f3f47d-7c72-4355-b5f2-a64147a6a2db"
}

Improvements

Consider the following improvements for your application:

Implement a "Sign Out of All Devices" feature to enhance security.
Use cookies to get and set the session ID in the response body for a persistent user experience.
The current implementation uses the first 8 digits of the UUID4 integer for ID generation in tables. You may want to consider alternatives such as auto-incrementing primary keys or modifying the UUID generation process. The UUID generation logic is wrapped in a function and can be modified wherever required.
