About

This is a Django web application that utilises HTML data attributes to implement dynamic formset management and is designed to allow the students of Selly Oak to create and share recipes.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

An installation of Python version 3.5 or later is required to run the Django site locally.

Installation

Clone the source from this repository.

git clone https://github.com/martindes01/bellyoak.git
cd bellyoak

Create and activate a Python virtual environment, specifying a suitable path <path>. A common name for the environment directory is .venv.

python3 -m venv <path>
source <path>/Scripts/activate

Install the Python dependencies listed in requirements.txt.

pip install --requirement requirements.txt

Usage

To create or update the database, execute the makemigrations and migrate commands of the manage.py script. These commands create schema migrations based on changes to the models and apply these migrations to the database, respectively.

python3 manage.py makemigrations
python3 manage.py migrate

To run the site locally, execute the runserver command of the manage.py script, optionally specifying the local IP address <address> and port number <port>. This will serve the site to <address>:<port>. If unspecified, <address> defaults to localhost and <port> defaults to 8000.

python3 manage.py runserver [[<address>:]<port>]

To populate the database with sample data, run the populate_bellyoak.py script.

python3 populate_bellyoak.py

To manage the database, execute the createsuperuser command of the manage.py script and follow the prompts. This will create a superuser account with access to the administration interface at <address>:<port>/admin/.

python3 manage.py createsuperuser
