• DEBUG: if True the app runs in develoment mode
  • For production value False should be used
• ASSETS_ROOT: used in assets management
  • default value: /static/assets
• OAuth via Github
  • GITHUB_ID=<GITHUB_ID_HERE>
  • GITHUB_SECRET=<GITHUB_SECRET_HERE>

✨ API Generator

This module helps to generate secure APIs using DRF via a simple workflow:

• Edit/add your model in apps/models.py
• Migrate the database:
  • python manage.py makemigrations apps # this will generate the new SQL
  • python manage.py migrate # this will apply the changes
• Update Configuration:
  • core/settings.py, section API_GENERATOR
• Generate the API code:
  • python manage.py generate-api # the new code is saved in apps/api
• Access the API in the browser:
  • /api/MODEL_NAME/

The API is secured using the JWT token provided by /login/jwt/ request (username & password should be provided).

• GET requests are public (GET all, get Item)
• Mutating requests are protected by token generated based on the user credentials (username, pass).

Two POSTMAN Collections are provided in the media directory:

• Books API - that uses PORT *5000 for the api
• Books API 2 - that uses PORT *5085 for the api (default port in Docker)

In case both port are unusable in your environment, feel free to edit the files before POSTMAN import.

✨ Dynamic DataTables

This module helps to generate dynamic view for all models defined in apps/models.py. How to use it:

• Edit/add your model in apps/models.py
• Migrate the database:
  • python manage.py makemigrations # this will generate the new SQL
  • python manage.py migrate # this will apply the changes
• Update Configuration:
  • core/settings.py, section DYNAMIC_DATATB
• Access the dynamic view in the browser:
  • /datatb/MODEL_NAME/

✨ Create Users

By default, the app redirects guest users to authenticate. In order to access the private pages, follow this set up:

• Start the app via flask run
• Access the registration page and create a new user:
  • http://127.0.0.1:8000/register/
• Access the sign in page and authenticate
  • http://127.0.0.1:8000/login/

✨ Code-base structure

The project is coded using a simple and intuitive structure presented below:
