Examples

micawber comes with a handful of examples showing usage with

Django example

The django example is very simple – it illustrates a single view that renders text inputted by the user by piping it through the oembed() filter. It also shows the output of the extract_oembed() filter which returns a 2-tuple of URL -> metadata. There is also an input where you can experiment with entering HTML.

To run the example:

cd examples/django_ex/
./manage.py runserver

Check out the example source code.

Flask example

The flask example is almost identical in terms of functionality to the django example. It shows a one-file app with a single view that renders text inputted by the user by piping it through the oembed() filter. It also shows the output of the extract_oembed() filter which returns a 2-tuple of URL -> metadata. There is also an input where you can experiment with entering HTML.

To run the example:

cd examples/flask_ex/
python app.py

Check out the example source code.

Python example

The python example is a command-line app that shows the use of the micawber.providers.ProviderRegistry and micawber.providers.bootstrap_embedly. It runs a loop asking the user to input URLs, outputting rich metadata when possible (view http://embed.ly for a full list of providers).

To run the example:

cd examples/python_ex/
