Requirements

• Python 3.6

• Docker

Setup

1. Install packages:

../src$ poetry install

--name quoradb \
--mount type=volume,source=quoradb,destination=/var/lib/postgresql/data \
-p 5001:5432 \

-e POSTGRES_DB=quora_development postgres:9.6

Application structure

This project is where I try something new about SQLAlchemy core, that means there is no more ORM.

• tables/ contains all table definitions. Any change will be detected by Alembic for migrations.
• repository/ is where queries executed and data retrieved
• schemas/ is where user input data validated and data serialization

Flows

users post data ---> endpoints ---> (schemas, repository) ---> database(tables)

users request resources ---> endpoints ---> (repository, schemas) ---> return resources

Guideline

This project uses pylint and editorconfig for coding style check
