Codango is a Resource Sharing Social Network for Coders.

Codango resource sharing includes Code Snippets posting and Pdf uploads. Codango also allows for Pair Programming and Networking among coders.

1. Clone the repository and create a Virtual Environment.
   • Run virtualenv <virtualenvname> to create the virtual environment or mkvirtualenv <virtualenvname> if using virtualenv wrapper to create the virtual environment.
2. Install all the necessary requirements by running pip install -r requirements.txt within the virtual environment.
3. Configure your database configurations in a development.py and save in the settings folder (sample shown below) You'll need to install postgres for this. If you don't have it installed, download it here.

   Sample development.py

   #!/usr/bin/python
   # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
   
   from .base import *
   import sys
   
   if 'test' in sys.argv:
       DATABASES = {
           'default': {
               'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
               'NAME': 'testdatabase',
           }
       }
   else:
       DATABASES = {
           'default': {
               'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2',
               'NAME': 'codango', # Enter your database's name
               'USER': 'user', # Enter your DB user
               'PASSWORD': 'p@ssw0rd', # Enter your DB password
               'HOST': '127.0.0.1',
               'PORT': '5432',
           }
       }
   

   If you prefer another 3rd party DB backend update the second 'ENGINE' value accordingly
4. Create a .env.yml to hold all your environment variables, like your secret key, save in the same level as your README.md file (sample shown below)

   Sample .env.yml format

   api_key:
   "123456789101112"  # This is your API key
   api_secret:
   "Abc_DefgHIjKlmn-O1pqRStu2V"  # This is your API secret
   cloud_name:
   "codangofile"
   SECRET_KEY:
   "12345678910111213141516171819202122232425"  # This is the Secret key
   sendgrid_apikey:
   "1234567891011121314151617181920212223242526272829303132333435"  # This is your SendGrid API Key
   GITHUB_CLIENT_ID:
       "123456789101112131415"  # This is your Github client ID
   GITHUB_SECRET_KEY:
       "12345678910111213141516171819202122232425"  # This is your Github secret Key
   CELERY_NOTIFICATION_TIMEOUT:
       "10"  # This is the timeout set to 10 seconds (Increase this parameter for production)
   
   

5. Run bower install to install all front end dependencies. Please ensure you are on the same level with .bowerrc when you run this command
6. Run cd codango to navigate into the project directory
7. Run python manage.py collectstatic to copy all your static files into the staticfiles directory
8. Run python manage.py makemigrations and python manage.py migrate to create the necessary tables and everything required to run the application.
9. Run python manage.py runserver to run the app.
10. Run coverage run manage.py test to know how much the app is covered by automated testing.
11. Run coverage report to view the report of the coverage on your terminal.
12. Run coverage html to produce the html of coverage result.

1. Activate virtual environment.
2. Navigate into the project directory.
3. Run python manage.py test to test codango.
4. Run python manage.py test <appname> to test an individual app.
5. Run coverage run manage.py test to run coverage for codango.

Codango has a REpresentational State Transfer (REST) Application Program Interface (API) The documentation done on Apiary is here.

The API endpoints are accessible at localhost:8000/api/v1/

To run tests specific to the API Run python manage.py test api
