My Tennis Club 🎾

My Tennis Club is a web application used to represent some data about the members of a tennis club. This is my first-ever Django project and it was intended for learning purposes only.

Configuration

Middleware

• WhiteNoise: Pip package that allows web apps to serve their static files such as JavaScript, CSS, and Images.

Database

• SQLite: Embedded, serverless relational database management system.

Installation

You can follow these steps to set up and run the project on your local machine.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have met the following requirements:

• Python 3.7 or later is required (You can download Python from the official website: https://www.python.org/downloads/)

Setting Up & Running The Server

1. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/SSHshadow222/my-first-django.git
   cd my-first-django

2. Create and activate a virtual environment

   Windows:

   > py -m venv .venv 
   > .venv\Scripts\activate.bat

   Unix-Like:

   $ python -m venv .venv
   $ source .venv/bin/activate

3. Install dependencies

   cd src
   pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Configure the environment file

   Create a .env file in my_tenis_club and add a secret key:

   SECRET_KEY=your_secret_key

   To generate a random secret key run the following commands:

   $ python manage.py shell
   
   >>> from django.core.management.utils import get_random_secret_key
   >>> print(get_random_secret_key())

5. Finally, run the server

   $ python manage.py runserver
