API generation

We are now using Django REST Framework's self-browsable API served at https://solvedchinese.org/api_root. You can also test it locally in your development server.

Installation

this is supposed to be done on a Ubuntu machine

1. clone this repo

git clone git@github.com:solved-chinese/app.git

2. Create a conda environment using the env.yaml file in project root and activate it:

conda env create -f env.yaml
conda activate jiezi

3. Setup PostgresSQL: install PostgresSQL https://www.postgresql.org/download/linux/ubuntu/ setup the database to match jiezi.settings.DATABASES:

sudo -u postgres psql
postgre# \password postgres (use this to change the password of postgres to 'jiezi')

4. Create your own secret files:

   1. Generate your own django secret_key, in python:

   from django.core.management.utils import get_random_secret_key  
   get_random_secret_key() # the returned value is your secret key

   2. Create jiezi_secret/secret.py using your secret key:

   """This file is suppose to keep secret variables """
   
   SECRET_KEY = 'YOUR_SECRET_KEY'
   
   # This should store jiezi_secret or local database, and it will update setting
   # DATABASES (you may override default database if necessary)
   DATABASES = {
   }

   3. get jiezi_secret/datafile_service_account.json from us, this is used to access our google drive data

5. Make the required migrations

python manage.py migrate

6. For the setup of Celery and Redis, reference wiki page Note that Celery doesn't work with Windows!

7. Locally run the development server

python manage.py runserver
