🛑 Secure your project

🚩 .gitignore

✔ Add a ".gitignore" file at same level as env folder, and check that it includes ".env" and /env lines.

🔹 Do that before adding your files to staging area, else you will need extra work to unstage files to be able to ignore them.

🔹 On this page you can create "gitignore files" for your projects.

🚩 Python Decouple

💻 To use python decouple in this project, first install it 👇

pip install python-decouple

💻 Go to terminal to update "requirements.txt" 👇

pip freeze > requirements.txt

✔ Create a new file and name as ".env" at same level as env folder

✔ Copy your SECRET_KEY from settings.py into this .env file. Don't forget to remove quotation marks and blanks from SECRET_KEY

SECRET_KEY=-)=b-%-w+0_^slb(exmy*mfiaj&wz6_fb4m&s=az-zs!1^ui7j

✔ Go to "settings.py", make amendments below 👇

from decouple import config

SECRET_KEY = config('SECRET_KEY')

💻 INSTALLING DJANGO REST

💻 Go to terminal 👇

python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate
pip install djangorestframework

✔ Go to "settings.py" and add 'rest_framework' app to INSTALLED_APPS

💻 PostgreSQL Setup

💻 To get Python working with Postgres, you will need to install the “psycopg2” module👇

pip install psycopg2

💻 Go to terminal to update requirements.txt 👇

pip freeze > requirements.txt

✔ Go to settings.py and add '' app to INSTALLED_APPS

🚩 Install Swagger

🔹 Explain a sample API reference documentation

🔹 Swagger is an open source project launched by a startup in 2010. The goal is to implement a framework that will allow developers to document and design APIs, while maintaining synchronization with the code.

🔹 Developing an API requires orderly and understandable documentation.

🔹 To document and design APIs with Django rest framework we will use drf-yasg which generate real Swagger/Open-API 2.0 specifications from a Django Rest Framework API.

📜 You can find the documentation here.

💻 Go to terminal for installation 👇

pip install drf-yasg

💻 Go to terminal to update requirements.txt 👇

pip freeze > requirements.txt

✔ Go to "settings.py" and add 'drf_yasg' app to INSTALLED_APPS

✔ Here is the updated "urls.py" file for swagger. In swagger documentation, those patterns are not up-to-date 👇

from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path
# Three modules for swagger:
from rest_framework import permissions

🔴 SIGNALS 👇

🔹 Django include a “signal dispatcher” which helps decoupled applications get notified when actions occur elsewhere in the framework.

🔹 In nutshell, signals allow certain senders to notify a set of receivers that some action has taken place.

🔹 They’re especially useful when many pieces of code may be interested in the same events.

🔴 Listening to signals 👉 Parameters:

🔹 receiver: The callback function which will be connected to this signal. See Receiver functions for more information.

🔹 sender: Specifies a particular sender to receive signals from. See Connecting to signals sent by specific senders for more information.

🔹 weak: Django stores signal handlers as weak references by default. Thus, if your receiver is a local function, it may be garbage collected. To prevent this, pass weak=False when you call the signal’s connect() method.

🔹 dispatch_uid: A unique identifier for a signal receiver in cases where duplicate signals may be sent. See Preventing duplicate signals for more information.

🚩 Create "signals.py" file under "user" app and add 👇

from django.db.models.signals import post_save
from django.dispatch import receiver
from rest_framework.authtoken.models import Token
from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model

        is_admin = super().has_permission(request, view)
        return request.method in permissions.SAFE_METHODS or is_admin

🚩 Create "pagination.py" file under "api" folder in the "blog" app and add 👇

from rest_framework.pagination import LimitOffsetPagination

#! For 6 posts to appear on each page 👇
class CustomLimitOffsetPagination(LimitOffsetPagination):
    default_limit = 6

🚩 Go to "blog/api/urls.py" and add the path 👇

from .views import (
    CategoryView,
    BlogPostView,
    BlogPostDetailView,
    CommentView,
    LikeView
)

🚩 Create "userAllPost" so that a user can see their own created posts in one place in "blog/api/views.py" 👇

class UserAllPosts(generics.ListAPIView):
    queryset = BlogPost.objects.all()
    serializer_class = BlogPostSerializer
    permission_classes = [IsPostOwnerOrReadOnly]

    def get_queryset(self):
        author = self.request.user
        queryset = BlogPost.objects.filter(author=author)
        return queryset

🚩 Update the BlogPostView()'s "queryset" 👇

    queryset = BlogPost.objects.filter(status="p")

🚩 Add "all-posts" path to "urls.py" in "blog/api/" 👇

    path("all-posts/", UserAllPosts.as_view()),

FOR REACT CONFIGURATION

💻 Install "cors-headers" for connecting with Frontend 👇

✔ DJANGO-CORS-HEADERS ✔

---

🔑 A Django App that adds Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) headers to responses.

🔑 This allows in-browser requests to your Django application from other origins.

🔑 Adding CORS headers allows your resources to be accessed on other domains.

🔑 It's important you understand the implications before adding the headers, since you could be unintentionally opening up your site's private data to others.

💻 To install cors-headers 👇

pip install django-cors-headers

✔ Add 'corsheaders' to "INSTALLED_APPS" in "settings.py" file.

🚩 You will also need to add a middleware class to listen in on responses 👇

MIDDLEWARE = [
    ...,
    "corsheaders.middleware.CorsMiddleware",
    ...,
]

🚩 To allow all origins; add 👇

CORS_ALLOW_ALL_ORIGINS=True

🚩 Add a list of HTTP verbs that are allowed for the actual request 👇

CORS_ALLOW_METHODS = [
    "DELETE",
    "GET",
    "OPTIONS",
    "PATCH",
    "POST",
    "PUT",
]

💻 Runserver 👇

python manage.py runserver

💻 Open the React Project and start it 👇

yarn start
