[Deprecated] SPC Portal

A portal for handling Student Placements

Note: The site is currently depracted and not in use. Currently used repo: devlup-labs/cdc-portal

Purpose

A portal for handling Student Placements

Building: Quick start with Visual Studio Code Remote - Containers

This helps you pull and build quickly - dev containers launch the project inside a container with all the tooling required for a consistent and seamless developer experience.

This means you don't have to install and configure your dev environment as the container handles this for you.

To get started install VSCode and the Remote Containers extensions

Clone the repo and launch code:

git clone https://github.com/anshulahuja98/spc_portal/
cd spc_portal
code .

Once VSCode launches run CTRL+SHIFT+P -> Remote-Containers: Reopen in container and then use the integrated terminal to run:

• Make database migrations

  python3 manage.py makemigrations student
  python3 manage.py migrate student
  python3 manage.py makemigrations
  python3 manage.py migrate
  

• Create a superuser

  python manage.py createsuperuser
  

• Run development server on localhost

  python manage.py runserver
  

Note: The first time you run the container it will take some time to build and install the tooling. The image will be cached so this is only required the first time.

Building: Locally directly
