openregister-flask

A single flask application intended for prototyping registers.

Databases and other configuration

Registers are stored in MongoDB but can this be changed on a per-register basis to use one of the other stores supported by the openregister-python package by changing the config.py file or setting environment variables in environment.sh, your ~/.profile, Heroku configuration etc.

Virtual environment

We recommend using a Python virtual environment:

$ mkvirtualenv -p python3 myproject
$ workon myproject

Package dependencies

$ make init

Running

$ make test
$ make server

Supporting multiple registers

Each register is served on its own dedicated host, so you will need to add a hostname for each register in your /etc/hosts file, eg:

127.0.0.1 field.openregister.dev register.openregister.dev datatype.openregister.dev foo.openregister.dev

Alternatively you can setup DNS on your machine to resolve *.dev to localhost. On Mac OS X you can use DNSMasq

You should now be able to open http://field.openregister.dev:8000/ in a browser.
