Materials service

A service for the creation and management of materials.

The service is written using the Eve REST API framework (which itself is based on Flask) using MongoDB as its database.

## Requirements

• Python 2.7
• pip
• virtualenv
• MongoDB

Installation

1. Clone the repository

2. Create virtual environment virtualenv venv

3. Activate virtual environment source venv/bin/activate

4. Install the dependencies pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

Make sure MongoDB is installed and is running and that you have activated your virtual environment.

The environment variable EVE_ENV can be used to set the environment of the application (the default being development if the variable is not set). The application looks in the db directory to find a .py file with the name of the environment.

#### Running the server

python run.py

Running the tests

python -m unittest discover -v -s tests -p "*tests.py"

Running a single test

This runs the single_test test in the TestMaterials class in the materials_tests module.

python -m unittest tests.materials_tests.TestMaterials.single_test
