Features

This application does feature a simple authentication concept with encryption over the data transfered between the client and the endpoint.

  $ git clone https://github.com/bardsnight/aps-proj.git

• Create a python virtual environment
  $ python -m venv venv

• Activate the virtual environment
  $ .\venv\Scripts\activate

• Install project dependencies
  $ pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

This application is deployed with both the client main.py and the Flask API app.py. You have to run both to be able to reproduce the concept.

• First, run the Flask API with the Virtual Environment (venv) active:
  $ (venv) $ flask run
  By default, flask run will run app.py.

Your API should now be running at http://localhost:500/.

• Open up another CLI and run the main application:
  (venv) $ python .\main.py

You can now select whichever options you wanna test.
1 for logging in with a existent user.
2 for registering a new user.
3 to quit the application.
