django-rest boilerplate for 4Geeks Academy students (ready for deployment on heroku if needed)

• Production-ready configuration for Static Files, Database Settings, Gunicorn, etc.
• Enhancements to Django's static file serving functionality via WhiteNoise.
• Latest Python 3.6 runtime environment.

To use this project, follow these steps:

1. Make sure you have python 3.6 installed, if you are using Cloud 9 you can install it by typing:

$ pyenv install 3.6.6   (this step takes a while)
$ pyenv global 3.6.6

2. Install Django and pipenv ($ sudo pip install django pipenv)
3. Make sure your current folder is empty. $ ls (if you do ls, it should show nothing, no files)
4. Create a new project using the 4Geeks Academy django-rest-hello template:

$ django-admin startproject <your_project_name> . --template=https://github.com/4GeeksAcademy/django-rest-hello/archive/master.zip --name=Procfile

You can replace <your_project_name> with your desired project name. 5. Install any defaul packages (similar to npm install when using javascript) and get inside your recently created python envirnoment

$ pypenv install
$ pipenv shell

6. Run the migrations

$ python manage.py migrate

7. Start the python server

$ python manage.py runserver $IP:$PORT

Your python API should be running smoothly.

$ git init
$ git add -A
$ git commit -m "Initial commit"

$ heroku create
$ git push heroku master

$ heroku run python manage.py migrate
