Flask Full-Stack App

Instructions to run locally

• Clone the repository:

    git clone [repo-name]
  

• Install additional packages(use a virtual-env to avoid global install):

    pip install -r requirements.txt
  

• Add environement variables for the database credentials. This can be done either in a .env file or by exporting them into your current terminal instance:

    export db_name=[your-db-name]
    export db_user=[your-db-username]
    export db_pass=[your-db-password]
  

• Run the server in development/debug mode:

    FLASK_APP=app.py FLASK_ENV=development flask run
  

• [Additional Feature] You can actually send a real email to the attendee confirming their registration. This can be done using the MailJet service. Just add the required credentials to your environment to activate this feature:

    export mailjet_email=[your-mailjet-email]
    export mailjet_key=[your-mailjet-api-key]
    export mailjet_secret=[your-mailjet-secret]
  

• If you'd like to test this feature out and don't have a MailJet account, check the project environment for the heroku-hosted (https://flask-full-stack.herokuapp.com/) link and test it out.
