Test email

[Justin-Ferwerda]

I created a gmail account for Muka, help.muka@gmail.com. This can be changed, just what I thought of. I then connected it to Django in settings.py and created a test view.

To Test

• Create a .env file in /app folder.
• I shared a link to a doc with the ENV settings we will need as well as gmail login info
• In Postman, send a GET request to http://localhost:8000/emails
• It should return a response of { "message": "Email Sent!" }
• The email is sent from Muka to Muka so you can check for confirmation in Muka's inbox.

Dependencies

pip install django-environ

Can we add a file called sample.env in the app directory so we can keep track of all our variables?

SECRET_KEY=
EMAIL_USER=
EMAIL_PASSWORD=

Also, let's add the django-environ as a dependency in our Pipfile. I know you have it being installed using pip globally, but we want to make sure this exists in the Pipfile for deployment.

We can use the version 0.10.0

django-environ = "0.10.0"
