This is the API layer and frontend web application. The API is a django project
held within the perfectvenue folder. The frontend is built in React and is
held within the app folder.
API Development
In order to run the API on your local computer. You'll need to clone the source
code to a folder on your folder on your computer, create a virtual enviroment,
install all dependecies, add your settings.py file, create your MySQL database,
and finally run the django server.
Run the following in a Terminal:
git clone https://github.com/adaro/perfectvenue.gitcd perfectvenue/virtualenv venvsource venv/bin/activatepip install -r perfectvenue/requirements.txt
Create your MySQL database:
mysql -p
CREATE DATABASE perfectvenuedb;
Create settings.py file and add your username/password to the settings.py file under DATABASES lines 129 and 130. (FYI, these lines are subject to change as we add to settings.py)
(WARNING: settings.py should be kept in a secure location. NEVER check into Git)
Now back in the terminal, migrate the database and create your Admin user and run the server:
python perfectvenue/manage.py migratepython perfectvenue/manage.py createsuperuserpython perfectvenue/manage.py runserver
That's it! You can now view the Admin dashboard by navigating to: http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/
App Development
In order to run the frontend React application you'll need to have node and NPM install onto your machine.
Go here to install: https://www.npmjs.com/get-npm. After you've install you'll need to clone the source code, install dependencies and
run the server.
Run the following in a Terminal:
git clone https://github.com/adaro/perfectvenue.gitcd perfectvenue/app/npm installnpm start
That's it!
