yak-server 0.44.0

Football bet rest/graphql server

Yak-toto

Requisites

• Ubuntu 22.04
• MySQL 8.0.30

How to build the project

Database

Install and start mysql server on port 3306. Add a database named yak_toto. In root folder, create a dotenv file named .env and fill your MySQL user name, password and database. When backend start, this configuration is automatically loaded.

MYSQL_USER_NAME=my_user_name
MYSQL_PASSWORD=my_password
MYSQL_DB=my_database_name

You can also set MySQL port by adding MYSQL_PORT=my_port to .env file. If not set, it will be 3306 by default.

Backend

Run your project in a Python env is highly recommend. You can use venv python module using the following command:

uv venv
. .venv/bin/activate

Fetch all packages using pip with the following command:

uv pip install -r requirements.txt

Before starting the backend, add JWT_SECRET_KEY and JWT_EXPIRATION_TIME in .env same as the MySQL user name and password. As login system is using JSON Web Token, a secret key is required and an expiration time (in seconds). To generate one, you can use the python built-in secrets module.

>>> import secrets
>>> secrets.token_hex(16)
'9292f79e10ed7ed03ffad66d196217c4'

JWT_SECRET_KEY=9292f79e10ed7ed03ffad66d196217c4
JWT_EXPIRATION_TIME=1800

Also, automatic backup can be done through yak_server/cli/backup_database script. It can be run using yak db backup.

Finally, fastapi needs some configuration to start. Last thing, for development environment, debug needs to be activated with a additional environment variable:

DEBUG=1

And then start backend with:

uvicorn --reload yak_server:create_app --factory

Data initialization

To run local testing, you can use the script create_database.py, initialize_database.py and create_admin.py located in yak_server/cli folder. To select, set COMPETITION environment variable in .env. It will read data from yak_server/data/{COMPETITION}/.

Testing

To set up test, please add a MySQL database named yak_toto_test. It will contain all the records created during unit tests. This database is cleaned everytime you run test. That's why a different database is created to avoid deleting records you use for your local testing.

Yak-server is using pytest to run tests.

Profiling

You can profile by adding this line in the .env

PROFILING=1

Be careful, you need to be in debug mode to activate the profiling. In production mode, adding the environment variable will have no impacts.
