CoderBot is a RaspberryPI-based programmable robot for educational purposes. Check the project website for more information.

For further information about development and technical documentation, see the Wiki.

This repository contains the backend, exposing the CoderBot API.

Prerequisites:

sudo apt install python3 python3-venv

Be sure you have Python 3.6. You may need to use python3.6 and python3.6-venv packages on some repositories with python3 already pointing to 3.7 (e.g. debian unstable/sid).

git clone https://github.com/CoderBotOrg/coderbot.git
cd coderbot
python3 -m venv .
source bin/activate

# Install the basic requirements
pip3 install -r requirements_stub.txt
# Additional packages if you are running the real thing
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

# Start the backend in stub mode
PYTHONPATH=stub:test python3 init.py

# or, run the real thing if you're on a physical RPi
python3 init.py

Once started, the backend will expose a number of endpoints:

• Legacy API: localhost:5000/<LEGACY_METHOD>;
• Legacy JQuery web application: localhost:5000/old;
• API v2: localhost:5000/v2;
• New Vue web application: localhost:5000/ (assuming a vue-app build is placed in the dist/ folder);
• Documentation: localhost:5000/docs assuming a docs build is placed in the cb_docs/ folder);
• Swagger UI dynamic documentation of the API v2: localhost:5000/v2/ui/index.html (once you cloned the swagger-ui repository inside the backend folder).
