Basic Commands

Setting Up Your Users

• 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 a 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.

Type checks

Running type checks with mypy:

$ mypy wooster_django

Test coverage

To run the tests, check your test coverage, and generate an HTML coverage report:

$ coverage run -m pytest
$ coverage html
$ open htmlcov/index.html

Running tests with pytest

$ pytest

Live reloading and Sass CSS compilation

Email Server

In development, it is often nice to be able to see emails that are being sent from your application. If you choose to use Mailpit when generating the project a local SMTP server with a web interface will be available.

1. Download the latest Mailpit release for your OS.

2. Copy the binary file to the project root.

3. Make it executable:

   $ chmod +x mailpit
   

4. Spin up another terminal window and start it there:

   ./mailpit
   

5. Check out http://127.0.0.1:8025/ to see how it goes.

Now you have your own mail server running locally, ready to receive whatever you send it.
