triple_news

Description

Here is a brief list of the functional features of the triple_news project:

• The project's main page displays the 10 latest news posts. The main page is available to all users. News is displayed in a curtailed form (only the first 15 words are visible).
• Each piece of news has its own page with the full text; user comments are also displayed there.
• Any user can independently register on the website.
• A logged in (authorized) user can leave, edit, and delete their own comments.
• If there are comments to a news post, the number of comments is displayed on the main page under the post.
• The project code contains a list of forbidden words that cannot be used in comments, such as "rascal" and "scoundrel."

To load prepared news after applying migrations, execute this command:

python manage.py loaddata db.json

How to Work With the Repository

To begin your task, copy your repository URL and clone it.

Create a virtual environment

1. Open Visual Studio Code, go to "File" / "Open Folder," and open Dev/triple_news/.
2. Launch the terminal in VS Code and make sure you work from the triple_news/ directory. If you use Windows, make sure Git Bash runs in the terminal, and not through PowerShell or anything else. Run this command:

• Linux/macOS

  python3 -m venv venv

• Windows

  python -m venv venv

The virtual environment will be created in the triple_news/ directory. The venv folder will appear there too and will store all the project dependencies.

Activating the virtual environment

in the console, go to the root directory of the project Dev/triple_news/ and run this command:

• Linux/macOS

  source venv/bin/activate

• Windows

  source venv/Scripts/activate

All commands in the terminal will now be preceded by the (venv) string.

💡 All the following console commands must be run with the working virtual environment.

Refresh pip:

python -m pip install --upgrade pip

Install the dependencies from the requirements.txt:

Run the following command while you are in the Dev/triple_news/ folder:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Using migrations

In the directory with the manage.py file, run the command:

python manage.py migrate

Running the project in dev mode

In the directory with the manage.py file, run the command:

python manage.py runserver

In response to the command, Django will report that the server is running and the project is available at http://127.0.0.1:8000/.
