SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The Chuuk Dictionary backend requires a scalable, secure Flask API to manage publications, user authentication, and data workflows for OCR-derived dictionary content.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Authentication & Access Control: Secure user login and role-based access to dictionary endpoints.
  • CRUD for dictionary entries: Create, read, update, and delete Chuukese dictionary entries with validation.
  • Publication & Upload Support: Manage dictionary publications and file uploads for OCR processing.
  • Deployment Ready: Patterns for production deployment with Gunicorn/UWSGI and environment-driven configuration.
  • Example use case: An admin creates a new dictionary entry and uploads a page PDF for OCR processing.

Quick Start

Install dependencies and run the app locally:

  • Create a Python virtual environment.
  • Install requirements with pip install -r requirements.txt.
  • Run the app with gunicorn or python app.py.
  • Access API at http://localhost:8000/api/
