Prototype Appliction

This is designed to test out various components we might use for a redesign of FAIRsharing to use Python 3, Django 2 and GraphQL rather than REST. To set this up:

1. Create a virtualenv with Python 3 (e.g. virtualenv --python=python3 prototype) and activate it.
2. Install the various packages with pip install -r requirements.txt.
3. Create a postgres database, put the configuration in secrets.py, and then run manage.py migrate. You may also need to run makemigrations and migrate again to add the model(s) in models.py.
4. Create some models for testing with python manage.py loadtestdata fairsharing.FairsharingRecord:5.
5. Create an admin user with manage.py createsuperuser.

Fun with GraphQL

Here's a tutorial:

Stuff To Do

Lots, for example:

1. Proper user authorisation.
2. Fix this so it actually works (e.g. tests).
