Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Node.js
• npm
• vite
• Python
• pip
• PostgreSQL
• virtualenv (optional, but recommended)

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/Afonne-CID/TodoEngine.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

cd TodoEngine

3. Set up the frontend:

   a. Navigate to the todoengine folder:

   cd todoengine

   b. Install the dependencies:

   yarn install

   c. Start the development server:

   yarn dev

4. Set up the backend:

   a. Navigate to the todoengine_api folder:

   cd ../todoengine_api

   b. Create a virtual environment and activate it:

   python -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate

   c. Install the dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

   d. Copy the .env.example file to .env and update the environment variables:

   DJANGO_SECRET_KEY=<your_secret_key>
   DJANGO_SECRET_KEY=<your_django_secret_key>
   POSTGRES_DB_NAME=<your_postgres_db_name>
   POSTGRES_USER=<your_postgres_user>
   POSTGRES_PASSWORD=<your_postgres_password>
   POSTGRES_HOST=<your_postgres_host>
   POSTGRES_PORT=5432

To generate a strong SECRET_KEY, use the Python command python -c ("import secrets; print(secrets.token_hex(32))), then copy/paste the generate string into your DJANGO_SECRET_KEY value

e. Apply the migrations:

python manage.py migrate

f. Start the development server:

python manage.py runserver

5. Open your browser and go to http://localhost:8000 to view the app. Or the right port if you changed the default port.

Deployment

The frontend is designed to be deployed using Vercel, and the backend can be deployed using any platform that supports Django applications, such as Heroku or PythonAnywhere.

Make sure to update the API_URL in the todoengine/src/helpers/index.js and todoengine/src/components/AuthButtons.js files to point to the correct API URL for your backend deployment.
