Currency converter

Project currency converter

This is a simple currency converter written in Python 3.6.

Requisites:

• Python 3.6
• pip
• Flask framework
• xmltodict pip module
• flask_session pip module

Steps for running this application:

• install Python
• install pip
• install virtualenv sudo pip3 install virtualenv (in Linux environment)
• create application environment virtualenv convert_currencies
• install Flask framework pip install Flask
• change environment to convert_currencies development environment source bin/activate
• install xmltodict from pip sudo pip install xmltodict
• install flask_session from pip sudo pip install flask_session
• export environment variable FLASK_APP export FLASK_APP=application.py
• launch Flask framework flask run

At this point, we can send our requests via GET method convert:

• open a browser (or equivalent, via wget or curl)

• write the request with your desired parameters: http://localhost:5000/convert/<:amount>/<:source_currency>/<:destination_currency>/<:reference_date>

  for example:

  http://localhost:5000/convert/3.00/EUR/GBP/2019-01-24

Important: exchange rates are dinamically loaded every project startup (flask run) and are stored in Flask sessions
