About The Project

Message in a Bottle is an application where users can discover stories about the communities around them. This app was designed as a way to interact with cities, neighborhoods, and the people that inhabit them. The Message in a Bottle backend is built with a Django framework that stores story and user data through PostgreSQL. We expose this data to our frontend team to build out the user interface.

Learning Goals

  • Building a RESTful API with a Python Django backend
  • Collaborating with a Front-End dev team
  • Geolocation calls and tracking
  • Applying best practices learned during Turing to a new language and framework
    • e.g. TDD, OOP, REST, MVC(Rails) <--> MTV(Django)
  • Making use of the git rebase workflow

Local Set Up

  1. To clone and run this application, you'll need Python 3.9.7 and Django 3.2.8. Using the official Python docs, follow instructions to install python3 for your local OS.

  2. You can check for a successful installation using this command:

$ python3 -V
> Python 3.9.7

Installation

  1. Fork this repo
  2. Clone your new repo:
git clone https://github.com/MIBFB-COLLAB/message_in_a_bottle_backend.git
  1. Create and Invoke your virtual environment:
python3 -m virtualenv venv
source venv/bin/activate
  1. Install dependencies:
(venv) python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
  1. Set up the database:
$ psql

CREATE DATABASE <project name>;
CREATE USER <user name> WITH PASSWORD <password>;
ALTER ROLE <user name> SET client_encoding TO 'utf8';
ALTER ROLE <user name> SET default_transaction_isolation TO 'read committed';
ALTER ROLE <user name> SET timezone TO 'UTC';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE <project name> TO <user name>;
\q
  1. Add PostgreSQL database info to settings.py file:
DATABASES = {
  'default': {
      'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2',
      'NAME': '
   
    '
   ,
      'USER': '
   
    '
   ,
      'PASSWORD': '
   
    '

    '
   ,
      'PORT': '
   
    '
   ,
  }
}
  1. Migrate database:
(venv) python manage.py makemigrations
(venv) python manage.py migrate
  1. Update CORS allowed origins in settings.py. Domains currently allowed are:
CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS = [
  'http://localhost:3000',
  'https://message-in-a-bottle-fe-app.herokuapp.com',
  'https://app-message-in-a-bottle.herokuapp.com',
]
  1. Run the test suite with:
(venv) export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=message_in_a_bottle.settings
(venv) pytest --cov
  1. Run your local Python server with:
(venv) python manage.py runserver
