About The Project

Built With

The list of frameworks, core libraries and software used in this project:

• FastAPI - framework on top of which Hikka is build uppon
• SQLAlchemy - library to interact with our database
• Alembic - tool for database migrations
• APScheduler - task scheduling library
• PostgreSQL - our main database software
• meilisearch - software for robust typo tolerant text search
• pytest - helps us write better programs

And more!

Getting Started

In order to get Hikka up and running on your local machine you must follow this steps.

Prerequisites

This guide assumes you already have PostgreSQL installed and database named hikka created. For development you would also need Poetry.

Optionally you also need to install Meilisearch 1.4.2 to work with search. Please note this exact version must be installed because newer versions most likely contain API breaking changes.

Installation

1. Clone this repository and enter project directory:

   git clone https://github.com/volbil/hikka.git
   cd hikka

2. Create virtual environment and install dependencies using Poetry:

   poetry shell
   poetry install

3. Create alembic.ini and settings.toml files in project root directory, example configs can be found in docs/. Make sure to update database endpoint since this is crucial for moving forward. We also suggest creating empty database for runnign tests and specifying it in settings.toml testing section.
4. Update database to latest migration (keep in mind that migraiton id here might be outdated by now and you should always check alembic/versions/ for latest migration):

   alembic upgrade 0c8a96ac77c9

5. Enable ltree extension in PostgreSQL by running (we need it for comments logic):

   CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS ltree;

6. Now let's run tests to make sure everything is setup properly:

   pytest

7. If tests from previous step completed without any issues - congrats, now you can launch Hikka backend locally:

   uvicorn run:app --reload --port=8888
