About 'Catalog'

This project was completed as part of the Udacity Fullstack Nanodegree.

The assignment was to build an 'item catalog' web application that allows users to register & login via Open Authorization (OAuth). Registered users can make changes to a database. Google and Flask-SeaSurf were used in this setup.

I built Internet Computer Game Database (ICGDB).

UPDATE: This project is NOT meant to be run by anyone.

• I've removed the google project.
• The configuration files for vagrant aren't included.

Requirements

1. Udacity-prepared Vagrant directory (NOT INCLUDED in repo)
2. Python 3
   • flask-seasurf module
   • oauth2client
3. Install VirtualBox download page link
4. Install Vagrant download page link
5. Setup Google OAuth Client

File Log

1. static
   • pics
   • style_base.css
2. templates
   • multiple html files (the pieces of the web page)
3. README.md
4. db_populate.py
5. flask_server.py
6. icgdb_database_setup.py

Setup Instructions:

1. Install Flask-SeaSurf via PIP

• `$ pip install flask-seasurf

1. Access the Google Developers Console and create a project according to Udacity's guidelines
2. Download the JSON file from the Developers Console and move this file into Catalog directory.
   • Change its name to 'client_secrets.json'
3. Go to templates/login_html and change the value of the 'data-clientid' attribute to the client-id found in the client_secrets.json file
4. Go to db_populate.py, read lines ~28-34 regarding the use of a 'superuser'

How to run:

1. In your terminal, go to the Udacity-prepared Vagrant directory
2. Launch VM by VirtualBox configured with Vagrant
   • $vagrant up
3. Log into the VM
   • $vagrant ssh
4. cd to catalog directory
5. Create the database
   • $python icgdb_database_setup.py
6. Populate the database
   • $python db_populate.py
7. Serve the application
   • $python flask_server.py
8. Open your browser and access the page via localhost:5000/
   • authenticated users (users logged-in to Google) can make changes to the database

This project has the following extra credit functionality:

1. API Endpoints JSON, XML

• to access the endpoints, add "JSON" or "XML" to the end of a URL
• endpoints exists for a game, games, genres, and publishers

1. CRUD: READ (image urls in DB)
2. CRUD: CREATE, UPDATE (upload and update images)
