Chafan Core Backend Framework

Under active construction!! 🚧

Getting Started

Requirements

• Linux or Unix environment
• Terminal
• VS Code
• Postgre DB for development, with a new user
  • macOS: https://postgresapp.com
  • Remember to add the command line utils to $PATH.
  • Run create database chafan_dev;.
• Redis for developement
  • macOS: https://redis.io/docs/getting-started/installation/install-redis-on-mac-os/
• RabbitMQ for development:
  • macOS: brew install rabbitmq (see more in "RabbitMQ dev setup in macOS")

Set up editor

• Install Poetry package manager https://python-poetry.org
• poetry install to create virtual env and install all Python dependencies
• poetry shell to enter the virtual env. You need to run this everytime in this repo before running other commands that depends on Python code.
• make link-venv to create a symbolic to virtual env such that VSCode is happy (if necessary, Run "Reload window" and make sure that the Python environment is .venv).
• Use VSCode with Python extension (Pylance is recommended).

Develop server locally

Example .env for basic development (update DATABASE_URL, REDIS_URL, RABBITMQ_URL if necessary):

SERVER_NAME=dev.cha.fan
SERVER_HOST=http://dev.cha.fan:4582
BACKEND_CORS_ORIGINS=["http://dev.cha.fan:8080"]
PROJECT_NAME=Chafan Dev
SECRET_KEY=chafandev
FIRST_SUPERUSER=admin@cha.fan
FIRST_SUPERUSER_PASSWORD=superuser
USERS_OPEN_REGISTRATION=False
DATABASE_URL=postgresql://chafan@localhost:5432/chafan_dev
ENV=dev
REDIS_URL=redis://127.0.0.1:6379
RABBITMQ_URL=amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672/%2f

Run following commands to create database and initialize chafan_dev table.

# Run migrations
alembic upgrade head

# Create initial data in DB
python scripts/initial_data.py

After initialization, run dev server:

make dev-run

Open http://dev.cha.fan:4582/docs for API docs.

DB Schema Migrations

$ alembic revision --autogenerate -m "Add column last_name to User model"
$ alembic upgrade head

Test

Reset persistent state before testing:

bash scripts/reset_app_state.sh

Test a single file:

scripts/run-unit-tests.sh

Test all:

pytest

RabbitMQ dev setup in macOS

Management Plugin enabled by default at http://localhost:15672. Default username/password is guest/guest.

To have launchd start rabbitmq now and restart at login:

brew services start rabbitmq

Or, if you don't want/need a background service you can just run:

rabbitmq-server

Staging

stag branch is automatically pushed to the following endpoint for testing:

https://chafan-test.dokku.cha.fan/
