# Development
========================
If you're new to Django, see [Getting Started with Django](https://www.djangoproject.com/start/) for an introduction to the framework.
## Local Setup
* Install Docker <https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/>
* Initialize the application:
```shell
cd src
docker-compose build
```
* Run the server: `docker-compose up`
Press Ctrl-c when you'd like to exit or pass `-d` to run in detached mode.
Visit the running application at [http://localhost:8080](http://localhost:8080).
## Setting Vars
Every environment variable for local development is set in [src/docker-compose.yml](../../src/docker-compose.yml).
Including variables which would be secrets and set via a different mechanism elsewhere.
## Viewing Logs
If you run via `docker-compose up`, you'll see the logs in your terminal.
If you run via `docker-compose up -d`, you can get logs with `docker-compose logs -f`.
You can change the logging verbosity, if needed. Do a web search for "django log level".
## Running tests
Crash course on Docker's `run` vs `exec`: in order to run the tests inside of a container, a container must be running. If you already have a container running, you can use `exec`. If you do not, you can use `run`, which will attempt to start one.
To get a container running:
```shell
cd src
docker-compose build
docker-compose up -d
```
Django's test suite:
```shell
docker-compose exec app ./manage.py test
```
OR
```shell
docker-compose exec app python -Wa ./manage.py test # view deprecation warnings
```
Linters:
```shell
docker-compose exec app ./manage.py lint
```
