Deploy djangorp

Django + Redis + Postgres

https://github.com/fauzaanu/djangorp/

Tailwindcss

• The jstoolchain folder includes a tailwindcss setup
• You should run npm i to install the dependencies
• There is also a .xml file for PyCharm users to make it a File Watcher
• The tailwind.config.js file is configured to search for html and py files
• .py files because forms.py could have tailwindcss classes due to the user of crispy-forms with crispy-tailwind

Role of Redis

• Redis is used as a cache firstly
• Secondly, it is used as a message broker for Celery
• Thirdly, it is used as a session store

Celery

• Celery is used for background tasks that take a long time to complete.
• tasks.py is where the tasks are defined and they can be called from anywhere in the project
• celery.py is where the celery app is created and configured, explicitly adding the tasks may be required

Important Notes

• Generate migrations from dev environment and commit them to the repo
• Anything that takes too long to run should be a background task
• There is no need for a .env file to be committed to the repo as the settings.py file is configured to read from the variables defined in railway
• To create a superuser install railway cli and run railway run python manage.py createsuperuser
• Split into apps as much as possible (does not make sense early on but will later on)
• Templates folder outside will be used for base / navbar / footer templates and anything that is not app specific
• Other templates should be inside the app folder with the recommended naming convention of appfolder/templates/app_name/template_name.html (e.g. users/templates/users/login.html)
• static folder outside will be used for base / navbar / footer css and js files and anything that is not app specific
• Other static files should be inside the app folder with the recommended naming convention of appfolder/static/app_name/css/style.css (e.g. users/static/users/css/style.css)
• CSRFTRUSTEDORIGINS might be needed and ifso set to the domain name of the website (e.g. example.com) inside settings.py
