Website API

Welcome to the TD API project! This open-source project provides a flexible and easy-to-use interface for accessing and managing data related to TD. With this API, you can access a variety of information, including events, news, resources, and more. We believe in the power of open-source software and welcome contributions from developers of all skill levels. Join us in building a better future for TD!

This is the repository for the backend of our website. So if you want to contribute to our frontend, please look at this repository instead.

Tech Stack

We have chosen a tech stack that should make it easy for new students to quickly learn the ropes and start contributing.

API: Docker, Python, Fast API, MongoDB

Run Locally

We prefer a containerized development. Therefore, the only dependeciy needed to work on this project is docker/ docker-compose. To make this easier for new developers we have created a script that can be used to run the api in a container locally, this script is placed in the project root and is called dev_utils.sh.

1. Clone the project

    git clone [email protected]:td-org-uit-no/tdctl-api.git

2. Go to the project directory

    cd tdctl-api

3. Add executable rights to the container util script

    chmod +x ./dev_utils.sh

4. Build docker container

This is only needed if it is the first time you running the server or if there has been any changes to the runtime environment of the server.

    ./dev_utils.sh compose build

5. Launch the container
   • Run container in background

     Shutdown the container by running ./dev_utils.sh compose down

         ./dev_utils.sh compose up -d

     • You can now start a interactive shell within the container by running the command

       To get an interactive shell in the database container add db to the end of this command

           ./dev_utils.sh exec

   • Run the container and view container output

     Shutdown the container by pressing ctrl-C

         ./dev_utils.sh compose up

6. Optional: Seed the database with test users:

   This will provide you with a dummy admin user which has the credentials E-Mail : [email protected] Password : Admin!234 to be able to login as admin.

       ./dev_utils.sh seed

When the container is up and running you should be to view the api at localhost:5001

Running Tests

To run tests make sure the container is running, then run the following command

  ./dev_utils.sh test

You should now se an output similar to this:
