React-Unchained (React + Django)

The genesis of this was wanting to put my recalculations of metrics for github user contributions online somewhere.

In the process, I thought I'd learn a little Django, and here we are.

installing (non-docker version)

git clone https://github.com/lpmi-13/react-unchained

npm install

(using python3 + virtual environment method of choice) pip install

running the dev server (non-docker version)

From the mysite directory...make sure postgres is listening on port 5432. After that, migrate the models with:

python3 manage.py migrate --settings=mysite.settings.dev

Then, either grab some actual data as described here, or seed the database with the following:

python3 manage.py seed stats --number=100 --settings=mysite.settings.dev

Once there's data in postgres, go ahead and run the server

python3 manage.py runserver --settings=mysite.settings.dev

running the dev server (docker version)

EXPERIMENTAL

npm install && npm run build will put all the necessary js assets in the right place for django to find them. I wanted to hook up the webpack dev server hot reloading so you don't need to do this in dev mode, but just haven't had the time to mess around with it.

docker-compose up --build the server should now be ready at localhost:8000

You can also run npm run dev-docker to put the above in one step.

running the django tests

python3 manage.py test --settings=mysite.settings.dev

running the react tests

npm run test

building the frontend assets

npm run build

running in production

gunicorn --workers 3 --bind unix:mysite.sock mysite.wsgi

example location block in Nginx for reverse server-ing

(if cloned to ~/)

location / {
        include proxy_params;
        proxy_pass http://unix:/home/USER/react-unchained/mysite/mysite.sock;
        }
