Virgool clone

A clone of virgool blog written in django

Installation

first rename the .env.sample to .env and fill it.

with docker

• docker-compose up --build to build the images and run the project in dev mode.

without docker

1. create a virtualenv by running virtualenv -p python3 .venv. if you don't have virtualenv, install it by pip pip install virtualenv
2. activate the virtualenv source .venv/bin/activate in Linux/Mac or .venv\Scripts\activate in Windows.
3. install the dependencies by running pip install -r requirements.txt.
4. migrate the migration files by running python manage.py migrate
5. run the server on localhost by running python manage.py runserver

Endpoints

you can see the project endpoints in /swagger or /redoc

Internationalization

For all texts in project, I used gettext_lazy. so you can run makemessages to translate the texts.

Note that replace lang with your language abbreviation.

with docker

docker-compose exec blog_django python manage.py makemessages -l lang

without docker

python manage.py makemessages -l lang

Then find django.mo file in locale/lang/LC_MESSAGES and fill it by your language.

Compiling messages

It's time to compile the django.mo file to use translated texts.

with docker

docker-compose exec blog_django python manage.py compilemessages

without docker

python manage.py compilemessages

hope to enjoy the project :)
