Selecto is a Python webproject which makes it easy to filter and search for various products online. With enhanced filtering, we can find the best product for you!

Getting Started

This project is built using tox. This allows us to build in both Unix and Windows enviroments. To run tox, please follow the below instructions:

Environment Variables

We current have two files: web/selecto/resources/dev.env and web/selecto/resources/prod.env which are used to store credentials. Please use the web/selecto/resources/template.env file as an example to produce these two files. Ask the other team members for our creds. We need to use these for testing and deployment for our app.

Setup virtual environment

Here is an example on using venv.

Please up the terminal and naviate to the project root directory. Then run this command to setup your venv environment.
```
python -m venv venv
```
If you are on WINDOWS please run this to activate this venv environment.
```

```
If you are on MACOS/UNIX please run this to activate this venv environment.
```
source venv/bin/activate  # On macOS/Linux
```

Ensure that you have Python and pip installed on your system. If you don't have them installed, download Python from the official website (https://www.python.org/downloads/) and follow the installation instructions for your operating system.
Install tox using pip:
```
pip install tox
```
Run the commands specified in the tox.ini file using the following syntax:
```
