How to Install sqlite3 Tools

1. Visit this page and download sqlite-tools-win32-x86-3330000.zip (or use this direct link).
2. In the zip file, extract the 3 EXE files to the C:\sqlite3 directory.
3. Use the keyboard shortcut Windows key + R, type in systempropertiesadvanced and press Enter. A new window titled System Properties should open.
4. Click on the button labeled Environment Variables near the bottom.
5. In the System Variables section, scroll down and double-click on the Path variable. A new window titled Edit environment variable should open.
6. Click on New, type in C:\sqlite3, and press Enter.
7. Press OK on all the previous dialogs to close them.

How to Set up a Virtual Environment (venv)

1. Open an administrator command prompt.
2. Change directory to the project folder (e.g. C:\Users\<username>\infosecurity-project\).
3. Run python -m venv venv and wait for it to finish.
4. Run venv\scripts\activate.
5. Run pip install -r requirements.txt.

NOTE: If you installed a new package, update requirements.txt by following the steps below (since the venv directory will not be pushed to the remote repository):

1. Open an administrator command prompt.
2. Change directory to the project folder (e.g. C:\Users\<username>\infosecurity-project\).
3. Run venv\scripts\activate.
4. Run pip freeze > requirements.txt.
5. Commit the changes to requirements.txt and push it to the remote repository.

Code Style

This project is formatted using Black. Instructions for how to install black can be found here.

Please remember to run black . before committing your changes to any Python file(s) to ensure consistent formatting across all Python files in this project.

Case Styles

• camelCase: first word is all lowercase, then subsequent words are capitalized. Has no delimiters.
• PascalCase: like camelCase, but the first word is also capitalized.
• snake_case: all words are in lowercase, delimited by a single underscore.
• SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE like snake_case, but all words are in uppercase.
• kebab-case all words are in lowercase, delimited by a single hyphen.

What Case Style to Use

Python

Use snake_case for most names, except:

• Class names: PascalCase
• Constants: SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE

You DO NOT use camelCase in Python.

JavaScript

Use camelCase for most names, except:

• Class names: PascalCase
• Constants: SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE

You DO NOT use snake_case in JavaScript.

CSS (e.g. background-color), HTML attribute names and values (e.g. <button data-target="#generate-new-api-key-prompt">Generate New API Key</button>), and URLs (e.g. /api/key-management)

Use kebab-case for all names.

Jinja

Use snake_case for Jinja variables, since they are essentially Python variables under the hood.
