Basic Commands
Setting Up Your Users
To create a normal user account, just go to Sign Up and fill out the form. Once you submit it, you'll see a "Verify Your E-mail Address" page. Go to your console to see a simulated email verification message. Copy the link into your browser. Now the user's email should be verified and ready to go.
To create an superuser account, use this command:
$ python manage.py createsuperuser
For convenience, you can keep your normal user logged in on Chrome and your superuser logged in on Firefox (or similar), so that you can see how the site behaves for both kinds of users.
Type checks
Running type checks with mypy:
$ mypy helios
Test coverage
To run the tests, check your test coverage, and generate an HTML coverage report:
$ coverage run -m pytest $ coverage html $ open htmlcov/index.html
Running tests with py.test
$ pytest
Live reloading and Sass CSS compilation
Moved to Live reloading and SASS compilation.
Email Server
In development, it is often nice to be able to see emails that are being sent from your application. For that reason local SMTP server MailHog with a web interface is available as docker container.
Container mailhog will start automatically when you will run all docker containers. Please check cookiecutter-django Docker documentation for more details how to start all containers.
With MailHog running, to view messages that are sent by your application, open your browser and go to http://127.0.0.1:8025
Deployment
The following details how to deploy this application.
Docker
See detailed cookiecutter-django Docker documentation.
Custom Bootstrap Compilation
The generated CSS is set up with automatic Bootstrap recompilation with variables of your choice. Bootstrap v4 is installed using npm and customised by tweaking your variables in static/sass/custom_bootstrap_vars.
You can find a list of available variables in the bootstrap source, or get explanations on them in the Bootstrap docs.
