Prerequisites

Before getting started you should have the following installed and running:

• Yarn - instructions
• Vue CLI 3 - instructions
• Python 3 - instructions
• Pipenv - instructions

Setup Template

$ git clone https://github.com/Janjs/KnowTheFlagGame
$ cd KnowTheFlagGame

Setup

$ yarn install
$ pipenv install --dev && pipenv shell
$ python manage.py migrate

Running Development Servers

$ python manage.py runserver

From another tab in the same directory:

$ yarn serve

The Vue application will be served from localhost:8080 and the Django API and static files will be served from localhost:8000.

The dual dev server setup allows you to take advantage of webpack's development server with hot module replacement. Proxy config in vue.config.js is used to route the requests back to django's API on port 8000.

If you would rather run a single dev server, you can run Django's development server only on :8000, but you have to build build the Vue app first and the page will not reload on changes.

$ yarn build
$ python manage.py runserver
