# Developer Tools Web Application
This is a Flask web application that provides various developer tools including a Diff Viewer, JSON Validator, Regex Checker, and Regex Generator.
## Features
### JSON Tools
- **Validator:** Validate JSON format and against schema
- **Schema Generator:** Generate schema from JSON input
- **Sample Data Generator:** Create sample data from schema
- **JSON-String Converter:** Convert between JSON object and string
- **Parser:** Beautify and format JSON
### RegEx Tools
- **Checker:** Validate strings against regular expressions
- **Generator:** Generate regex patterns for common formats
### String Tools
- **Character/Word Counter:** Count chars/words/lines, supports custom delimiters
- **Column Extractor:** Extract specific columns from delimited text
- **Text Cleaner:** Clean and format text
- **Text Statistics:** Generate text metrics
- **Diff Viewer:** Compare text and visualize differences
- **Random Generators:** Generate random numbers and strings
- **Shuffle Letters:** Randomize text characters
### Data Generation
- **Fake Data Generator:** Generate sample datasets (up to 1000 records)
- Categories: Personal, Professional, Vehicle, Technical
- Export to JSON/CSV
- Customizable fields and data types
### Document Tools
- **Markdown/PDF Converter:** Convert between Markdown and PDF formats
- Preserves formatting and structure
- Supports headings, lists, code blocks
- Both MD to PDF and PDF to MD conversion
### Time & Scheduling
- **Time Converter:** Convert between various time formats (ISO/EPOCH)
- **CRON Scheduler:** Create CRON expressions visually
### Encoding Tools
- **Base64 Encoder/Decoder:** Convert to/from base64
- **JWT Viewer:** Decode and view JWT tokens
## Installation
1. Clone this repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/vib795/everyday-developer-tools.git
```
2. Navigate to the project directory:
```bash
cd developer-tools
```
3. Install dependencies using pip:
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
## Usage
1. Run the Flask application using the branch flask-app:
```bash
flask run
```
2. Open a web browser and navigate to [http://localhost:5000](http://localhost:5000).
3. Choose a tool from the navigation menu on the left.
## Production Deployment with Docker, Gunicorn, and Nginx
### Dockerized Approach
For deploying the application in a containerized environment with Docker, ensuring scalability and ease of deployment:
1. **Build and Deploy with Docker Compose:**
_Dev build_
```bash
docker-compose -f docker-compose-dev.yml up --build
```
OR
_Deployable build_
```bash
docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml up --build
```
This command builds the Docker images and starts the containers as defined in the `docker-compose.yml` file.
2. **Running a Pre-Built Container:**
```bash
docker run -p 5000:5000 utkarshsingh/developer-tools-dev:latest
```
### Making the Application HTTPS Compliant
To secure the application with HTTPS, follow these steps:
1. **Generate SSL/TLS Certificates:**
For local testing, generate a self-signed SSL certificate:
```bash
mkdir -p certs && cd certs
openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout nginx-selfsigned.key -out nginx-selfsigned.crt
```
For production, obtain certificates from Let's Encrypt or another CA.
2. **Configure Nginx for HTTPS:**
Update `nginx/nginx.conf` to include the SSL certificate and key, and configure Nginx to listen on HTTPS:
```nginx
server {
listen 443 ssl;
server_name localhost; # Update to your domain for production
ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/certs/nginx-selfsigned.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/certs/nginx-selfsigned.key;
# SSL configuration...
location / {
proxy_pass http://web:5000;
# Proxy settings...
}
}
```
Update docker-compose.yml to mount the certificates directory into the Nginx container.
3. **To pull from Docker hub (dev build):**
```bash
docker pull utkarshsingh/developer-tools-dev:latest
```
### Why and How of Nginx and Gunicorn
- **Nginx:** Acts as a reverse proxy, handling client requests efficiently before passing them to Gunicorn. It's also responsible for SSL/TLS termination, providing HTTPS support.
- **Gunicorn:** A WSGI HTTP Server for serving Flask applications in production, offering a robust option to handle concurrent requests.
### Redis for rate limiting
- We are using redis to rate limit the site to avoid DDoS or ReDoS attacks.
- This is installed as part of the docker image but you can do it manually as well, if you are running the flask app manually.
- This installs redis on an ubuntu server and checks for its status.
```bash
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install redis-server -y && sudo systemctl status redis
```
- Check status of redis server:
```bash
redis-cli ping
```
You should receive `PONG` back.
- Install Redis python library
```bash
pip install redis
```
This should set the app to be configured with redis and ready to use. Now you can run `flask app.py` and everything should work fine without docker intervention.
