This is a simple Django blog and I am using Function-based views, later I will create advanced blog using Class-base views and upload it to my GitHub.
In this project, the user can create, read, update and delete a blog.
To get this repository, run the following command inside your git enabled terminal.
$ git clone https://github.com/HelloWorldIsNotDefined/Simple-Django-Blog.git
Before installing the required packages, it is recommended to create a virtual environment.
If you don't have the virtual environment installed:
$ python -m pip install virtualenv
Create the Virtual Environment: Run the following command, replacing env with the name you want for your environment:
$ python -m venv env
Activate the Virtual Environment: To activate the environment, use:
-
Windows:
env\scripts\activate -
Mac:
source env/bin/activate
Deactivate the Virtual Environment: When you're done working, you can deactivate the environment with:
deactivate
After installing and activating the virtual environment, run the following command to install all required packages.
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
In the same directory where manage.py is located, run this command to start the server.
$ py manage.py runserver
Go to http://127.0.0.1:8000/ and click Sign up or Login in the navigation bar.
The default superuser is:
- username = admin
- password = admin
Once you're logged in, go to My Blog in the navigation bar, where you can manage your blog.
