pip install -r requirements/dev.txt
# Create environment variables file, edit as needed
cp .env.example .env

If you just need the API, you can run
flask run
## Deployment
To deploy
export FLASK_ENV=production
export FLASK_DEBUG=0
export DATABASE_URL="<YOUR DATABASE URL>"
flask run # start the flask server
In your production environment, make sure the ``FLASK_DEBUG`` environment
variable is unset or is set to ``0``.
## Shell
To open the interactive shell, run
flask shell
By default, you will have access to the flask ``app``.
## Running Tests
To run all tests, run
flask test
## Migrations
Whenever a database migration needs to be made. Run the following commands
flask db migrate
This will generate a new migration script. Then run
flask db upgrade
To apply the migration.
For a full migration command reference, run ``flask db --help``.
## Commands
To create a proposal, run
flask create_proposal "FUNDING_REQUIRED" 1 123 "My Awesome Proposal" "### Hi! I have a great proposal"
## External Services
To decode EIP-712 signed messages, a Grant.io deployed service was created `https://eip-712.herokuapp.com`.
To adjust this endpoint, simply export `AUTH_URL` with a new endpoint value:
export AUTH_URL=http://new-endpoint.com
To learn more about this auth service, you can visit the repo [here](https://github.com/grant-project/eip-712-server).
