==============================================

This project is served on an installation of a Linux distribution on a virtual machine - Amazon Lightsail.

In this project we develop a RESTful web application using the Python framework Flask along with implementing third-party OAuth authentication. Learn when to properly use the various HTTP methods available to you and how these methods relate to CRUD (create, read, update and delete) operations serve it over our instance of ubuntu created on AWS.

This project is a cloned version of the following repository, modified to run on AWS - Lightsail instead of on the local virtual machine(vagrant). /~https://github.com/Christianq010/fsnd_Item-Catalog

• We use an Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) layer - SQLAlchemy to interact with our database.
• GET and POST requests that translate to CRUD operations.
• Using the Flask framework for development of our application.

A detailed description of the steps taken to set up our Ubuntu server can be found here - /~https://github.com/Christianq010/fsnd_linux_config_aws

These steps include Creating our .wsgi file, Installing our virtual environment(venv), flask and other dependencies. Installing and configuring our PostgreSQL database. Configure / Enable a new virtual host (.conf file)

• Rename project.py to init.py with mv application.py __init__.py
• Refactor the following files - __init__.py,database_setup.py,data.py to contain our new database connection.

engine = create_engine('postgresql://catalog:123456@localhost/catalog')

• Include the full file path on any code using the .open method.

app_id = json.loads(open('/var/www/FlaskApp/FlaskApp/fb_client_secrets.json', 'r').read())[
        'web']['app_id']

• For our Google Log in

• From Credentials from the menu on the left.

• Create an OAuth 2.0 Client ID.

• Choose Web application.

  • Add to our Authorized Javascript origins

  http://35.154.1.22
  http://ec2-35-154-1-22.ap-south-1.compute.amazonaws.com
  

  • Add to our Authorized redirect URIs

  http://ec2-35-154-1-22.ap-south-1.compute.amazonaws.com/catalog 
  http://ec2-35-154-1-22.ap-south-1.compute.amazonaws.com/login 
  http://ec2-35-154-1-22.ap-south-1.compute.amazonaws.com/gconnect 
  http://ec2-35-154-1-22.ap-south-1.compute.amazonaws.com/gdisconnect
  

  • Download the new client_secrets.json file and update our /var/www/FlaskApp/FlaskApp/client_secret.json with its contents.

• For our Facebook Log in

  • On App, go to our Facebook Login Settings and save the following in the Valid OAuth redirect URIs

  http://35.154.1.22
  http://35.154.1.22/login
  http://35.154.1.22/catalog
  http://ec2-35-154-1-22.ap-south-1.compute.amazonaws.com
  http://ec2-35-154-1-22.ap-south-1.compute.amazonaws.com/catalog 
  http://ec2-35-154-1-22.ap-south-1.compute.amazonaws.com/login
  

  • Add your relevant APP ID to the Facebook Log in Script in login.html.
  • Set the APP ID and APP Secret in the fb_client_secrets.json file.

• Show all Catalog names in JSON - /catalog/JSON.
• Show Items in Specific Catalog Page in JSON - /catalog/<int:category_id>/items/JSON
• Show individual Items in the URL in JSON - /catalog/<int:category_id>/items/<int:menu_id>/JSON
