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.
Requirements:
- Python 3.6 runtime
- Django 2.0.5
