REST inventory system using Django, django-rest-framework and AngularJS

inventory relies extensively on environment settings which will not work with Apache/mod_wsgi setups. It has been deployed successfully with both Gunicorn/Nginx and even uWSGI/Nginx.

For configuration purposes, the following table maps the 'inventory' environment variables to their Django setting:

The steps below will get you up and running with a local development environment. We assume you have the following installed:

• pip
• virtualenv
• PostgreSQL

First make sure to create and activate a virtualenv, then open a terminal at the project root and install the requirements for local development:

$ pip install -r requirements/local.txt

#for windows users you must install psycopg2 from http://www.stickpeople.com/projects/python/win-psycopg/ delete the pysopg2 module from your virtualenv and then copy the downloaded module manually

Create a local PostgreSQL database:

$ createdb inventory

Run migrate on your new database:

$ python manage.py migrate

You can now run the runserver_plus command:

$ python manage.py runserver_plus

Open up your browser to http://127.0.0.1:8000/ to see the site running locally.

To create a normal user account, just go to Sign Up and fill out the form. Once you submit it, you'll see a "Verify Your E-mail Address" page. Go to your console to see a simulated email verification message. Copy the link into your browser. Now the user's email should be verified and ready to go.

To create an superuser account, use this command:

$ python manage.py createsuperuser

For convenience, you can keep your normal user logged in on Chrome and your superuser logged in on Firefox (or similar), so that you can see how the site behaves for both kinds of users.
