Birthday Lab

You will be creating a website that takes in a user's birthday and returns information based on that birthday.

MVP 1: Birthstone

At this stage, the user should be able to input their name and birthday into a form and get back the birthstone that matches their birthday. It should also adhere to the following specifications:

1. Your index.html page should be formatted with bootstrap using the forms component and your results.html page should be formatted using bootstrap.
2. The results.html page should include an image and description of the right gem, the name of the person. The images of each gem for each month can be found in the static/img folder and were taken from this website.
3. In your model.py, use the datetime library to help parse the date input you get from the form. You should define a function to the tune of get_birthstone(date_string) that returns the birthstone given a particular date.

MVP 2: Holidays

Add another input that asks what country they are from. Then, install and use the python holidays library to tell the user about all holidays that fall on their birthday and are observed in their country. It should follow these specifications:

1. The form should use a dropdown input. This will ensure that you'll always get nicely formatted country inputs that work with the holidays library. You should include at least 10 different countries in that dropdown input.
2. The additional result retrieved from page should be properly formatted using bootstrap, and should also support a display message that says something like "no holidays on your birthday" if none are found.
3. In your model.py, you should define a function to the tune of get_holidays(date_string) that returns a list of all holidays on that particular date.

MVP 3: GIPHY API

Use any/all of their inputted information to return several gifs (i.e related to their birthstone, holidays on that day, ) using the GIPHY API and the requests library from flask on the results.html page. Feel free to ask the user for extra inputs in the form to help with the gif searching. It should also adhere to the following specifications:

1. The giphy image results should be properly formatted with bootstrap grid (and in a carousel if you want to make things harder! :))) )
2. In your model.py, you should define a function to the tune of make_img_tag(gif_obj) that takes in a gif object (which is what the GIPHY API returns) and returns a string representation of an image tag that includes a proper src and alt attribute.
3. You should also account for the chance that no images from giphy were found and should also filter out gifs with a rating of r.

MVP 4: Your Own Addition

Add something else that uses inputs about user information! Feel free to look up APIs/python libraries that you'd like to use. Here are some ideas:

• The highest valued publicly traded stock on their birthday
• A list of companies founded the year they were born
• A list of companies that went bankrupt the year they were born
• Their horoscope
• Celebrity birthdays that fall on their birthday
• Free food/deals on their birthday
