A sample Flask application to manage your contacts.
I decided to implement a simple contacts application. The "database" is a simple JSON file that gets modified as contacts are modified (added, updated or removed).
For the sake of the exercise, I'm integrating with OpenWeatherMap and providing the current, max and min temperatures of the day on the first page. In the interest of time I decided to use a library already written by someone else.
There are 3 tests in the app but are really basic. My time is pretty short at the moment so decided to just exercise basic tests although, without a running CI, it's hard to realize the value of them at the moment.
I decided to not use **args, kwargs or *kwargs as I did not see it necessary. Coming up with an excuse for it would just make the code confusing so I decided against it.
That's that. Happy reviewing.
To run the application you will need Python 3.7 and pipenv installed - instructions here.
Once that's done all you need is to run
pipenv install --devand the required dependencies (including dev dependencies) will be installed.
Then, in order to run the application, you can just run
pipenv shell
FLASK_APP=app flask runand the app will start listening on localhost:5000.
In a terminal, run
pipenv run testsNote: tests are really basic right now. Due to time constraints I'm experimenting with them.
