Tech Stack (Dependencies)

1. Backend Dependencies

Our tech stack will include the following:

virtualenv as a tool to create isolated Python environments
SQLAlchemy ORM to be our ORM library of choice
PostgreSQL as our database of choice
Python3 and Flask as our server language and server framework
Flask-Migrate for creating and running schema migrations You can download and install the dependencies mentioned above using pip as:

pip install virtualenv
pip install SQLAlchemy
pip install postgres
pip install Flask
pip install Flask-Migrate

Note - If we do not mention the specific version of a package, then the default latest stable package will be installed.

2. Frontend Dependencies

You must have the HTML, CSS, and Javascript with Bootstrap 3 for our website's frontend. Bootstrap can only be installed by Node Package Manager (NPM). Therefore, if not already, download and install the Node.js. Windows users must run the executable as an Administrator, and restart the computer after installation. After successfully installing the Node, verify the installation as shown below.

node -v
npm -v

Install Bootstrap 3 for the website's frontend:

npm init -y
npm install bootstrap@3

Overall:

Models are located in the MODELS section of models.py.
Controllers are also located in app.py.
Authentications are located in auth/auth.py.
The web frontend is located in templates/, which builds static assets deployed to the web server at static/.
Web forms for creating data are located in form.py

Highlight folders:

templates/pages -- Defines the pages that are rendered to the site. These templates render views based on data passed into the template’s view, in the controllers defined in app.py. These pages successfully represent the data to the user, and are already defined for you.
templates/layouts -- Defines the layout that a page can be contained in to define footer and header code for a given page.
templates/forms -- Defines the forms used to create new movies, and actors.
app.py -- Defines routes that match the user’s URL, and controllers which handle data and renders views to the user. This is the main file you will be working on to connect to and manipulate the database and render views with data to the user, based on the URL.
Models in models.py -- Defines the data models that set up the database tables.
Authentications in auth/auth.py -- Defines some methods to get authentication header, get and decode JWT token and check permissions.

Development Setup

Clone the project

git clone git@github.com:KhoiVuKha/Project-Casting-Agency.git
cd Project-Casting-Agency

Initialize and activate a virtualenv using:

python3 -m venv env
source env/bin/activate

Note - In Windows, the env does not have a bin directory. Therefore, you'd use the analogous command shown below:

source env/Scripts/activate

Install the dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Set up environment: Note that the main database was deployed in render server.

chmod +x setup.sh
source setup.sh

Run unit test Note: Before run unit test, please do some steps in section 8 to get the JWT token for Excutive Producer user and modify the old token (variable JWT) in setup.sh file

dropdb casting_agency_test # (optional) Drop if it exists
createdb casting_agency_test 
psql -U postgres -d casting_agency_test < casting_agency_test.sql
python3 test_app.py

Run API test (RBAC) Note: Before run API test, please do some steps in section 8 to get the JWT tokens for Casting Assistant, Casting Director, Excutive Producer, save these tokens in order to import to Postman in the future. We may need using some Incognito tabs of browser to prevent caching or we may need to clear cache for another login.

dropdb casting_agency_test # (optional) Drop if it exists
createdb casting_agency_test 
psql -U postgres -d casting_agency_test < casting_agency_test.sql
python3 app.py

Open Postman and import json config: project-casting-agency.postman_collection.json modify these old JWT tokens with these new token that you've just saved and run all test of project-casting-agency with following configs:

Run manually
Interations: 1
Delay: 0 Then press Run project-casting-agency to run all test.

Run the development server locally:

python3 app.py

Verify on the Browser
Please press Login in Navigation Bar and login as following roles (User name and password provided in setup.sh file):

Casting Assistant
- Can view actors and movies
Casting Director
- All permissions a Casting Assistant has and…
- Add or delete an actor from the database
- Modify actors or movies
Executive Producer
- All permissions a Casting Director has and…
- Add or delete a movie from the database Then get appropriate JWT token in the address bar of browser.
For Development (Run app locally): Navigate to project homepage http://127.0.0.1:5000/ or http://localhost:5000
For users (Run app deployed in render server): https://casting-agency-specifications.onrender.com/.

Troubleshooting:

If you encounter any dependency errors, please ensure that you are using Python 3.9 or lower.
If you are still facing the dependency errors, follow the given commands:
- using pip install --upgrade flask-moment
- Using pip install Werkzeug==2.0.0
- Using pip uninstall Flask and then pip install flask==2.0.3

Deployment to Render Cloud Platform

Follow this instruction to deploy Flask App to Render Cloud.
