Playground

In playground/ folder there is a flask based application used as playground. In order to setup and run playground, use following commands:

$ cd playground
$ virtualenv .venv -p /usr/bin/python3.7
$ source .venv/bin/activate
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ cd ..
$ make run

Playground flask app provides couple of extra features to simulate more realistic scenarios - like slower server responses.

To slow down all server side responses with two seconds, start playground using following command:

$ cd playground
$ python index.py --delay 2  # delays all server side responses with 2 seconds

To slow down server side responses with one second AND disable browser's assets cache (browsers try to very hard to cache static assets) use command:

$ cd playground
$ python index.py --delay 1 --no-cache

Start playground on port 5002:

$ cd playground
$ python index.py --port 5002

For all options:

$ cd playground
$ python index.py --help
