THis is a django api to get the closest point from what you input

• First install django and other setup requirements.

• Then clone the application using git clone [email protected]:Stephen-Kamau/ClosestPoint.git

• AFter cloning, cd ClosestPoint and then python manage.py makemigrations then python manage.py migrate

• The above will run migratiosn.

• YOu will then need to run it using python manage.py runserver as it will expose port 8000 by default and can be accessed via http methods.

• The app has a single endpoint whcih can either be post or get.

• The endpoint is api/v1/points

• An example (Assuming you application is running on localhost).

• You can use curl to do requests (Or any other client that you use..).

  1. Make a post request with points such as 2,2;-1,30;0,2

     • We do the following curl -X POST -d "points=2,2;-1,30;0,2" http://localhost:8000/api/v1/points
     • THe results will be

     {"message": "Points and closest points saved successfully.", "inputs": "2,2;-1,30;0,2", "solution": "2,2;0,2"}
     

     • Here is the sample

     • 

     • If the point has not been formated well, an error will be thrown instead.

  2. To get all points and their closest points that are saved, we do the following.

     • curl -X GET http://localhost:8000/api/v1/points It will return a list of objects with the points and their calculated values/
