The website for the https://futurefactory.nl.

Extensive documentation can be found at https://roboteamtwente.github.io/future_factory_website

This website is build with Django as a back-end server and uses a template from Creative Studio, which makes use of NPM and gulpfile.js in order to generate all the files.

Getting started

This project requires a working python installation and NPM.

1. Clone this repository
2. Install the requirements with pip install -r requirements.txt
3. Set environment variables
   • DEBUG should be TRUE during development.
     • This will create a local database.
   • DJANGO_KEY set this to a random string.
   • BETA is deprecated.
4. Run the migrations with python manage.py migrate
5. Create a superuser with python manage.py createsuperuser
6. Run python manage.py runserver

You should now be able to open the local running website at 127.0.0.1 and sign in into the admin environment, located at 127.0.0.1/admin.

Front-end

The front-end is server-side rendered with the Django templating system, however we do use Bootstrap and some JavaScript magic to properly package this application. In order to update the front-end and compress all images use:

1. Move into the static folder.
2. Run npm start build, this will do the following:
   • Compile sass into css
   • Compress css
   • Compress JavaScript
   • Compress images
   • Copy high quality images
   • Move all items into the dist folder in static.

Note: If you want to keep a high quality copy of an image, then prepend its name with high. This image will not be compressed.

Back-end

All the relevant information about the back-end can be found on the corresponding github.io website
