This application is an example of a marketplace where you cannot buy (unfortunately). Here is how this application was implemented :
- frontend : Next.js (React framework) + Tailwind CSS
- backend : FastAPI (web framework for building APIs with Python 3.6+) + MongoDB (NoSQL database program)
- scraper : Selenium (open-source project aimed at automated web browsing)
Some functionalities :
- Visualize NFTs, real-time price in fiat currency and fixed price in cryptocurrency
- Post and access to comments made for the application on the wall page
This part is dedicated to the prerequisites to launch the application.
You can download the project by pressing the Code/Download ZIP button on GitHub or else you can type the following command in your terminal if you have Git of course.
$ git clone https://github.com/rafidini/nft-marketplace.git
Docker : Docker is a set of platform as a service products that use OS-level virtualization to deliver software in packages called containers. Containers are isolated from one another and bundle their own software, libraries and configuration files; they can communicate with each other through well-defined channels. - Wikipedia
You can download the desktop software by taking a look at this link.
In order to use the app you will have to install both Docker and Docker Compose. The following instructions are compatible with linux and macOs terminals.
- Build the images with Docker Compose
$ docker-compose build- Run the container with Docker Compose
$ docker-compose upAfter launching the docker container, check the main web page at localhost:3000 and if the page is loaded you can begin to check either, the Marketplace or the Wall.
You can also find the Marketplace at localhost:3000/marketplace and, the Wall page at localhost:3000/wall.
In order to check our API you can navigate through the following page localhost:8000/docs and you can test the different GET and, POST requests by using the Try it out button.
The scrapers are automated Python scripts that extracts data from specific websites (here binance.com) at regular intervals in an endless loop.
Data is arranged in the the local database and you can find :
- NFTs in the
nftscollection - Cryptocurrency prices in the
cryptoscollection - Wall page comments in the
commentscollection
We wanted to add an authentification system by using Keycloak but we couldn't do it with our tech stack so we put it aside. This functionnality can be implemented in the future.
Our lack of time in the project developpement did not allow us to add the gateway management with Kong so this functionnality can also be implemented in the future.
We would like to thanks the following people for their support :
