gotofasalfront is an open source code that makes it easy to search movies and collect the fav movie cards.

Website Link: Movie Cards website

Licence: MIT

• Visit https://github.com/webbdays/gotofasalfront and get the latest source code
• Install the python dependencies with poetry or pip
• cd to root directory and Run flask app with the command flask run
• Grab the displayed url like for example (localhost:3000) and open in the browser and one can then see the website running there.

• User need to register (verify their email) and login.
• Loggined user can perform movie search and collect fav cards.
• Users fav cards are displayed in the profile page.
• Search functionality is based on the api from OMDB

• Programming languages Used: Python, JavaScript, HTML, little bit CSS
• API is implemented via flask routes (But, I have initially implemented the api in golang, here it is: https://github.com/webbdays/gotofasal)
• Authentication(Login): Using Email, Password. (Not sure whether its is secure or not right now. Need to analyse in deep for any security issues.)
• For subsequent authentication after login, JWT tokens are used with expiry set to around 30 min as of now.
• Auth packages: Used bcrypt (for password hashing), pyjwt (for jwt token encoding and decoding).
• Database : Used Mongodb. To store user data like credentials and fav movies. Reason: Seems obvious for website data that was being handled.
• Host : Hosted on vercel. Website Link: Movie Cards website

• Used pythons asyncio module to make async requests to the OMDB api.
• This helps in avoiding blockage of the python script to perform next request.
• As a result webpage loads relatively fast.

• Thanks for the api
