Video Storing Platform Readme

Project Overview

This repository hosts the source code for a straightforward Video Storing Platform. The platform is divided into two major components:

  • Backend: Developed using Django Rest Framework, this component handles the server-side logic, database management, and API endpoints for video management.

  • Frontend: Built with Vue.js, this part of the project provides a user-friendly interface for uploading, viewing, and managing videos on the platform.

  • backend/ contains the Django backend code for managing video data, authentication, and API endpoints. It also includes a requirements.txt file, listing the required Python packages and dependencies for the backend.

  • frontend/ comprises the Vue.js frontend code for creating an interactive and engaging user interface for the Video Storing Platform.

Installation

To set up and run the project, follow these steps:

Backend (Django)

  1. Navigate to the backend/ directory:

    cd backend

  2. Create a virtual environment (recommended) and activate it:

    python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

  3. Install the required Python packages from the requirements.txt file:

    pip install -r requirements.txt

  4. Do not forget to add .env file - these are the environment variables you should have:

    JWT_SECRET = add here
JWT_ALGORITHM = add here
DB_USERNAME = add here
DB_PASSWORD = add here
DB_HOST =  add here
DB_PORT = add here
DB_NAME = add here

  5. Run migrations to set up the database:

    python manage.py migrate

  6. Start the Django development server:

    python manage.py runserver

The Django backend should now be accessible at http://localhost:8000/.

Frontend (Vue.js)

  1. Navigate to the frontend/ directory: 
    python manage.py runserver
  2. Make sure you have Node.js and npm installed on your system.
  3. Install the required frontend dependencies: 
    npm install
  4. Start the Vue.js development server: 
    npm run serve

The Vue.js frontend should now be accessible at http://localhost:8080/.
