To start development:
$ brew install python3
$ virtualenv --python=python3 venv
$ source venv/bin/activate
$ make install
$ make test
To get it running, there are two options:
The first runs Postgres in a Docker container and the API locally in debug mode.
$ make dev
The second runs both Postgres and the API in Docker. This is most like production.
$ make watch
Then, assuming you are running with Docker, hitting an endpoint is as simple as
http $(boot2docker ip):5000/
http $(boot2docker ip):5000/health/
To build a Docker image for distribution:
docker build -t geowa4/base-flask-api .
docker run --rm -it -p 5000:5000 -e 'DATABASE_URI=postgresql://' geowa4/base-flask-api
