GoudaTime ·

GoudaTime is the Tinder of the restaurant industry. GoudaTime allows you and your friends to join a virtual party and vote yes or no on restaurants near you. If the entire party votes yes on any restaurant it will show up under your list of matches with information pertaining to the restaurant. We're here to make sure you all get something you want to eat!

Tasks & Goals

TODOS

• Re-organize the models AND forms into individual files for aesthetics and styles

• Remove 'Deny' model and implement single field in Match to determine whether its a match or deny
• Allow users to update and edit their existing profiles
• Add delete feature on existing matches

• Allow uses to add a profile picture (not sure if I want to allow this)
• Move forms into individual files in one folder

BIG TODOS

• Dynamically load restaurants from surrounding area
  • Google maps implemented but need to use current (geolocation) to get and store the data into the user models
  • Also need to convert latitude and longitude to street address to allow the user to better understand where they are
  • Use a spatial database such as postgis to manipulate the proximity features for displaying closest locations
  • Figure out how to use the JSON return from the Google Places API to import models into the database
• Allow group matching to help people decide on a place to eat together
  • Add group html page
  • Add group model into models
  • Update user model to have group status
  • Update views and urls for the new group model and html

Local development

Requirements

• Python 3
• pip
• postgresql or sqlite (if you get sqlite you need to change the data schema see step 6)
• a hardworking attitude!

To run this project in your development machine, follow these steps:

1. (optional) Create and activate a virtualenv (you may want to use virtualenvwrapper).

2. Ensure that the executable pg_config is available on your machine. You can check this using which pg_config. If not, install the dependency with one of the following.

3. macOS: brew install postgresql using Homebrew 3.1. Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install libpq-dev

4. Fork this repo and clone your fork:

git clone https://github.com/GFynbo/GoudaTime.git

5. Install dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

6. Create a .env file under the /GoudaTime/ folder (inside the project folder i.e. GoudaTime/GoudaTime/) that contains the environment variables including the REQUIRED google maps api key!!

   SECRET_KEY='SECRET_KEY_HERE'
   DATABASE_PASSWORD='DATABASE_PASSWORD_HERE'
   MAPS_KEY='GOOGLE_MAPS_JAVASCRIPT_API_KEY_HERE'
   

   1. Either keep the existing postgresql schema for the database or switch to a local sqlite3 which can be done by chanding the settings from

   DATABASES = {
       'default': {
           'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql',
           'NAME': 'DATABASE_NAME',
           'USER': 'USERNAME',
           'PASSWORD': DATABASE_PASSWORD,
           'HOST': 'localhost',
           'PORT': '5432',
       }
   }
   

   To

   DATABASES = {
       'default': {
           'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
           'NAME': 'db.sqlite3',
       }
   }
   

7. Create a development database:

./manage.py migrate

8. If everything is alright, you should be able to start the Django development server:

./manage.py runserver

9. Open your browser and go to http://127.0.0.1:8000, you will be greeted with a welcome page.
