| 87 | +## ✨ Code-base structure |
| 88 | + |
| 89 | +The project is coded using a simple and intuitive structure presented bellow: |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | +```bash |
| 92 | +< PROJECT ROOT > |
| 93 | + | |
| 94 | + |-- core/ # Implements app configuration |
| 95 | + | |-- settings.py # Defines Global Settings |
| 96 | + | |-- wsgi.py # Start the app in production |

| 138 | + |-- ************************************************************************ |
| 139 | +``` |
| 140 | + |
| 141 | +<br /> |
| 142 | + |
| 143 | +> The bootstrap flow |
| 144 | +
|
| 145 | +- Django bootstrapper `manage.py` uses `core/settings.py` as the main configuration file |
| 146 | +- `core/settings.py` loads the app magic from `.env` file |
| 147 | +- Redirect the guest users to Login page |
| 148 | +- Unlock the pages served by *app* node for authenticated users |
| 149 | + |
| 150 | +<br /> |
| 151 | + |
| 152 | +## ✨ Recompile CSS |
| 153 | + |
| 154 | +To recompile SCSS files, follow this setup: |
| 155 | + |
| 156 | +<br /> |
| 157 | + |
| 158 | +**Step #1** - Install tools |
| 159 | + |
| 160 | +- [NodeJS](https://nodejs.org/en/) 12.x or higher |
| 161 | +- [Gulp](https://gulpjs.com/) - globally |
| 162 | + - `npm install -g gulp-cli` |
| 163 | +- [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/) (optional) |
| 164 | + |
| 165 | +<br /> |
| 166 | + |
| 167 | +**Step #2** - Change the working directory to `assets` folder |
| 168 | + |
| 169 | +```bash |
| 170 | +$ cd apps/static/assets |
| 171 | +``` |
| 172 | + |
| 173 | +<br /> |
| 174 | + |
| 175 | +**Step #3** - Install modules (this will create a classic `node_modules` directory) |
| 176 | + |
| 177 | +```bash |
| 178 | +$ npm install |
| 179 | +// OR |
| 180 | +$ yarn |
| 181 | +``` |
| 182 | + |
| 183 | +<br /> |
| 184 | + |
| 185 | +**Step #4** - Edit & Recompile SCSS files |
| 186 | + |
| 187 | +```bash |
| 188 | +$ gulp scss |
| 189 | +``` |
| 190 | + |
| 191 | +The generated file is saved in `static/assets/css` directory. |
| 192 | + |
| 193 | +<br /> |
| 194 | + |
| 195 | +## ✨ Deployment |
| 196 | + |
| 197 | +The app is provided with a basic configuration to be executed in [Docker](https://www.docker.com/), [Gunicorn](https://gunicorn.org/), and [Waitress](https://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/waitress/en/stable/). |
| 198 | + |
| 199 | +### [Gunicorn](https://gunicorn.org/) |
| 200 | +--- |
| 201 | + |
| 202 | +Gunicorn 'Green Unicorn' is a Python WSGI HTTP Server for UNIX. |
| 203 | + |
| 204 | +> Install using pip |
| 205 | +
|
| 206 | +```bash |
| 207 | +$ pip install gunicorn |
| 208 | +``` |
| 209 | +> Start the app using gunicorn binary |
| 210 | +
|
| 211 | +```bash |
| 212 | +$ gunicorn --bind=0.0.0.0:8001 core.wsgi:application |
| 213 | +Serving on http://localhost:8001 |
| 214 | +``` |
| 215 | + |
| 216 | +Visit `http://localhost:8001` in your browser. The app should be up & running. |
| 217 | + |
| 218 | + |
| 219 | +<br /> |
| 220 | + |
| 221 | +### [Waitress](https://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/waitress/en/stable/) |
| 222 | +--- |
| 223 | + |
| 224 | +Waitress (Gunicorn equivalent for Windows) is meant to be a production-quality pure-Python WSGI server with very acceptable performance. It has no dependencies except ones that live in the Python standard library. |
| 225 | + |
| 226 | +> Install using pip |
| 227 | +
|
| 228 | +```bash |
| 229 | +$ pip install waitress |
| 230 | +``` |
| 231 | +> Start the app using [waitress-serve](https://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/waitress/en/stable/runner.html) |
| 232 | +
|
| 233 | +```bash |
| 234 | +$ waitress-serve --port=8001 core.wsgi:application |
| 235 | +Serving on http://localhost:8001 |
| 236 | +``` |
| 237 | + |
| 238 | +Visit `http://localhost:8001` in your browser. The app should be up & running. |
