Django-Hackathon-Starter

Django Hackathon Starter

A boilerplate application for Django web applications.

If you've attented hackathons, you already know how much time can be wasted figuring out what language to pick, which web framework to choose, which APIs to incorporate, and figuring out OAuth authentication. Django Hackathon Starter aims to provide these features out of the box, allowing the team to save hours of time getting these pieces together.

Even if you are not using this for a hackathon, Django Hackathon Starter is sure to save any developer hours or even days of development time and can serve as a learning guide.

Getting Started

To get up and running, simply do the following:

$ git clone https://github.com/DrkSephy/django-hackathon-starter.git
$ cd django-hackathon-starter

# Install the requirements
$ pip install -r requirements.txt

# Install bower
$ npm install -g bower
$ bower install
$ mv bower_components/ hackathon_starter/hackathon/static

# Perform database migrations
$ python manage.py makemigrations
$ python manage.py migrate

NOTE: We highly recommend creating a Virtual Environment. Python Virtual Environments allow developers to work in isolated sandboxes and to create separation between python packages installed via pip.

NOTE: To get you up and running quickly, we have provided dummy API keys for use. We highly recommend setting up your own keys and replacing them within settings.py.
