1. Dataset Description

If you love movies, and you love San Francisco, you're bound to love this -- a listing of filming locations of movies shot in San Francisco starting from 1924. You'll find the titles, locations, names of the director, writer, actors, and studio for most of these films.

1.1 Dataset

The initial dataset is taken from https://data.sfgov.org/Culture-and-Recreation/Film-Locations-in-San-Francisco/yitu-d5am

2. Movie shooting location finder

Movie shooting location finder is a web application that displays a list of all movies shooted at a location along with some other details about a movie. It also provides a text search bar for dynamically searching users favourate movies by title.

2.1. Dynamic Search Interface

In this project we build a simple Search bar that searches for movies in JSON file with some prefix dynamically using the Fetch API, Async/Await, Regex and high order array methods.

Note : Movies can only be retrieved if they are available in the dataset.

2.2. Listing all the movies

Here, we loop over the file and we post the titles, locations, names of the director and writer for most of these films. Undefined locations are checked and are ignored from the list.

2.3. Login/ Signup

WTForms are used for Login/ Signup.It is a flexible forms validation and rendering library for Python web development. It can work with any web framework and template engine you choose.

Note : Database for login signup is ignored as currently there is no role of users.

3. Deploying to pythonanywhere
