Timesheet-Application-GM-Backend

This folder contains the Django built backend for the Timesheet application

Getting Started

Typically I remove all secret keys and place important information within ENV files but for this application I left everything in. I strongly recommend for you to do so if you plan on forking this repository for personal use.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.0+
• Pip3
• Virtualenv

Installation

1. Install prerequisites if you have not already
2. Create a Virtualenv environment

virtualenv venv

3. Activate environment

source venv/bin/activate

4. Install requirements file from repository

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

5. (./manage.py or Python3 manage.py) Makemigrations and migrate to Django provided SQLite database or Postgres if you have the time

python3 manage.py makemigrations
python3 manage.py migrate

6. Create Superuser for testing on local machine (No need to if you're simply calling the api and don't care to see all the data or change it)

python3 manage.py createsuperuser

7. Run the development server before running the frontends server. It is best to use localhost:8000. If not you will have to change the url within services/api.js of the front end main folder

python3 manage.py runserver
