In this assignment, you will rebuild Squawker in Django.

• Passes all of the following on Travis CI:
  • The homepage (/) contains:
    • A single form, to post a new squawk (5%)
    • All past squawks (20%)
      • Sorted from newest to oldest (10%)
  • Submitting the form:
    1. Creates a new squawk (20%)
    2. Shows / takes the user back to the homepage (5%)
       • In other words, they should see the updated homepage with the new squawk.
  • Squawks are limited to 140 characters
    • Client-side (5%)
      • Uses HTML5 form validation
    • Server-side (10%)
      • Responds with a status code of 400 if the form is submitted with invalid data.
  • Passes Code Climate checks (5%)
• Works without JavaScript
• Deployed to Heroku at <NETID>-squawker.herokuapp.com (20%)

Visual styling is not considered as part of the score, though feel free to get creative! In other words, feel free to make your site pretty, but not a problem if it isn't.

• Pagination (10%)
  • The squawks are shown 20 at a time
  • There's a Next link to see older squawks, if there are any

• You will need to set up the project dependencies yourself. Add the following to your requirements.txt:

  Django~=1.10.2
  pep8~=1.7.0
  pytest~=3.0.3
  pytest-django~=3.0.0
  pytest-json~=0.4.0
  git+https://github.com/startup-systems/splinter.git@acfac451ee3943e1e155d06249f6ed0aa851b948#egg=splinter[django]
  

• You will set up Django project in your copy of this repository yourself. The easiest way to do this is to run the following from this directory:

  django-admin startproject squawker .

• If your project is named something other than squawker, you will need to modify the DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE value in pytest.ini.

• Run Django with the following from within your virtual machine:

  python3 manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

• Django will use SQLite3 as it's database by default, but you'll have to change this to PostgreSQL ("Postgres") before you deploy to Heroku.

Run the following from this directory:

# run the pytests
pytest --tb short
# run the pep8 checks
pep8
# check the extra credit
pytest --tb short --runxfail

To run locally, see the instructions.
