Item Catalog

Welcome to the Item Catalog!

Summary

The item catalog provides a listing of sports products. Users can login to the site via Google+ or Facebook. Once logged in users can add, edit or delete categories and products. Users cannot modify categories and products from other uers. API endpoints are available in JSON and XML.

Pre-requisites

1. A virtual machine of your choice to host the database and the webserver. I used VirtualBox and Vagrant.
2. SQLite to host the item catalog database.
3. Python to run the database script and web server.
4. A client ID and client secret from either Google+ or Facebook.

Getting Started

1. Download the project files.

2. Open the root directory and locate database_test_script.py. This is the script to create and populate the database. Execute the script:

python database_test_script.py

3. Now you'll need to save your client ID and client secret from your Google+ or Facebook account into the appropriate config file.

Google+

In the root directory locate client_secrets_google.json. Enter your client ID, client secret and project ID in the appropriate fields.

{
    "web":
    {
        "client_id":"YOUR_CLIENT_ID",
        "client_secret":"YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET",

        "project_id":"YOUR_PROJECT_ID",

Facebook

In the root directory locate client_secrets_facebook.json. Enter your client ID and client secret in the appropriate fields.

{
    "web":
    {
        "app_id": "YOUR_CLIENT_ID",
        "app_secret": "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET"
    }
}

4. In the root directory locate item_catalog.py. Launch the module to host the webserver:

python item_catalog.py

5. Navigate to http://localhost:5000
