Polls API

This is a Python implementation of a Polls API, an API that allows consumers to view polls and vote in them. Take a look at the API Documentation. We've deployed an instance of this API for testing.

Development Environment

You can configure a development environment with the following:

NOTE: These steps assume you have Python along with pipenv installed.

$ pipenv install
$ pipenv run python manage.py migrate

Running the tests

$ python manage.py test

Running the development server

$ pipenv run python manage.py runserver

Running dredd

Providing dredd has been installed, you can run the following to run dredd against the Polls API:

$ pipenv run dredd

Running via docker

Running the development server

$ docker-compose up web
$ open "http://$(docker-machine ip default):8080"

Running tests in Docker

$ docker-compose run shell python manage.py test

Deploying

Deploying on Heroku
