This is a Django/React starter project with lots of batteries included. I created it to get started on new projects more quickly and stay up-to-date on the tools I like to use. I'm hoping you'll get something out of it too.

1. Install the following:

   • Command Line Tools package - xcode-select --install
   • Vagrant
   • VirtualBox
   • Homebrew
   • Ansible - brew install ansible
   • Node.js - brew install node@14

2. To start the backend and watch for code changes, run the following in a terminal window:

   git clone https://github.com/johnthedebs/basicproject.git
   cd basicproject
   # OR
   django-admin startproject <project_name> --template https://github.com/johnthedebs/basicproject/archive/main.zip
   cd <project_name>
   
   vagrant up
   vagrant ssh
   runserver
   

3. To build the frontend and watch for code changes, run the following in a second terminal window:

   npm install
   npm start
   

4. Visit localhost:8080 in a browser

Cypress tests with npm run test or npm run test-headless.
