Date Calculator

This is a dedicated date calculator made for a scientific experiment.

Usage

Shell Version

Use docker to run the shell version, please ensure you have docker installed and started.

Firstly, build the image:

make build_shell

and then you can run the shell interface for the calculator:

make run_shell

now you can start to play with the calculator. Input the following command and you will see the result:

/code/examples/shell # python calculator.py "2/3/2020" "5/3/2020"
2/3/2020 - 5/3/2020 = 2 days

the default format is %d/%m/%Y, you can also specify a date format by using --fmt to use a different format.

API Version

We also use docker to run the API version, please ensure you have docker installed and started.

Firstly, build the image:

make build_api

and then you can run the api server for the calculator:

make run_api

now you can start to play with the API version calculator by accessing http://localhost:8089 in your browser.

Tests

Test the scidate library

You can run the docker to test the scidate library:

make test_scidate

It will show test result together with coverage.

Test the command-line tool

You can go into the examples/shell directory, you can find a requirements_test.txt file. In order to run the unit tests, you can do:

python -m venv venv
. venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements_test.txt
python -m unittest

Test the API version of the calculator

Similar to the command-line tool, you can go into the examples/api directory, and you can find a requirements_test.txt file. Execute the following command to run the unit tests:

python -m venv venv
. venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements_test.txt
