Star Wars Challenge

This is an application which lists down star wars and their respective hyperdrives sorted in an ascending order.

Python3.
Flask
Virtualenv.
Redis. You need to install redis on your machine, then afterwards you activate it. This is the command you run on mac brew services start redis
Celery. This is also needed to perform some background processes, for this project, celery is already in the requirements.txt file.
Docker. For easy deployment, you have to download Docker for containerizing our application.

First clone this repository

git clone https://github.com/huxaiphaer/starwars.git

Create a .env file in the root directory and add the following :

REDIS_CONFIG=redis://redis:6379/0
REDIS_HOST=redis
REDIS_PORT=6379
REDIS_DB=1
REDIS_CHAR_SET=utf-8
REDIS_DECODE_RESPONSE=True
SECRET_KEY=anyname

Then, create a virtual environment and install in on Mac :

virtualenv venv
source venv/bin/activate

After activating the virtualenv, then install the necessary dependencies :

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Run docker :

docker-compose up --build

After, the above command finishes and it starts celery beats, then route to http://localhost:5000/api/v1/starwars

Viola , then we can see our application routing to the api endpoint :-)
