Tradexa Assignment

An application that has two apps.

1. User with user and Post model User : first_name, last_name, email, password, username Post : user, text, created_at, updated_at Foreign key relationship exists between User and Post on Model level not on Database level.

2. Products app with Product model. Product : name, weight, price, created_at, updated_at Both of the apps should use two different databases. Create a form that an authenticated user can use to create a post.

Since specifications of fields have not been mentioned, I assumed all the fields are mandatory and not blank.

Two seperate databases for two different apps:

• users_db for User app
• products_db for Products app

Look at the following screenshot of database schema

Setting up Environment for Project

Basic Requirements

1. Python
2. pip
3. Django

Creating Virtual Environment

A virtual environment is a tool that helps keep dependencies required and the project isolated. If you wish to install a new library and write

pip install name_of_library

on the terminal without activating an environment, all the packages will be installed globally which is not a good practice if you’re working with different projects on your computer.

If this sounds a bit complicated, don’t worry so much because a virtual environment is just a directory that will contain all the necessary files for our project to run.

Installing venv (required once)

Windows

python -m pip install --user virtualenv
python -m venv env

Linux

python3 -m pip install --user virtualenv
python3 -m venv env

You have to start virtual environment everytime you start new terminal -

Windows

Using gitbash

. env/Scripts/activate

Using Powershell

. env\Scripts\activate

Linux

source env/bin/activate

Installing Requirements

Windows

pip install -r requirements.txt

Linux

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Setting up Database

• Run makemigrations command.

  Windows

  python manage.py makemigrations
  

  Linux

  python3 manage.py makemigrations
  

• Migrate both databases.

  Windows

  python manage.py migrate --database=users_db
  python manage.py migrate --database=products_db
  

  Linux

  python3 manage.py migrate --database=users_db
  python3 manage.py migrate --database=products_db
  

• Create superuser.

  Windows

  python manage.py createsuperuser --database=users_db
  

  Linux

  python3 manage.py createsuperuser --database=users_db
  

• Start development server

  Windows
