🚀 Sangnet | Connecting blood, saving life

This repository contains a project that combines Django, Django REST Framework, React, and Vite to create a web application with a robust backend and a dynamic frontend.

Project Structure

The project is organized into two main folders:

backend: Contains the Django application responsible for handling API requests and database interactions.
frontend: Contains the React application built using Vite, providing a modern and efficient development experience for the frontend.

Backend (Django) 📦

The backend is built using Django and Django REST Framework, providing a RESTful API to communicate with the frontend. The key features of the backend include:

API endpoints to manage various resources, such as users, data models, and more.
Integration with a database (e.g., PostgreSQL, SQLite) to store and retrieve data.
Authentication and authorization mechanisms to secure API endpoints.
Custom views, serializers, and models to tailor the API to your project's needs.

Setting Up the Backend 🛠️

Navigate to the backend folder:
```
cd backend
```
Setup the environment variables:

Rename the .env.example to .env and update all the env variables.
- EMAIL_HOST_USER is your gmail.
- EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD will be the App Password in your gmail. Refer this doc to create your app password.
- DATABASE_URL is typically a external Postgres db URL hosted on cloud. You can create a free one on Render.
- PS: If you don't want to setup a cloud db, you can still use a local db for development purpose. For that uncomment line 88-93 in core/settings.py and comment out line 95-97
Create a Python Virtual Environment (Optional, but recommended):

Create and activate a virtual environment to isolate project dependencies.

On macOS and Linux:
```
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
```
On Windows:
```
pip install virtualenv
virtualenv venv
./venv/Scripts/Activate.ps1
```
Install the required Python packages:
```
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

Run database migrations:

python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate

Start the Django development server:
```
python manage.py runserver
```
Use http://localhost:8000 as the API base URL.

Frontend (React with Vite) ⚛️

The frontend is built using React and Vite, providing fast development and hot module replacement for efficient code changes. The frontend offers a user-friendly interface to interact with the API provided by the Django backend.
