A simple app to track movie collections.

---

Set up

The application is broken up in two pieces, the server-side api written using Flask and a client-side SPA written using React.

API

Requirements

• Python3.7
• pipenv
• sqlite3

1. Install

cd api && pipenv install

2. Activate env

pipenv shell

4. Load up the DB

python db.py

# Optionally load up some seed data
sqlite3 movies.db < seed.sql

5. Run

export FLASK_ENV=development # Optional
FLASK_APP=api:create_app flask run

Examples

The API can currently only return a JSON response, ex:

λ ~/projects/movie_catalogue/ master* curl localhost:5000/movies/1
{
  "actors": [
    {
      "id": 3,
      "name": "Jake Gyllenhaal"
    }
  ],
  "created_at": 1533516337,
  "genres": [
    {
      "id": 4,
      "name": "thriller"
    },
    {
      "id": 5,
      "name": "sci-fi"
    }
  ],
  "id": 1,
  "rating": null,
  "seen": 0,
  "title": "Donnie Darko"
}

Some examples of querying with cURL:

# See all movies
curl "localhost:5000/movies"

# Apply some filters
curl "localhost:5000/movies?title=John"
curl "localhost:5000/movies?limit=2"
curl "localhost:5000/movies?genre=action"
curl "localhost:5000/movies?genre=action&limit=1"

curl localhost:5000/genres
curl localhost:5000/actors

# Adding a movie
curl -X POST -d "title=Sharknado" http://localhost:5000/movies # Try again and notice error response
curl -X POST -d "title=John%20Wick%202&genres=action&actors=Keanu%20Reeves" http://localhost:5000/movies # With genre and actor
curl -X POST -d "title=Speed&genres=action,crime&actors=Keanu%20Reeves,Sandra%20Bullock" http://localhost:5000/movies # Multiple

# Use movie ID to query
curl http://localhost:5000/movies/1 # Your ID

# You can also POST to create genres and actors

Tests

• Back-end tests using pytest see: http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/1.0/testing/
• Front-end tests using jest see: https://github.com/facebook/jest

Search UI

A user should be able to search by movies based on title, genre, and actor. It would be also nice to be able to do AND and OR type queries.
