tapichu/highway-maps

Sample application built with Django and Backbone.js

highway-maps

Search highways and draw them on google maps.

Tools

I wanted to play with:

• Django
• Backbone.js
• RequireJS
• Buildout

Setup

• I recommend crating a virtualenv isolated from your system Python:
  • virtualenv --no-site-packages myenv
  • cd myenv
  • source bin/activate (to activate the sandbox)
  • deactivate (to leave the sandbox)
• Clone this repository: git clone [URL]
• Change directory: cd highway-maps
• Bootstrap buildout: python bootstrap.py
• Run buildout: ./bin/buildout

Running the application

• Create the database tables: ./bin/django syncdb (create an admin user when prompted)
• Populate the database: ./bin/django loaddata devel
• Start the development server: ./bin/django runserver

URLs

• Django's admin (CRUD operations on the models): http://localhost:8000/admin
• Sample application built with backbone.js: http://localhost:8000/carreteras

You might want to try some states with data like:

• Tamaulipas.
• Guerrero.
• Hidalgo.
• Mexico.
• Morelos.
• Nuevo León.
• San Luis Potosí.
