SpaceX Demo

This demo displays SpaceX launch information, fetched from the SpaceX API.

Running the Demo

To run the demo, you will need a docker-compose version that supports compose file format version 2+. To run the demo, simply:

cd docker/compose; docker-compose up

On your first run, this will build a minimal image with the full demo and initialize the database with data from the SpaceX API. Once started, the demo will be available on port 9090. Enter a search term to see matching results.

The demo uses a simple Flask API backed by MongoDB, with Vue.js on the frontend. To query the API directly, the following endpoints are available:

/api/v1/launches /api/v1/launch/<int:flight_number>

The launches endpoint can be filtered by passing a query parameter q with the value to search for. This will perform a substring search of the following fields:

• launch_year
• rocket.rocket_name
• rocket.rocket_type
• launch_site.site_name

For example, a query for "kwaj" will return all launches from Kwajalein Atoll.
