Lizard Catalog App

This is a Lizard Catalog app created as project 3 of Udacity's Full Stack Web Developer Nanodegree. I created this app to practice CRUD (create, read, update, delete) database operations and to practice incorporating 3rd-party frameworks and modules into my codebase. It is currently run on localhost, but it could be deployed to the web in the future.

*EDIT* Lizard catalog is NOW LIVE at lizardapp.herokuapp.com

What exactly is a Lizard Catalog App?

I believe coding something I care about is far better than coding without drive or purpose. Project 3 calls for students to create a basic catalog app with two data points connected in a parent/child relationship (like in this sample website).

Instead of creating an app to organize items within categories (generic and boring), I created an app to organize lizards and their hobbies! Is this practical? No, not really. But it brings me a smile every time I boot it up :).

Features

  • Supports secure user accounts
  • Supports Google and Facebook authentication
  • Enables image uploads from image urls for an enhanced UI experience
  • Logged-in users can add, edit, and delete their lizards and lizards' hobbies from the database
  • Every data point added to the database is viewable, but only the user who added the data can edit or delete it
  • A recent activity feed is displayed on the home page, showing the latest updates to the database
  • Data can be access via JSON and Atom Endpoints

Setup

  1. Secure shell into the vagrant VM installed in this github repository.
  2. Navigate to the top-level directory and boot up the app with the command python lizardCatalog.py. Press ctrl+c to shut down the app.
  3. Open an internet browser and enter the url localhost:8000.

Test Data

If you want to populate the lizard database with data automatically, use the testData.py script.
Here's how to run the script:

  1. First follow the setup steps to get the app up and running.
  2. Create a user by logging into the web app. Record the user id of your user. It will be shown in the flash message.
  3. In the top-level directory, run this command python testData.py [user id] subbing in "user id" with your user id.
