Final-Project-Starter

1. License
2. add your names to the readme (this file)
3. Scaffold your project
4. Task Board

License

License your repository with some license that says future students and faculty could build on your work (e.g. the MIT license or a "Copyleft" license if you prefer)

The Team

Mostly just to make sure you each have access and can pull and push to the repo, add your name here:

1. Wynn Ames
2. Thomas Brickhouse
3. Shelsey Vega

Scaffolding

In the Wedge of Django, they show you how to work with the django-crash-starter cookiecutter template. That template is likely sufficient for your final project. For your reference, there's also a more "production-ready" (i.e. complicated) cookiecutter template for django projects built and maintained by some of the same cast of characters. The latter is called simply (if not so humbly 😳) Cookiecutter Django and its documentation especially about the project generation options is here.

Talk with your team and choose one of these cookiecutter templates and run it to get things rolling.

Task Board

Test

It's not exactly time yet, but if you're excited I don't want to stand in the way. For (at least) the last 6 weeks of the semester, we'll organize your work into 2-week "Sprints" using a "task board". GitHub has a feature that the unfortunately call "projects" that we can use to plan and coordinate. There are many templates available, perhaps the "Featued" template titled "Iterative Developement" would be a good choice.

1. Find the "Projects" tab at the top of your repo in github
2. Click the arrow beside the green "Link Project" button and choose "New Project"
3. I guess now you also have to click "New Project" 🙄
4. find the "iterative development" template and choose it.

Project Setup

1. Clone repository
2. Create new conda environment for project
3. Activate environment, then navigate to requirements dir in terminal and run pip install -r local.txt
4. Navigate to frontend dir and run npm install

5. run createdb campusq (ensure postgres app is running first)

   Running local dev servers

   1. Frontend: navigate to frontend dir, run npm run autobuild
   2. Backend: navigate to root folder, run python manage.py runserver
