CRIPT app

This repository stores the web application for CRIPT: the Community Resource for Innovation in Polymer Technology.

Setup

1. Create a new directory to store the project in, navigate to the directory, and create a virtual environment inside it: python3 -m venv venv
2. Activate the virtual environment: source venv/bin/activate
   • To install packages into the virtual environment: pip install -r requirements.txt
   • To export packages from the virtual environment: pip freeze > requirements.txt
   • To deactivate the virtual environment: deactivate
3. To run the project, navigate inside the directory with manage.py and use python manage.py runserver. The page will be viewable at http://127.0.0.1:8000
   • To quit the server, use control-c
4. After making changes to models, the models can be "migrated" to the database using python manage.py makemigrations; python manage.py migrate

Creating a new app inside the project

1. in the directory with manage.py, create a new app using python manage.py startapp baseapp where baseapp is the name of the app
2. create a view for the app in baseapp/views.py
3. map the view to a URL using a URLconf. this should be in baseapp/urls.py
4. now we need to point the root URLconf at the baseapp.urls module. In dsite/urls.py, add an import for django.urls.include and insert the app in the urlpatterns list

• Current cript data model requires user to have access first to create a user node for themself
• Users should be able to autonomously
  • create accounts (which gives them API access)
  • edit their login password and details
