Hired Django RESTful App

This is the back-end counterpart to the full-stack Hired React App. A full description of the app can be found there.

Project Setup

Please Note that you must place the following steps in a separate directory from the front end app!!!!
Clone the repo and cd into it:

git clone git@github.com:kurtkrafft1/Hired-API.git
Navigate to the root directory: cd Hired-API
Set up your virtual environment:

python -m venv hiredEnv
Activate virtual environment:

source ./hiredEnv/bin/activate
Install dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt
I had to manually connect to the database a few times so you're going to have to set that up really quick so follow these instructions
In the root directory (the one you should be in) enter this: touch hiredapp/views/connection.py
hit then code . or some way to open your text editor to the root directory.
find that connection file the path is this hiredapp/views/connection.py

in that file enter the following code:

 class Connection:
     db_path = "Your db.sqlite3 path here"

make sure that the spacing is correct and that db_path is indented
In the terminal now we can run migrations:

python manage.py makemigrations python manage.py migrate
Now that you have this set up go back to your text editor that you opened earlier and you should see a file called "db.sqlite3" right or cmd click that file and hit 'copy path'
navigate back to the connection.py file and past that path where it says "your DB path here" keeping the quotation marks
in your terminal it is time to load fixtures:

python manage.py loaddata */fixtures/*.json
Start the API server:

python manage.py runserver
