In my opinion, this is a nice cross-techiques project :
This project was created for studying purpose, to train these tools :
- manipulating REST API, with the help of the `requests` package
- connecting a `MySQL` DB with the help of the `PyMySQL` package
- working on a (local) `MariaDB` server with the help of the `MySQL` client `mycli`
- manipulating [Open Food Facts `REST API`][9] with [`Requests`][6]
- connecting a `MySQL` DB with [`PyMySQL`][7]
- using a [`MariaDB`][8] server with a `MySQL` CLI (`mycli`)
- creating an interactive script

The project is hosted on [github][5].
### Workflow
- plan the work : features, scripts, tool needed
- creates issues for each autonomous package
- organize it all in a table
- write documentation, as text & (doc)test
- writes code
- plan the work : features, scripts, files, functions tool needed
- create `features`, grouped in autonomous packages
- organize `features` in a _kanban_ type table
- write documentation, as text & [`doctest`][3]
- write code
### Code construction

1. take in hand the necessary tools
2. get started with some the basic features/tools
3. then add more specificdetailed fonctionalities
3. finally add more specific detailed functionalities
Concretely this is expressed by :
Concretely :
- familiarize myself with the data stored in the DB (playing with the CSV file)
- use the API in a basic way (see `get_product()` function)
- imagine the main SQL queries
- using PyMySQL in a basic way
- use `PyMySQL` in a basic way
- create an interface object with the DB
- create the script interfacing the API and the DB
- creation of the DB client used by the client
- create the DB CLI used by the user
### Code organisation
### Code organization
- `config.py` : configuration
- `cli.py` : the user interface script
- `cli.py` : user interface script
- `db.py` : DB class used by all scripts
- `function.py` : files with functions used by all scripts
- `populate-db.py` : backoffice script used to populate DB using API
- `create-db-loff.sql` : backoffice script used to creates local (empty) DB
- `populate-db.py` : back-office script used to populate DB using API
- `create-db-loff.sql` : back-office script used to creates local (empty) DB
- `doc` : documentation folder
- `legacy-sql` : first SQL manipulations (just for memories)
- `sample` : OpenFF JSON category & product files (to work offline and lower API usage)
- `requirements.txt` : _as itself_
- `LICENSE` : _as itself_
- `README.md` : _as itself_
- `.gitignore` : _as itself_
- `sample` : _Open Food Facts_ category & product JSON files (to work offline and lower API usage)

#### Stay in the scope
Not easy to settle for initial specifications that can be interpreted. Similarly for the levels of detail, it is easy to get caught up in a design where they are places for evolutions/new features.
Not easy to frame initial specifications that have a part of interpretation. Similarly for the levels of details, it is easy to slip into a design where they are places for evolution and/or new features.
