Manual Build

Download the code

$ git clone https://github.com/app-generator/django-react-starter.git
$ cd django-react-starter

👉 Build React Frontend

$ yarn       # Install React
$ yarn dev   # development build (with LIVE Reload)
$ yarn build # production build

👉 Build Django Backend

Install modules via VENV

$ virtualenv env
$ source env/bin/activate
$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Set Up Database

$ python manage.py makemigrations
$ python manage.py migrate

Start the APP

$ python manage.py createsuperuser # create the admin
$ python manage.py runserver       # start the project

At this point, the app runs at http://127.0.0.1:8000/.

Charts Provisioning

Open the Django shell and create manually new records:

$ python manage.py shell
>>> from apps.home.models import Sales
>>>
>>> s1 = Sales() # Use the default country `USA`
>>> s1.save()
>>>
>>> s2 = Sales() # Use the default country `USA`
>>> s2.save()
>>> 
>>> s3 = Sales()
>>> s3.country = 'ger' # Create a sale from `Germany`
>>> s3.save()
>>> 
>>> s4 = Sales()
>>> s4.country = 'france' # Ans another one from France
>>> s4.save()

Once the information is saved, the /charts route should render the information:
