tv-and-film-buff

TO SETUP

If you have pyenv installed (instructions for how to install pyenv here: https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv#installation) then you can use it to create a virtualenv:

• First install 3.9.1 python version with pyenv:

pyenv install 3.9.1

• Then create a virtualenv using that python version:

pyenv virtualenv 3.9.1 tv-and-film-buff-env

where tv-and-film-buff-env is the virtualenv name we gave

You should see a virtualenv named tv-and-film-buff-env listed if you run the command:

pyenv virtualenvs

• and then to activate it:

pyenv activate tv-and-film-buff-env

• and to install dependencies

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

When you are done you can deactivate your virtualenv:

pyenv deactivate

ALTERNATIVELY If you don't have pyenv installed you can setup a virtualenv using virtualenv like so:

If you don't have virtualenv you can install it with:

pip3 install virtualenv

python3 -m venv tv-and-film-buff-env

where tv-and-film-buff-env the environment name

source tv-and-film-buff-env/bin/activate

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

When you are done you can deactivate your virtualenv:

deactivate

TO RUN THE APP

After you have successfully finished setting up you will need to create a .env file and add the token like so:

API_KEY=*****

First run the migration:

python3 manage.py migrate

and then to add data in the database login to the shell:

python3 manage.py shell_plus - This creates a shell with models already imported as opposed to python3 manage.py shell

and then

s = Series.objects.create(title="Game of Thrones", total_seasons=8, series_id="tt0944947")
Episodes.objects.create(
    title="Winter Is Coming",
    plot="Eddard Stark is torn between his family and an old friend when asked to serve at the side of King Robert Baratheon; Viserys plans to wed his sister to a nomadic warlord in exchange for an army.",
    episode_number=1,
    season_number=1,
    genre="Action, Adventure, Drama",
    language="English",
    imdbRating=9.0,
    imdbID="tt1480055",
    poster="https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BOTYwZDNlMDMtZWRkNC00NzNkLTk2ZDMtNGQ1MmEwNzAwZGZhXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyMjg2MTMyNTM@._V1_SX300.jpg",
    series=s
)
Episodes.objects.create(
    title="The Kingsroad",
    plot="While Bran recovers from his fall, Ned takes only his daughters to King's Landing. Jon Snow goes with his uncle Benjen to the Wall. Tyrion joins them.",
    episode_number=2,
    season_number=1,
    genre="Action, Adventure, Drama",
    language="English",
    imdbRating=8.0,
    imdbID="tt1668746",
    poster="https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BMTQyMjMzMDIxOV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwODU2ODg5NA@@._V1_SX300.jpg",
    series=s
)

or python3 manage.py dbshell if you prefer running raw SQL commands

Then to run the app:

python3 manage.py runserver

and open

localhost:8000/episodes in your browser

then to view only one episode:

localhost:8000/episodes/tt1668746 where tt1668746 is imdbID

TO RUN THE TESTS

And then to run the tests with a coverage report running the following command: pytest tests

or for including coverage report

pytest --cov=tv_and_film_buffAPI tests/

or

pytest --cov-report term-missing --cov=tv_and_film_buffAPI tests

You will need to set export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=tv_and_film_buffAPI.config.settings directly pasting in your terminal, or adding it to .env and loading from there

If you get an error: E django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured. Requested setting ... but settings are not configured. You must either define the environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE or call settings.configure() before accessing settings.

it's because that variable isn't set properly in your terminal where you are running the tests

Some notes about plans for the future:

As a user I would like to:

• browse series options and add my favourite series to my account
• browse film options and add my favourite films to my account
• get a notification for when an episode has been added to one of my series
• get recommendations from similar users for what to watch
• filter for various things such as imdbRatings
• add comments on each episode
• e.t.c

There are various TODOS left in the code for things I would like to change and I have left notes, such as

• refactor the ingest_data.py script into a service, and
• create appropriate asynchronous tasks (such as ones that would check whether there is a new episode for the series the user has selected)
• Move to postgres
• Deploy to ECS and re-architecting some bits into AWS technologies
• A user interface could be fun to build for this app

Ideas are very welcome!
