Welcome to DjangoGym! After learning the fundamentals of Django - Views, URL Patterns, Admin Panel, Templates, Authentication, Django Signals, Class Based Views - I'm now putting it all together with a little project to create a gym web app. In this project I will use these skills I've learnt as well as explore new features such as many-to-many relationships, the use of the is_staff column in the User model, and much more. I have designed this app with a lot of features, buttons and routes, this is because I want to give myself the chance to practice and learn through a good amount of repetition of simply getting things done in Django. Below is the schema I have designed for this project.

• Backend: Python, Django, PostgreSQL
• Frontend: JavaScript, SortableJS, Bootstrap, CSS, HTML
• Deployment: Docker

Have a quick look at the pages on the website. These screenshots have been taken while logged in as a staff member, meaning all the buttons to add, edit and delete content are present.

Run the following command to clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/shakey0/DjangoGym
cd DjangoGym

Create your virtual environment:

pipenv install
pipenv shell

Install dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Run the following commands to create the dev database: (If you haven't, install and setup PostgreSQL on your machine.)

createdb DjangoGymData
python manage.py migrate

Create a superuser with the username Andrew (remember the capital A):

python manage.py createsuperuser
# Username: Andrew
# Email address: [email protected]
# Password: <YOUR_CHOICE>

Seed the dev database:

python manage.py seed_db

Start the server:

python manage.py runserver

Go to http://localhost:8000/ and log in with the superuser you created! Enjoy!
