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.

You can configure a development environment with the following:

NOTE: These steps assume you have Python along with pip and virtualenv installed.

$ virtualenv venv
$ source venv/bin/activate
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ python manage.py migrate

$ python manage.py test

$ python manage.py runserver

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

$ ./scripts/dredd

Click the button below to automatically set up the Polls API in an app running on your Heroku account.

Once you've deployed, you can easily clone the application and alter the configuration to disable features:

$ heroku clone -a new-app-name
$ heroku config:set POLLS_CAN_VOTE_QUESTION=false
$ heroku config:set POLLS_CAN_CREATE_QUESTION=false
$ heroku config:set POLLS_CAN_DELETE_QUESTION=false

If you'd like to, you may use Docker on Heroku instead.

Requirements:

• docker-machine
• docker-compose

heroku plugins:install heroku-docker`

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

docker-compose run shell python manage.py test

heroku docker:release
