Basic Commands

Setting Up Your Users

• To create a normal user account, just go to Sign Up and fill out the form. Once you submit it, you'll see a "Verify Your E-mail Address" page. Go to your console to see a simulated email verification message. Copy the link into your browser. Now the user's email should be verified and ready to go.

• To create a superuser account, use this command:

  $ python manage.py createsuperuser
  

For convenience, you can keep your normal user logged in on Chrome and your superuser logged in on Firefox (or similar), so that you can see how the site behaves for both kinds of users.

Type checks

Running type checks with mypy:

$ mypy zahid_test

Test coverage

To run the tests, check your test coverage, and generate an HTML coverage report:

$ coverage run -m pytest
$ coverage html
$ open htmlcov/index.html

Running tests with pytest

$ pytest

Live reloading and Sass CSS compilation

Moved to Live reloading and SASS compilation.

Celery

This app comes with Celery.

To run a celery worker:

cd zahid_test
celery -A config.celery_app worker -l info

Please note: For Celery's import magic to work, it is important where the celery commands are run. If you are in the same folder with manage.py, you should be right.

To run periodic tasks, you'll need to start the celery beat scheduler service. You can start it as a standalone process:

cd zahid_test
celery -A config.celery_app beat

or you can embed the beat service inside a worker with the -B option (not recommended for production use):

cd zahid_test
celery -A config.celery_app worker -B -l info

Email Server

In development, it is often nice to be able to see emails that are being sent from your application. For that reason local SMTP server Mailpit with a web interface is available as docker container.

Container mailpit will start automatically when you will run all docker containers. Please check cookiecutter-django Docker documentation for more details how to start all containers.

With Mailpit running, to view messages that are sent by your application, open your browser and go to http://127.0.0.1:8025

Deployment

The following details how to deploy this application.

Docker

See detailed cookiecutter-django Docker documentation.

Custom Bootstrap Compilation

The generated CSS is set up with automatic Bootstrap recompilation with variables of your choice. Bootstrap v5 is installed using npm and customised by tweaking your variables in static/sass/custom_bootstrap_vars.

You can find a list of available variables in the bootstrap source, or get explanations on them in the Bootstrap docs.

Bootstrap's javascript as well as its dependencies are concatenated into a single file: static/js/vendors.js.
