Library managment system

A library managment system written with Flask and Peewee. Currently work in progress. Currently only a couple of administration pages work.

To-Do

• Laying out all database models
• Write accompanying methods for models
• Write the administration pages
• Change the way database configuration is being configured (currently not safe)
• Program login portal for adminstration pages
• Write customer pages e.g.:
  • book page
  • account information page
  • review page
  • home page
• Connect customer login page so only logged in customer can write reviews and view their own account information
• Give the site some style with CSS
• Insert demo data into the database to improve the demo experience

How to run the demo version

Terminal commands are denoted by:$

• clone the repo
• $ pip install -r requiremenets.txt
• $ sudo apt install mariadb-server or mysql-server
• $ export DB_HOST="localhost" or you can use another IP address from where the database is running from.
• Create two users for the database. The users that are configured for testing are development and unittest. Their passwords are devpassword and test_db.

PLEASE ONLY USE THESE SETTINGS FOR LOCAL TESTING! NEVER USE USERNAMES AND PASSWORDS PROVIDED BY A MAINTAINER FOR PRODUCTION USE!

• Create two databases with the names devdatabase and test_db where development has access to devdatabase and unittest has access to test_db.
• Run $ python models.py to create the tables in the databases
• Run $ python unittests.py to run the unittests
• Run $ python app.py to start the server. The website is available on 127.0.0.1:5000.

Currently this is not optimal at all, configuring the databases should be way more secure
