# {{cookiecutter.project_name}} {{ cookiecutter.description }} [![Built with Cookiecutter Django](https://img.shields.io/badge/built%20with-Cookiecutter%20Django-ff69b4.svg?logo=cookiecutter)](https://github.com/cookiecutter/cookiecutter-django/) [![Black code style](https://img.shields.io/badge/code%20style-black-000000.svg)](https://github.com/ambv/black) {%- if cookiecutter.open_source_license != "Not open source" %} License: {{cookiecutter.open_source_license}} {%- endif %} ## Settings Moved to [settings](http://cookiecutter-django.readthedocs.io/en/latest/settings.html). ## Basic Commands ### Setting Up Your Users - To create a **normal user account**, just go to Sign Up and fill out the form. Once you submit it, you'll see a "Verify Your E-mail Address" page. Go to your console to see a simulated email verification message. Copy the link into your browser. Now the user's email should be verified and ready to go. - To create a **superuser account**, use this command: $ python manage.py createsuperuser For convenience, you can keep your normal user logged in on Chrome and your superuser logged in on Firefox (or similar), so that you can see how the site behaves for both kinds of users. ### Type checks Running type checks with mypy: $ mypy {{cookiecutter.project_slug}} ### Test coverage To run the tests, check your test coverage, and generate an HTML coverage report: $ coverage run -m pytest $ coverage html $ open htmlcov/index.html #### Running tests with pytest $ pytest ### Live reloading and Sass CSS compilation Moved to [Live reloading and SASS compilation](https://cookiecutter-django.readthedocs.io/en/latest/developing-locally.html#sass-compilation-live-reloading). {%- if cookiecutter.use_celery == "y" %} ### Celery This app comes with Celery. To run a celery worker: ``` bash cd {{cookiecutter.project_slug}} celery -A config.celery_app worker -l info ``` Please note: For Celery's import magic to work, it is important *where* the celery commands are run. If you are in the same folder with *manage.py*, you should be right. {%- endif %} {%- if cookiecutter.use_mailhog == "y" %} ### Email Server {%- if cookiecutter.use_docker == "y" %} In development, it is often nice to be able to see emails that are being sent from your application. For that reason local SMTP server [MailHog](https://github.com/mailhog/MailHog) with a web interface is available as docker container. Container mailhog will start automatically when you will run all docker containers. Please check [cookiecutter-django Docker documentation](http://cookiecutter-django.readthedocs.io/en/latest/deployment-with-docker.html) for more details how to start all containers. With MailHog running, to view messages that are sent by your application, open your browser and go to `http://127.0.0.1:8025` {%- else %} In development, it is often nice to be able to see emails that are being sent from your application.

[Download the latest MailHog release](https://github.com/mailhog/MailHog/releases) for your OS. 2. Rename the build to `MailHog`. 3. Copy the file to the project root. 4. Make it executable: $ chmod +x MailHog 5. Spin up another terminal window and start it there: ./MailHog 6. Check out to see how it goes. Now you have your own mail server running locally, ready to receive whatever you send it. {%- endif %} {%- endif %} {%- if cookiecutter.use_sentry == "y" %} ### Sentry Sentry is an error logging aggregator service.
