Fullstack Price Aggregator

UK supermarket price aggregator via web scraping. This was developed for my university project as an MVP so there are aspects which don't function correctly. I may update it in the future.

Features

• Python REST backend via FastAPI
• VueJS Frontend SPA with TypeScript using this template.
• JWT Authentication between backend and frontend
• CLI
• Docker
• Poetry
• Web Scraped prices via selectorlib
• Scrape JavaScript enabled pages using splash

Setup

Ensure you have Docker and Node.js installed.

1. Clone this repository
2. cd into project root and run docker-compose up --build -d. The starts the backend and on first run will build all the necessary containers which can take a few minutes.
3. Once the backend has finished building, obtain a shell with docker-compose exec backend bash.
4. To initialise the database run python manage.py createdb from within the bash shell.
   • (Optional) To seed the db with dummy data run python manage.py seeddb Note all passwords are set to password
5. cd into the client directory run npm install which will install the required node modules.
6. run npm run serve which will serve the client frontend.

CLI

The backend includes a CLI which is heavily inspired by Netflix's Dispatch.

typer (same author as FastAPI) was used to create a CLI for the project and is accessed via manage.py.

To run commands you will need to a shell running inside the backend container with:

docker-compose run backend bash
