Setup

Postgres setup for MAC:

• create role admin with login password '1234';
• \q
• psql postgres -U admin
• create database training;
• GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE training TO admin;

Backend setup:

• Go to backend folder lets_train_backend
• virtualenv venv
• source venv/bin/activate
• pip install -r requirements.txt
• python manage.py makemigrations
• python manage.py migrate
• python manage.py runserver

Frontend setup:

• Go to frontend folder lets_train_ui
• npm install
• npm start

Creating an admin user for application:

• Comment authentication in lets_train_backend/api_app/views.py

  • # authentication_classes = (TokenAuthentication,)
  • # permission_classes = (IsAdminOrReadOnly, )

• URL: localhost:8000/api/user/

• Method: POST

• JSON: [{

    "username":"1234",
  
    "first_name":"admin",
  
    "last_name":"",
  
    "email":"admin@localhost.com",
  
    "password":"1234",
  
    "userprofile":{
        "employee_code":"00000"
     },
  
    "is_staff": true
  

  }]

• This will create an admin user with username 1234 and password 1234

• Uncomment authentication in lets_train_backend/api_app/views.py
