About The Project

Message in a Bottle is an application where users can discover stories about the communities around them. This app was designed as a way to interact with cities, neighborhoods, and the people that inhabit them. The Message in a Bottle backend is built with a Django framework that stores story and user data through PostgreSQL. We expose this data to our frontend team to build out the user interface.

Learning Goals

  • Building a RESTful API with a Python Django backend
  • Collaborating with a Front-End dev team
  • Geolocation calls and tracking
  • Applying best practices learned during Turing to a new language and framework
    • e.g. TDD, OOP, REST, MVC(Rails) <--> MTV(Django)
  • Making use of the git rebase workflow

$ python3 -V
> Python 3.9.7

Installation

  1. Fork this repo
  2. Clone your new repo:
git clone https://github.com/MIBFB-COLLAB/message_in_a_bottle_backend.git
  1. Create and Invoke your virtual environment:
python3 -m virtualenv venv
source venv/bin/activate
  1. Install dependencies:
(venv) python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
  1. Set up the database:
$ psql

CREATE DATABASE <project name>;
CREATE USER <user name> WITH PASSWORD <password>;
ALTER ROLE <user name> SET client_encoding TO 'utf8';
ALTER ROLE <user name> SET default_transaction_isolation TO 'read committed';
ALTER ROLE <user name> SET timezone TO 'UTC';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE <project name> TO <user name>;
\q
  1. Add PostgreSQL database info to settings.py file:
DATABASES = {
  'default': {
      'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2',
      'NAME': '
   
    '
   ,
      'USER': '
