Development

Below are some of the dependencies you will need:

Then, clone the repository and create a Pipenv environment.

$ git clone git@github.com:Spiderpig86/coronavirus-us-api.git
$ cd ./coronavirus-us-api

Install Pipenv and set up your virtual environment with the needed dependencies.

$ pip install --user pipenv
$ pipenv sync --dev
$ pipenv shell

Now that this is all setup, you can run the commands to run, test, and format the project. The project will start at localhost:8000 by default (configurable in backend/core/config/config.yml):

Debugging/Live Reloading

$ pipenv run dev

Running

$ pipenv run start

Formatting

$ invoke black

Sort Imports

$ invoke sort

Linting

$ invoke check

Unit Testing

$ invoke test

End to End Tests

$ invoke e2e

Generate Test Coverage

$ invoke coverage

Docker

Setting up Docker is quite straight forward -- unless you are using Windows 10 Home (more on this later).

Run these commands.

docker-compose build
docker-compose up

If you are using a non-supported OS for Docker, you would need to use Docker Toolkit. Once you have it set up, if you are not able to access the container itself, allow port 8080 in your VM. Reference
