A simple app that reads and presents stock data from JSON

Data for the application is found in ./quotes/static/quotes_data.json. It's called via HTTP to mimic the spirit of an external API request. The URL can be defined via settings in .env.

Requirements:

• Python 3 (tested and written on 3.6.5)
• pip
• Virtualenv recommended

Check out the repository, then:

$ cd djangostocks
# Create and activate virtualenv
$ virtualenv .
$ source bin/activate

$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ ./startserver.sh

The app is available at http://localhost:8000/

Install docker for your platform, then clone the repository and build the container:

$ cd djangostocks
$ docker build -t djangostocks .
$ docker run -it -p 8000:8000 djangostocks

The app is available at http://localhost:8000/

If you want to work interactively and let django runserver restart when it detects code changes, mount your working directory to the application like so:

$ docker run -it -p 8000:8000 -v $(pwd):/app djangostocks

You may also customize .env settings via --env:

docker run -it -p 8000:8000 --env QUOTES_URL=http://example.com/other_file.json djangostocks

Install docker and the docker-compose tool. The docker-compose.yml file sets up a two container stack to handle static files via nginx, as an example of a "production" style deployment.

docker-compose up

The app is available at http://localhost:8000/
