Have you ever had an idea of what kind of beer you wanted, maybe a dark yellow beer with a medium body and an approximately 5% alcohol content, but you didn’t know what brand would be best linked to your criteria?

Our web application hopes to solve this by asking for user search criteria and returning a list of beers that match their specifications in order from most alike to least alike.

• Scripting: Django templating language (DTL) / JavaScript
• Structure: HTML
• Styling: CSS / Bootstrap

• Server: Heroku
• Database: PostgreSQL (built-in with Django)
• API: Flask definitions for accessing/modifying database content
• Data Structures: List, Queue, Stack

• Django has a templating system called Jinga which allows for the dynamic conditional rendering of HTML files
• All CSS and JS files are contained in a special folder named static where they can be referenced within the HTML file
• Django is responsible for hosting the web application, accessing and modifying our PostgreSQL database, and with the Flask Framework, it can handle API requests so the front-end client can access/modify data from our back-end
• JS is responsible for further manipulation of the HTML Document Object Model (DOM) that cannot be handed by DTL
• CSS and Bootstrap are used for styling

Clone this Git repository and unfreeze the requirements.txt file to gain access to a venv depencency folder.

source venv/bin/activate
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

After updating dependencies on your venv, you MUST re-freeze the requirements.txt file.

source venv/bin/activate
pip3 freeze > requirements.txt

Open a Console program such as Terminal (Mac / Linux) or Windows Powershell (Windows). Use the cd (change directory) and ls (short listing) commands to move into the Git repository. From the root of the project, enter

source venv/bin/activate
cd projectRoot
python3 manage.py runserver

This will activate the localhost server and you will be able to view the application on the port displayed in the Console script.

Note: For this to work, you must have python3 installed on your local machine path.
