# CMS Management

A management site for the [Claremont MakerSpace](https://claremontmakerspace.org)

## Development

This assumes a relatively recent Linux system.
It should work fine on MacOS, and might work on Windows.

### Python Setup

1. Get Python 3.11 and [PDM](https://pdm.fming.dev/)
2. Run `pdm install`
3. Create `settings.dev.env` with config as required by [./cmsmanage/settings.py](`./cmsmanage/settings.py`)
4. Run `pdm run ./manage.py migrate` to create database tables
   - At present, this will require an annoying amount of manual
     fiddling to create the `JSON_TABLE` views (due to MariaDB bugs)
     unless you run this as the root user for the database.
5. (Optional) If you have access to the production server, you can use real data:
   1. `pdm run ./manage.py dumpdata -o whatever.json` (on the server)
   2. `pdm run ./manage.py loaddata whatever.json` (on your machine)
6. Run `pdm run ./manage.py createsuperuser` to make a user

### JavaScript setup

1. Install NodeJS and [pnpm](https://pnpm.io/installation)
2. Run `pnpm install`

### Running the dev server

- If you don't intend to work on the JavaScript code:
  - `pnpm run build` to build the JS/CSS
  - `pdm run ./manage.py runserver` to start the Django server
- Otherwise:
  - `pnpm run dev` to start the Vite dev server
  - `DJANGO_VITE_DEV_MODE=true pdm run ./manage.py runserver` to start the Django server
