I built this project to learn Django framework. I've implemented basic CRUD functionality for blog posts and used django templates for rendering them. And the front-end is taken from Start Bootstrap templates.
- Sign-up, log in and log out. Built custom forms, however, you can do the same using the admin panel.
- Create, read, update, and delete posts.
- Filter posts using basic filters.
- Protecting blog posts from unauthorized access.
-
Download or clone the repository.
-
Once inside the project folder, create & activate a virtual environment:
python3 -m venv venv; source venv/bin/activate -
cd into the project folder, and install the required packages:
pip install -r requirements.txt -
Run these commands to migrate your database:
python manage.py makemigrations; python manage.py migrate -
Create a superuser (it'll ask you for email and password):
python manage.py createsuperuser -
setup_db.txt contains code to populate the database, we'll use django shell:
python manage.py shell -
Now, copy and paste all the code from setup_db.txt file to django shell. This wil make sure our database doesn't feel empty. Feel free to tinker with the setup_db.txt.
-
Finally, start the server:
python manage.py runserver -
Go to http://127.0.0.1:8000/
