ZeroToJuniorMapAlpha

Web application exclusive for ZeroToJunior.dev community members (a place for developer wannabies), that shows an approximated location of particular users. It's meant to help grasp the popularity of this community, its geographic distribution, and potentially even help gather some members for local, offline events. Strength in numbers!

Stack

• Frontend: HTML + CSS + JavaScript
• Backend: CRUD REST API (Python + Flask + PostgreSQL)

Installation

To tinker with this project (backend side), follow these steps:

1. Clone this repository to your local machine.
2. Install PostgreSQL.
3. Install all dependencies from /backend/requirements.txt.
4. Open /backend/db_creator.py and provide appropriate details (host, port, user, password) for the connection in the __init__() method.
5. Create an instance of the DatabaseCreator class from the /backend/db_creator.py file and run the .get_proper_database() method.
6. Run /backend/app.py to start the application.
7. Make HTTP requests (I recommend using the Postman API Platform).
