PokeBattle

About

A Django 1.11 project boilerplate/template with lots of state of the art libraries and tools like:

• React, for building interactive UIs
• django-js-reverse, for generating URLs on JS
• Bootstrap 4, for responsive styling
• Webpack, for bundling static assets
• Celery, for background worker tasks
• WhiteNoise with brotlipy, for efficient static files serving
• prospector and ESLint with pre-commit for automated quality assurance (does not replace proper testing!)

For continuous integration, a CircleCI configuration circle.yml is included.

Also, includes a Heroku app.json and a working Django production.py settings, enabling easy deployments with 'Deploy to Heroku' button. Those Heroku plugins are included in app.json:

• PostgreSQL, for DB
• Redis, for Celery
• Sendgrid, for e-mail sending
• Papertrail, for logs and platform errors alerts (must set them manually)

This is a good starting point for modern Python/JavaScript web projects.

Running

Setup

• On project root, do the following:
• Create a copy of pokebattle/settings/local.py.example:
  cp pokebattle/settings/local.py.example pokebattle/settings/local.py
• Create a copy of .env.example:
  cp .env.example .env
• Run the migrations:
  python manage.py migrate

• npm run start
• pipenv shell
• python manage.py runserver

Testing

make test

Will run django tests using --keepdb and --parallel. You may pass a path to the desired test module in the make command. E.g.:

make test someapp.tests.test_views

Adding new pypi libs

Just run pipenv install LIB_NAME_ON_PYPI and then pipenv lock to lock the version in Pipfile.lock file

Linting

• Manually with prospector and npm run lint on project root.
• During development with an editor compatible with prospector and ESLint.

Pre-commit hooks

• Run pre-commit install to enable the hook into your git repo. The hook will run automatically for each commit.
• Run git commit -m "Your message" -n to skip the hook if you need.
