User Entropy Random Number Generator

This project is a full-stack application that combines Django and React to create a Random Number Generator (RNG) with user input. The user provides an input (like a name, a phrase, or any kind of text), and the application uses this input to generate a random seed that can then be used to generate random numbers.

Project Overview

Frontend (React):

• User provides an input (e.g., a name, phrase, or any text).
• React sends this input to the Django backend.
• The backend uses this input to generate a random seed.
• The frontend displays random numbers generated from that seed.

Backend (Django):

• Django receives the user input from the frontend.
• Using the input, it generates a random seed using Python’s random module.
• Django sends the generated random number(s) back to the frontend.

Project Setup

Prerequisites

• Python
• Node.js
• Django
• React
• pip (Python package installer)
• npm (Node package manager)

Backend (Django) Setup

1. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd rng_project

2. Install Django and Django REST Framework:

   pip install django djangorestframework

3. Run database migrations:

   python manage.py migrate

4. Start the Django development server:

   python manage.py runserver

Frontend (React) Setup

1. Navigate to the frontend directory:

   cd frontend

2. Install the npm packages:

   npm install

3. Start the React development server:

   npm start

Now, your React app should be available at http://localhost:3000, and your Django backend at http://localhost:8000.
