Powerplant coding challenge

This is my submission for the powerplant-coding-challenge. The original README.md was moved to doc/README.md.

Assumptions

This guide assumes that you are working with a Unix command line, and that you have already install Python (minimal version : 3.6)

Setup

Clone the repository from github and enter the project directory:

git clone https://github.com/karimelhajoui63/powerplant-coding-challenge.git

cd powerplant-coding-challenge

Set up a new virtual environment and activate it:

python -m venv .venv

source .venv/bin/activate

Install the minimum requirements:

pip install -r requirements.txt

How to run

Host the server locally:

python src/api.py

The application will start on http://localhost:8888.

Send payload

Open Postman (or every other API testing tool), select a POST request and add the url of the API : http://localhost:8888/productionplan. Copy/Paste your json file contents in the body (choose 'raw' and 'JSON') and hit the Send button. The response json will then be sent back if a solution if possible. If it's not the case, a message indicating that no solution has been found will be returned.

You can also submit a chosen payload by using the following CURL command: curl -X POST -d @test/example_payloads/payload1.json -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://localhost:8888/productionplan

Logging

Every request and every error is logged in log/api.log.
