This is a quick and dirty challenge for testing backend software dev skills.

Instructions for use

Install dependencies via your terminal with "pipenv sync"

To build the expected database, inside of your postgreSQL terminal run:

CREATE USER wl_user WITH PASSWORD 'password';

CREATE DATABASE tokendb WITH OWNER wl_user;

At the root level create a .flaskenv copy in the following information

FLASK_APP=app/app.py

FLASK_ENV=development

FLASK_RUN_PORT=8080

SECRET_KEY=rhW0ze@@BX#%

DATABASE_URL=postgresql://wl_user:password@localhost/tokendb

In the terminal at the root level run

flask db init

flask db migrate

flask db upgrade

Now that your dependencies are installed and the expected database is built start the application with flask run

This application can handle GET requests at localhost:8080/token. It will automatically generate and store valid tokens in the database.

This application can also handle POST requests at localhost:8080/verify. Requests must be valid JSON request with Content-Type: application/JSON headers. This API expects this format: {"token": "1'=Y..."}
