Project 4 of Udacity's Fullstack Nanodegree.
This is an application that provides a list of items within a variety of categories as well as provide a user registration and authentication system. Registered users will have the ability to post, edit and delete their own items.
I learnt how to develop a RESTful web application using the Python framework Flask along with implementing third-party OAuth authentication, when to properly use the various HTTP methods available and how these methods relate to CRUD (create, read, update and delete) operations.
- Efficiently interacting with data is the backbone upon which performant web applications are built.
- Properly implementing authentication mechanisms and appropriately mapping HTTP methods to CRUD operations.
1.Install the Vagrant & VirtualBox 5.1.
2.Clone the Udacity Vagrantfile.
3.Clone this repo in the vagrant dir.
4.Launch the Vagrant VM by vagrant up command.
5.Log into Vagrant VM vagrant ssh command.
6.Navigate to cd /vagrant as instructed in terminal.
7.Setup application's database by running python database_setup.py .This would create a database named catalogdb.db
8.Insert sample data items by running python data.py . This would populate the database with some data.
9.Run the application by running python project.py
Access the application locally using http://localhost:5000
To get the Google login working there are a few additional steps:
1.Go to Google Dev Console.
2.Sign up or Login in this.
3.Go to Credentials.
4.Select Create Crendentials > OAuth Client ID
5.Select Web application.
6.Enter name 'My Project'
7.Authorized JavaScript origins = 'http://localhost:5000'
8.Save Changes
9.Copy the Client ID and paste it into the data-clientid in login.html present in the templates folder
10. Authorized redirect URIs = 'http://localhost:5000/login' and 'http://localhost:5000/gconnect' and save it.
11.On the Dev Console Select Download JSON
12.Rename JSON file to client_secrets.json
13.Place JSON file in your directory where project.py is present
14.Run your application. Hope that runs well.
