How to Run locally ?

- Install Dependencies after creating and activating virtual environement

    $ pip install -r requirements/local.txt

- Create .env file in config and put variables for Secret Key and Database (PostgreSQL) as created in sample.env file


    $ python manage.py makemigrations
    $ python manage.py migrate

- Install dependencies in frontend app using following commands in separate terminal
- First make sure you have installed Node.js, I used v15.10.0 while developing this setup. For More info https://nodejs.org/en/
- Then run following commands in dir where the package.json file is located

    $ npm install
    $ npm run dev

- After that you should keep running this terminal as this is automatically compiling the react.js code in single file main.js
- Then Run the following command in previous terminal to load frontend react app on django server

    $ python manage.py runserver
