Python and MongoDB

Hard Prerequisites
  • TOPICS: MongoDB and Python

    • Create a docker composition which will run mongodb. You will be connecting to this container while developing. Be sure to commit your composition to your repo.

    Also: DO NOT hardcode your connection configuration into your Python code. Use environmental valiables. Eg: MONGO_HOST = os.getenv("MONGO_HOST","localhost"). Make sure you understand why this is a good idea.

    Instructions

    You are required to create a back-end service that will help capture basic information about prospective students who come to inquire here at Umuzi.

    1. Create a database and name it UmuziProspects
    2. Create a collection inside the database and name it Visiter.

    • visitor name
    • visitor’s age
    • date of visit
    • time of visit
    • name of the person who assisted the visitor
    • comments

    functionality

    Create a single index script with the following functions:

    • create_visitor. This should save the Visitor into the database
    • list_visitors This should return an array of all the visitor names and ids
    • delete_visitor
    • update_visitor
