Getting Started

1. Clone the repository
2. Enter the project's directory and edit the .env file as follows

APP_NAME=ModzyHack
ENV=development

SECRET_KEY=supersecretkey
ALGORITHM=HS256
TOKEN_EXPIRE_MINUTES=60

MONGODB_URL=uri of a running mongo instance (eg. mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/?retryWrites=true&w=majority)
DATABASE=mongodb database to use

4. Run pip install -r requirements (Make sure that you have Python <= 3.8 and pip before running this command)
5. Run uvicorn main:app --host=0.0.0.0 --port=${PORT:-8000}

You should have your backend up and running at http://localhost:8000. You can see the SwaggerUI API documentation of the backend at this link

Note: If you deploy to heroku, you need to add soundfile library package for voice recognition to work. To do so, add the apt buildpack and it will look at Aptfile in the project to install necessary libraries.
