This is a Image Repository Application that is created using ReactJS, Flask and SQLite as part of Shopify Developer Intern Challenge Question.

Here is my development environment npm 6.14.4, node 10.19.0, Python 3.7.6

1. Clone the repo

git clone [email protected]:mzzchy/shopify_challenge.git
cd shopify_challenge

2. I recommend use Anaconda to create virtual enironemnt before installing it. Here is the instruction

3. Install backend server

pip install .

4. Start the Backend Server

export FLASK_APP=server
export FLASK_ENV=development
flask run

To verify the backend is setup successfully, please go to http://localhost:5000/ and make sure you see welcome to image repo backend.

6. In another terminal, start the Front End

npm install 
npm start

7. Now Go check the image repo on http://localhost:3000/

The frontend is writted by ReactJS and the backend is writted by Python with Flask. All Images is converted to Blob and stored in Sqlite.

1. Upload one/bulk images
2. Show uploaded images in grid
3. Delete one/bulk images (The frontend of Bulk deletion hasn't been implemented but the API is provided)
4. Search by image name
5. Pytest for all api endpoints

1. Set a independent name for uploaded image. (Almost front end)
2. Setup Authorization system to allow user create accounts and mark image as privated or public
3. Lazy load image.

1. Dockerize the repo
2. Using filesystem like AWS S3 to store the images
3. Extract feature of uploaded image and store in database. For image similarity search, using approximate nearest neighbor algorithm to compute get top K similar image.
