Django Lender

Author: Nicholas Hunt-Walker and the class of Python 401d5

An app for managing the lending of books from an online book library.

Getting Started

Clone this repository into whatever directory you want to work from.

$ git clone https://github.com/codefellows/django_lender.git

Assuming that you have access to Python 3 at the system level, start up a new virtual environment.

$ cd django_lender
$ python3 -m venv .
$ source bin/activate

Once your environment has been activated, make sure to install Django and all of this project's required packages.

(django_lender) $ pip install -r requirements.pip

Navigate to the project root, lending_library, and apply the migrations for the app.

(django_lender) $ cd lending_library
(django_lender) $ ./manage.py migrate

Finally, run the server in order to server the app on localhost

(django_lender) $ ./manage.py runserver

Django will typically serve on port 8000, unless you specify otherwise. You can access the locally-served site at the address http://localhost:8000.

Running Tests

Running tests for the django_lender is fairly straightforward. Navigate to the same directory as the manage.py file and type:

(django_lender) $ coverage run manage.py test

This will show you which tests have failed, which tests have passed. If you'd like a report of the actual coverage of your tests, type

(django_lender) $ coverage report

This will read from the included .coverage file, with configuration set in the .coveragerc file. Currently the configuration will show which lines were missing from the test coverage.
