This project generates a JSON API from the history-project content repository. It does that in two steps:

• load: Generate a sqlite database from the source files.
• dump: Use that database to generate a JSON API.

• The API is currently hosted at https://nthp-api.wjdp.uk/v1.
• The specification is available at https://nthp-api.wjdp.uk/v1/master/openapi.json.
• To render the spec into human-readable docs use a tool such as:
  • ReDoc https://redocly.github.io/redoc/?url=https://nthp-api.wjdp.uk/v1/master/openapi.json.
  • Stoplight https://elements-demo.stoplight.io/?spec=https://nthp-api.wjdp.uk/v1/master/openapi.json

• Ensure you have Poetry installed.
• Run poetry install.
• Clone the history project repository into the content/ directory. You can do a shallow clone for this: GIT_LFS_SKIP_SMUDGE=1 git clone --depth 1 --branch master [email protected]:newtheatre/history-project content.
• Run ./nthp load to generate the sqlite database from the content files.
• Run ./nthp dump to generate the API from the database into the dist/ directory.

• With pip installed run pip install --user nthp-api. If you have your local bin folder on your path you should now be able to run nthp.
• Within the history-project repo run nthp load to generate the sqlite database from the content files.
• Run nthp dump to generate the API from the database into the dist/ directory.

Alternatively you can run nthp build to run both steps in one go.

pre-commit hooks are used to lint the source code using Black and ruff

• Ensure you have pre-commit installed.
• Run pre-commit install to install pre-commit hooks.

Run pytest or use the included PyCharm run configuration.

See the bin/release.sh script for the release process. This assumes that your local machine has the correct credentials to publish to PyPi.
