Features

personality questionnaire

This app will ask questions about you.

ideal partner questionnaire

This app will ask questions about your ideal partner.

Match compatibility based on question answers

A user is not able to see other profile photos since Finding Bestie matches partners using their answers to the questionnaire. Once a user submits the questionnaire, Finding Bestie will display 3 matches for that user. A user can view only 3 matched profiles but not their photos. When a user clicks "Asking Out" and the other person accepts it, they will be able to send messages to each other directly. The status of both users will change to "Dating". Finding Bestie doesn't allow a user to date more than one person at a time. So, users can only date one other user.
If a either of the Dating users wants to break up, by clicking the "Break Up" button, Finding Bestie will automatically initiate the break up and the status of each user will change to "Searching".

Avatar

Once both users agree to date, their avatars will changed to a heart.

Getting started

Clone this repository

Install dependencies

pipenv install --dev -r dev-requirements.txt --python=python3 && pipenv install -r requirements.txt

Create a .env file based on the example with proper settings for your development environment
Setup your PostgreSQL user, password and database and make sure it matches your .env file
Get into your pipenv, seed your database, and run your flask app
```
pipenv shell
```
```
python -m database && flask run
```
To run the React App in development, checkout the README inside the client directory.

IMPORTANT! If you add any python dependencies to your pipfiles, you'll need to regenerate your requirements.txt before deployment. You can do this by running:

pipenv lock -r > requirements.txt

ALSO IMPORTANT! psycopg2-binary MUST remain a dev dependency because you can't install it on apline-linux. There is a layer in the Dockerfile that will install psycopg2 (not binary) for us.
