alexorpj's Introduction

Alex Or PJ?

This is the application that hosts the Alex or PJ functionality on the web. This README documents how to get things up and running.

Development

In order to get the application to run, there are a couple of steps.

Virtual env

As per usual, you need to create a virtual environment and install dependencies. I'm not going to cover that here.

Env Vars

The app needs a number of env vars to be passed to it in order to function. It's set up to grab these from a .env file in the root directory. Create this file and add entries to it for

SECRET_KEY=<key>
TWITTER_CONSUMER_TOKEN=<token> #from the twitter app
TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET=<secret> #from the twitter app

Running the app

To run the application, execute the following command in the root directory.

gunicorn --pythonpath src app:app --reload

Testing

Run the test suite with

pytest src

Don't grab all the tweets all the time

The application currently grabs tweets for every new user, Alex and PJ all the time. This could be improved so that it only does it once in a time period or only updates tweets not yet grabbed once before.
