Project Description

This project has several routes that help a user input movies into the database, visualize ratings for a genre of movies, and look at top rated movies in the database.

How to run

1. install all requirements with pip install -r requirements.txt
2. then you should run with python 507project_tools.py runserver
3. follow the Flask app routes as written below to get to each page

How to use

1. Follow the routes to get to each part of the application - links to most routes are in the index, or explained in the index.
2. To input movies, you must still use the route from Project 3.
3. After some movies are added, the other links will be more useful (all movies, all directors, top movies, ratings visualized)

Routes in this application

• / -> the index, where you can click on links to (newly added for Final Project)
• /all_movies -> a list of all movies in database, part of Project 3
• /all_directors -> a list of all directors in database, part of Project 3
• /top_movies -> this route lists all movies that have an imdb rating of 8 or above, newly added for Final Project
• /ratings/visualized -> this route shows a histogram with the distribution of ratings within the database, newly added for Final Project
• /movie/new/<title>/<genre>/<director>/<rating> -> takes an input to add a movie to the database, part of Project 3.

How to run tests

1. First install requirements.txt
2. Run the SI507project_tests.py

In this repository:

• templates
  • index.html
  • all_movies.html
  • all_directors.html
  • forms.html
• SI507project_tools.py
• SI507project_tests.py
