Shopify Back-End Intern Challenge

About Django:

Django is a batteries-included Python web framework that uses the MVC pattern. I chose to use the default SQLite database, but because Django comes with a pretty good ORM by default, storing data on Postgres or MySQL is a trivial setup procedure from what is already in the repo.

Rudimentary System Diagram:

To run the project locally:

git clone [https://github.com/alswang18/imageRepository.git](https://github.com/alswang18/imageRepository.git)
cd imageRepository

#make sure you have pipenv or you can pip install pipenv
pipenv install

pipenv run python manage.py makemigrations
pipenv run python manage.py migrate
pipenv run python manage.py collectstatic

pipenv run python manage.py createsuperuser

#Option 1
#to run locally just run the following
pipenv run python manage.py runserver
#Option 2
#to run on docker do the following
docker build -t django-image-repo -f Dockerfile .
docker run -it -p 8888:8888 django-image-repo

#Go to localhost:8888
#There is currently a problem loading static assets in the docker version cause Nginx hasn't been configured.
#I am largely certain functionality is maintained as the only issue seems to be linking static files.

Things That Still Bother Me:

  • Make the datetime system more robust for users from different timezones to interact.
  • Fix the Docker container interactions to properly load static files.
  • Move the CDN files away from the repo.

Top of Mind Feature Roadmap:

  • Save a copyrighted version of each of the files to load if the image is copyrighted. Implementation for watermark function has been somewhat worked on as seen in the unintegrated watermark.py file.
  • Implement JWT-based authentication instead of session-based authentication to allow for better scalability and compatibility with Frontend JS frameworks like React.
  • Implement S3 object storage using the boto package instead of storing locally cause bootstrap and other static resources are pretty big and images will get big for local storage over time.
