To run on port 5000:
For this example your images will live in the /img directory. This assumes that you've already gotten google credentials and named the file google-credentials.json in the home directory of this project. Feel free to name these folders whatever you like, live your truth.
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ export FLASK_APP=app.py IYF_CACHE_DIR=img/cache/ IYF_IMAGE_DIR=img/ GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=google-credentials.json
$ flask run
This sets up the scaffolding where your images will get stored and tells the application where to look for your google credentials.
Note: the / are important as folders are built as strings--e.g. without them, IYF will attempt to load images in the imgglitter or imgthinking directories instead.
It can be really handy to have debug mode on for this for continuous refresh. If you'd like that then also run the following and restart the app:
$ export FLASK_DEBUG=1
This should be all you need to do to get up and running with the app. In another window try the following command to curl to the simple api:
curl -X POST -H 'Content-type: application/JSON' -d '{"effects" : ["glitter"], "urls" : ["https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/777564057553567749/7P6m2BMF_400x400.jpg"] }' http://localhost:5000/effect
Check your ./img/glitter directory for a new image to confirm that it worked
In order for the inyourface library to work you will need credentials for the google vision api and they will need to be stored in the home directory for this project under:
.google-credentials.json
- Proper error handling for
- no image
- no effects
- check file upload size is not too much
- add a util class with:
- directory hack update for all inyourface effects
- sample util functions like
getDirectoryPath(),getAngle(),getCoefficient()
