Fyyur is a musical venue and artist booking site that facilitates the discovery and bookings of shows between local performing artists and venues. This site lets you list new artists and venues, discover them, and list shows with artists as a venue owner.
Our tech stack will include the following:
- virtualenv as a tool to create isolated Python environments
- SQLAlchemy ORM to be our ORM library of choice
- PostgreSQL as our database of choice
- Python3 and Flask as our server language and server framework
- Flask-Migrate for creating and running schema migrations
You can download and install the dependencies mentioned above using
pip
as:
pip install virtualenv
pip install SQLAlchemy
pip install postgres
pip install Flask
pip install Flask-Migrate
You must have the HTML, CSS, and Javascript with Bootstrap 3 for our website's frontend. Bootstrap can only be installed by Node Package Manager (NPM). Therefore, if not already, download and install the Node.js. Windows users must run the executable as an Administrator, and restart the computer after installation. After successfully installing the Node, verify the installation as shown below.
node -v
npm -v
Install Bootstrap 3 for the website's frontend:
npm init -y
npm install bootstrap@3
- Implement artist availability. An artist can list available times that they can be booked. Restrict venues from being able to create shows with artists during a show time that is outside of their availability.
- Show Recent Listed Artists and Recently Listed Venues on the homepage, returning results for Artists and Venues sorting by newly created. Limit to the 10 most recently listed items.
- Implement Search Artists by City and State, and Search Venues by City and State. Searching by "San Francisco, CA" should return all artists or venues in San Francisco, CA.
- Initialize and activate a virtualenv using:
python -m virtualenv env
source env/bin/activate
Note - In Windows, the
env
does not have abin
directory. Therefore, you'd use the analogous command shown below:
source env/Scripts/activate
- Install the dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt
- Run the development server:
export FLASK_APP=myapp
export FLASK_ENV=development # enables debug mode
python3 app.py
- Verify on the Browser
