To Do List Server Mock

Mock server for automation job candidates.

• Server implements RESTful API
• All API responses are formatted in JSON
• The server will be answering to requests on port 5000 (http://localhost:5000)

Environment Prerequisites

• Python 2.7.x: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-2712/
• Pip 8.1 or above: https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/

Installation

As best practice (not mandatory), we recommend installing virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper.

• Installing virtualenv: https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/latest/installation/

• Installing virtualenvwrapper: https://virtualenvwrapper.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install.html

Then, to install project prerequisites, inside the project root, run:

pip install .
