This repository contains a simple Flask application that converts temperatures from Celsius to Fahrenheit. It provides a REST API for POST requests with JSON payloads and serves an HTML page for GET requests.

Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed:

• Python 3.10 or later

• Git

• Heroku CLI

1. Clone the repository to your local machine:

   git clone <repository-url>
   cd <repository-directory>
   

2. Create a virtual environment and activate it:

   • Windows:

     python -m venv venv
     venv\Scripts\activate
     

   • Linux:

     python3 -m venv venv
     source venv/bin/activate
     

3. Install the required Python packages:

   pip install Flask gunicorn
   

4. Run the application locally:

   python app.py
   

   Visit http://127.0.0.1:5000/ in your browser to view the app.

1. Log in to Heroku:

   heroku login
   

2. Initialize a Git repository (if you haven't already):

   git init
   heroku git:remote -a <your-heroku-app-name>
   

3. Create a Procfile in the root directory of your application with the following content:

   web: gunicorn -b 0.0.0.0:$PORT app:app   
   

4. Create a requirements.txt file (if you haven't already) with all the necessary Python packages:

   Flask
   gunicorn
   

5. Add and commit your changes to Git:

   git add .
   git commit -am "commit"
   

6. Deploy your application to Heroku:

   heroku push heroku master
   

7. Ensure that at least one instance of the app is running:

   heroku ps:scale web=1
   

8. Open your application in the browser:

   heroku open
   

If you face any error or want to check the logs:

heroku logs --tail  

To ensure the Flask Temperature Converter app functions correctly, it's important to run unit tests. Follow these steps to execute the tests using the test_app.py script:

1. Ensure prerequisites are installed: Make sure Python 3.10 or later is installed on your system, and all dependencies for the Flask app are satisfied.

2. Navigate to your project directory: Open a terminal and change to the directory containing your Flask application and the test_app.py file.

3. Execute the test script: Run the following command in the terminal:

python test_app.py

This command will run all unit tests defined in the test_app.py file.

4. Review the test results: After the tests have finished, the terminal will display the results, showing which tests passed and which failed, if any.
