Backend for tough-dev.school

Django-based production project, integrated with Tinkoff, Dashamail, Postmark, S3 and telegram. Frontend is built on vue.js in the separate repo.

Configuration

Configuration is stored in src/core/.env, for examples see src/core/.env.ci

Installing on a local machine

This project requires python 3.11. Deps are managed by Poetry.

Install requirements:

poetry install --no-root

Configure postgres and redis. It's convenient to use docker and docker-compose:

docker compose up -d

If you don't have access to de-anonymized db image use postgres:13.6-alpine in docker-compose.yml instead:

postgres:
    image: postgres:13.6-alpine
    ...

Run the server:

cp src/core/.env.ci src/core/.env

poetry run python src/manage.py migrate
poetry run python src/manage.py createsuperuser

make server

Testing:

# run lint
make lint

# run unit tests
make test

Backend Code requirements

Style

• Obey django's style guide.
• Configure your IDE to use flake8 for checking your python code. For running flake8 manualy, do cd src && flake8
• Prefer English over your native language in comments and commit messages.
• Commit messages should contain the unique id of issue they are linked to (refs #100500)
• Every model and a model method should have a docstring.

Code organisation

• KISS and DRY.
• Obey django best practices
• If you want to implement some business logic — make a service for that. Service examples: UserCreator, OrderCreator
• No logic is allowed within the views or templates. Only services and models.
• Use PEP-484 type hints when possible.
• Prefer Manager methods over static methods.
• Do not use signals for business logic. Signals are good only for notification purposes.
• No l10n is allowed in python code, use django translation.
