This cookiecutter project serves as a starting point for using the Django Globus Portal Framework (DGPF). Documentation for DGPF can be found here. Please see the installation instructions below to get an example application running using DGPF.
This project along with DGPF also showcases using three of Globus's APIs in a custom application - Auth, Search, and Transfer. This is just one example of many different ways Globus APIs can be used.
To see what is installed on the backend for the running the local API, check the requirements.txt file for more info. For the transfer portion of the project, check the package.json file to see what is running on the client.
The Installation below will set default values for the Globus CLIENT_ID and SECRET_KEY. If you want to use your own, go to developers.globus.org, create a new app, and ensure the following:
- Native app is not checked
- Redirect URL is set to http://localhost:8000/complete/globus
The Installation process creates a file for storing your credentials called
{{ cookiecutter.project_slug }}/settings/local.py. It resides next to the 'settings.py' file. When asked for the globus_client_id and globus_secret_key below, use the ones created from the process above.
For Transfer to work, you will also need to add a globus_portal_endpoint ID. If left blank (the default), the application will attempt to set it to the value of your Globus Connect Personal endpoint. You can update this at any time in your settings files, but only one endpoint can be associated with the transfer portal for transferring to other searched endpoints.
(Optional) Create a venv for installing modules:
python3 -m venv <path_to_venv>
source <path_to_venv>/bin/activate
