This program in SI507_project1.py is a Flask app that uses classes defined in lab3_code.py (by importing lab3_code.py into SI507_project1.py) to create routes that create instances of Bank and instances of four different types of currency (Currency, Dollar, Pound, and Yuan) depending on the route entered.
- Currency (which takes one argument, its initial value as an integer)
- Dollar (which is a child of Currency)
- Yuan (which is a child of Currency)
- Pound (which is a child of Currency)
- Bank (which takes three arguments: the name of the bank as a string, the currency as either a string represenging Currency, Dollar, Yuan, or Pound, or a type object representing the former currency types, and an initial amount, defaulting to 0)
- The home route (/) welcomes the user to the banking application but does not do anything else.
- The route
bank/<bankname>creates an instance of class Bank with name<bankname>, currency type Currency, and initial value 0, and returns the string"Welcome to <bankname>". - the route
dollar/<amt>creates an instance of class Dollar with amount<amt>and returns the string"<amt> Dollar". - the route
pound/<amt>creates an instance of class Pound with amount<amt>and returns the string"<amt> Pound". - the route
yuan/<amt>creates an instance of class Yuan with amount<amt>and returns the string"<amt> Yuan". - the route
bank/<name>/<currency>/<value>creates an instance of class Bank with name<name>, currency type<currency>, and initial value<value>and returns the string"Welcome to the <name> bank! <name> Bank holds the <currency> currency and currently holds <value> of <currency>".
- Currency (which takes one argument, its initial value as an integer)
- Dollar (which is a child of Currency)
- Yuan (which is a child of Currency)
- Pound (which is a child of Currency)
- Bank (which takes three arguments: the name of the bank as a string, the currency as either a string represenging Currency, Dollar, Yuan, or Pound, or a type object representing the former currency types, and an initial amount, defaulting to 0)
This program was written with Python 3.7.1 and the Flask module using a virtual environment. Requirements to run the program can be found in requirements.txt. To install everything from requirements.txt, download the requirements.txt file, activate your virtual environment, and then enter the following in your shell: pip install -r requirements.txt.
In order to run the program, make sure you are in the same directory as all the files, and then enter the following in your shell: python SI507_project1.py runserver. The program can then be found running at localhost:5000 plus the correct route in your browser.
