Development

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/teg-iitr/tsaas-backend

2. Create and activate a python3 virtual environment

python3 -m virtualenv --python=$(which python3) env
source env/bin/activate

To install virtualenv, follow the instructions from here

3. Install the required dependencies

cd tsaas-backend
pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Create local settings file and set up database

Sometimes, depending on your choice of database installing postgresql may also be required, which can be done following instructions for MacOS, Linux and Windows

We recommend using postgresql only in production environment, for development we recommend using sqlite3 which comes pre-installed with python.

Creating local settings file

1. Inside folder tsaas-backend/transport/settings create a new file local_settings.py

2. Copy the content of the production_settings.py into local_settings.py

3. If you want to use sqlite3 for database

   Inside file local_settings.py, comment line 97 to 107 and uncomment line 112 to 121

4. If you plan to use postgresql

   Configure your database in local_settings.py [line 97 to 107]

   # ---> WE ARE USING POSTGRES AS RECOMMENDED BY DJANGO.
   DATABASES = {
       'default': {
       'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2',
       'NAME': 'name_of_database', # ---> REPLACE THIS WITH THE NAME OF YOUR OWN DATABASE
       'USER': 'dummy_username', # ---> REPLACE THIS WITH THE USERNAME YOU CREATE IN PSQL
       'PASSWORD': 'dummy_password', # ---> REPLACE THIS WITH THE PASSWORD YOU CREATE IN PSQL
       'HOST': 'localhost',
       'PORT': '',
       }
   }

5. Set up django

1. Apply migrations

python manage.py migrate

2. Create superuser for database

python manage.py createsuperuser

3. Make migrations for our transdb table

python manage.py makemigrations transdb

6. Start the Project

python manage.py runserver

To login to admin dashboard go to http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/ and login using the credentials you created using step 5.2
