MY PORTFOLIO

Welcome to my PORTFOLIO! Discover more about me and what I'm all about in this Django based web application.

1. Building the app

It is best to use the python virtualenv tool to build locally:

$ virtualenv venv --python-3.6.2
$ source venv/bin/activate
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ DEVELOPMENT=1 python manage.py runserver

Then visit http://localhost:8000 to view the app.

2. requirements.txt

The requirements.txt file serves as a placeholder for python dependancies.

Once you have run the pip installation, verify that you have all the necessary requirements with the following command:

pip3 freeze

The app should now run smoothly on your local server.......

Functionality breakdown

Let's get down and dirty & see how this app code works:

Components:

The Django framework allows for fast and effective control over new objects.

In this application I made use of this by creating project categories that are then templated conditionally.

EXAMPLE:

models.py

from django.db import models
import datetime



class Resume(models.Model):
    cat_choices = (
        ("PYTHON","PYTHON"),
        ("HTML","HTML"),
        ("BLENDER","BLENDER"),
    )

    category = models.CharField(max_length = 7 , choices = cat_choices , default = "HTML")
    title = models.CharField(max_length = 30)
    description = models.TextField()
    date_added = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add= True)
    githuburl = models.CharField(max_length = 255, blank = True)
    live_app_deployment = models.CharField(max_length = 255 , blank = True)
    article_image = models.ImageField(blank = True)

    def __str__(self):
        return self.title

The Resume class takes in a choice feild, which is then handled in the templates with the {% for items in blender %} and {% if items.category == "BLENDER" %} templating functions. it conpares if the value of the category of the object is equal to BLENDER (in this case).

In our views.py file we handle what happens with this classmethod:

views.py

def search_results(request):

    if 'article' in request.GET and request.GET["article"]:
        search_term = request.GET.get("article") 
        searched_images = Image.search_by_title(search_term) or Tag.search_by_tag(search_term) or Category.search_by_cat(search_term)
        message = f"{search_term}"
        date = dt.date.today()

        return render(request, 'all_images/search.html', {"message":message, "images": searched_images, "date":date})
    else:
        message = "You havne't searched for any term"
        date = dt.date.today()
        return render(request, 'all_images/search.html',{"message":message, "date":date})

First we define the GET request by saying:

First we make sure the object "article" really exists in our request.
The search terms is the gotten from the requested object by passing the key "article"

Django allows us to connect this model to a postgresql db:

settings.py

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql',
        'NAME': 'zoominphotos',
        'USER': '***...***',
        'PASSWORD': '***...***',
    }
}

The engine key defines what kind of database you want to use.

We are happy to receive bug reports, fixes, documentation enhancements, and other improvements.
