Ecommerce backend using django and django rest framework

Python

storefront

Ecommerce backend using django and django rest framework

Setup

The first thing to do is to clone the repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/Bappy4u/storefront.git
$ cd storefront

Create a virtual environment to install dependencies in and activate it:

if you have pipenv installed in your machine

$ pipenv install

It will install a virtual environment for you and will install all the dependencies

Select that environment as your python interpreter

Once you select and run virtual environment that you just installed :

Change Database settings in the settings.py at storefront directory

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
        'NAME': 'mydatabase', # This is where you put the name of the db file. 
                 # If one doesn't exist, it will be created at migration time.
    }
}

To migrate all the settings command this in the terminal

(storefront)$ python manage.py migrate

To check the admin pannel create a super user

(storefront)$ python manage.py createsuperuser

Finally

(storefront)$ python manage.py runserver

And navigate to http://127.0.0.1:8000/

The most challenging part so far

To register models to the admin panel
I added extra functionality to the models in the admin panel ( e.g: Model count, Sort, Link, etc ) Check the file here https://github.com/Bappy4u/storefront/blob/main/store/admin.py

Although there is no front-end yet. But you can walkthrough:

All the functionality in the admin panel by populating some data in the database
