ProHealth

ProHealth : A Project to improve health in rural areas.

Installation instructions

1. Clone this repo, preferably using ssh clone instead of https, so that you won't be bothered for password everytime you push or pull.

   • git clone git@gitlab.com:TeamADDS/ProHealth.git

2. We use postgresql for database. Installation Guide

   • Depending on the job, you may want to install pgcli or pgadmin4(provides graphical ui).
   • Create database. Open psql (or, pgcli) and enter following sql query.

   CREATE DATABASE prohealth

   If you want other database name to be other than prohealth, you may need to add a environment variable of the database name)

3. cd into this repo(where you cloned it). You will see the following repo structure roughly.

    .
    ├── backend
    ├── .coverage
    ├── env.example
    ├── frontend
    ├── .git
    ├── .gitignore
    ├── .gitlab-ci.yml
    └── README.md
   

   • There's clear separation between backend and frontend.
   • Now create a virtual environment for python and activate.

     • On shell, python -m venv backend/venv

       On Windows if above didn't work, c:\Python36\python -m venv c:\path\to\venv. ^[1]

     • Activate: source backend/venv/bin/activate

       On Windows, either use backend\venv\Scripts\activate.bat on cmd.exe or backend\venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1on PowerShell(default on Windows 10).

     • Test if it's working. which python should return the path having the current directory somewhere in the parent of the path.

4. Install all the requirements (pip install -r backend/requirements/local.txt).

5. Copy file env.example from root of this repo in a new file .env(dot env) in same directory.

   • cp env.example .env

     Warning: Don't delete env.example though.

6. Open the file and change user with database owner(usually the username) and pass with your database password(usually your user password).

   • If you have set the name of db other than prohealth, you need to uncomment the #POSTGRES_DBNAME line and change the value to the db name.

7. cd backend if you are not already in.

8. Make migrations file and then migrate.

   • python manage.py makemigrations
   • python manage.py migrate

   Not working? Maybe you forgot to activate virtual environment?

9. Run test to ensure everything is working.

   • python manage.py test

   Tests failed? It's likely that the setup didn't go well. Maybe, you skipped something.

10. Change directory to frontend directory, from the root of the repo.

11. Install dependencies for frontend and run tests for verifying everything.

    • npm install
    • npm test

    Tests fine? Congratulations. Now, the tedious setup has come to an end.

12. Run node server.

    • npm run start

13. Run backend server from backend directory.

    • python manage.py runserver

14. Now, open localhost:8000.

    Don't want to run two servers? Fine. Not recommended if you are working on frontend. You may lose out the perks that node provides.

    • Build bundle using npm build.
    • Uncomment the line #DJANGO_BUILD_WEBPACK=True
    • Rerun the backend server(running node server not required as it's already built)
    • Visit localhost:8000 as usual.

Development

1. Create an issue before you start working on.
2. Create an WIP merge request and branch for working on that issue.
3. Only work on the issue and don't mix it with others.
4. At least one should review it before merging.
5. Be helpful on other's issues and suggest and discuss potential solutions.
6. Master should be auto-deployable, so code cannot be pushed in it.
7. Pull that using git pull --all and checkout to the new branch(git checkout <branchname>).
