Fyyur

Introduction

Fyyur is a musical venue and artist booking site that facilitates the discovery and bookings of shows between local performing artists and venues. This site lets you list new artists and venues, discover them, and list shows with artists as a venue owner.

We want Fyyur to be the next new platform that artists and musical venues can use to find each other, and discover new music shows.

Tech Stack

Our tech stack will include:

• SQLAlchemy ORM to be our ORM library of choice
• PostgreSQL as our database of choice
• Python3 and Flask as our server language and server framework
• Flask-Migrate for creating and running schema migrations
• HTML, CSS, and Javascript with Bootstrap 3 for our website's frontend

Main Files: Project Structure

├── README.md
├── app.py *** the main driver of the app. 
                  "python app.py" to run after installing dependences
├── config.py *** Database URLs, CSRF generation, etc
├── error.log
├── forms.py *** Your forms
├── models.py  *** Your SQL Alchemy models
├── requirements.txt *** The dependencies we need to install with "pip3 install -r requirements.txt"

Overall:

• Models are located in models.py.
• Controllers are located in app.py.
• The web frontend is located in templates/, which builds static assets deployed to the web server at static/.
• Web forms for creating data are located in form.py

Highlight folders:

• templates/pages -- Defines the pages that are rendered to the site. These templates render views based on data passed into the template’s view, in the controllers defined in app.py. These pages successfully represent the data to the user, and are already defined for you.
• templates/layouts -- Defines the layout that a page can be contained in to define footer and header code for a given page.
• templates/forms -- Defines the forms used to create new artists, shows, and venues.
• app.py -- Defines routes that match the user’s URL, and controllers which handle data and renders views to the user. This is the main file you will be working on to connect to and manipulate the database and render views with data to the user, based on the URL.
• models.py -- Defines the data models that set up the database tables.
• config.py -- Stores configuration variables and instructions, separate from the main application code. This is where you will need to connect to the database.

Stand Out

Looking to go above and beyond? This is the right section for you! Here are some challenges to make your submission stand out:

• Implement artist availability. An artist can list available times that they can be booked. Restrict venues from being able to create shows with artists during a show time that is outside of their availability.
• Show Recent Listed Artists and Recently Listed Venues on the homepage, returning results for Artists and Venues sorting by newly created. Limit to the 10 most recently listed items.
• Implement Search Artists by City and State, and Search Venues by City and State. Searching by "San Francisco, CA" should return all artists or venues in San Francisco, CA.

Best of luck in your final project! Fyyur depends on you!
