# Django `HTMLX` Material Kit

`Open-Source` sample that uses **Django and HTMLx** for the frontend logic. For newcomers, `Django` is a leading web framework powered by Python and `HTMLx` is a lightweight JS utility library that allows accessing AJAX, CSS Transitions, WebSockets, and Server-Sent Events directly in HTML.
Desing is provided by `Material Kit 2`, a modern Boostrap 5 desing (also free).


> **Features**

- `Up-to-date` Dependencies
- Tech Stack:
- `Django`: manages authentication and routing
- `HTMLx`: manages forms: `Login`, `Register` and `Contact`
- `Bootstrap 5`: UI & presentation layer
- `Auth`: Sign IN, Sign UP
- `Misc`: SQLite DB, SQLAlchemy, Forms Validation


> **Links**

## ✨ Code-base structure

The project is coded using a simple and intuitive structure presented bellow:

```bash
< PROJECT ROOT >
|
|-- core/ # Implements app configuration
| |-- settings.py # Defines Global Settings
| |-- wsgi.py # Start the app in production
| |-- urls.py # Define URLs served by all apps/nodes
|
|-- apps/
| |
| |-- home/ # A simple app that serve HTML files
| | |-- views.py # Serve HTML pages for authenticated users
| | |-- urls.py # Define some super simple routes
| |
| |-- authentication/ # Handles auth routes (login and register)
| | |-- urls.py # Define authentication routes
| | |-- views.py # Handles login and registration
| | |-- forms.py # Define auth forms (login and register)
| |
| |-- static/

| |-- 404-page.html # 404 page
| |-- *.html # All other pages
|
|-- requirements.txt # Development modules - SQLite storage
|
|-- .env # Inject Configuration via Environment
|-- manage.py # Start the app - Django default start script
|
|-- ************************************************************************
```


> The bootstrap flow

- Django bootstrapper `manage.py` uses `core/settings.py` as the main configuration file
- `core/settings.py` loads the app magic from `.env` file
- Redirect the guest users to Login page
- Unlock the pages served by *app* node for authenticated users


## ✨ Recompile CSS

To recompile SCSS files, follow this setup:


**Step #1** - Install tools

- [NodeJS](https://nodejs.org/en/) 12.x or higher
- [Gulp](https://gulpjs.com/) - globally
- `npm install -g gulp-cli`
- [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/) (optional)


**Step #2** - Change the working directory to `assets` folder

```bash
$ cd apps/static/assets
```


**Step #3** - Install modules (this will create a classic `node_modules` directory)

```bash
$ npm install
// OR
$ yarn
```


**Step #4** - Edit & Recompile SCSS files

```bash
$ gulp scss
```

The generated file is saved in `static/assets/css` directory.


## ✨ Deployment

The app is provided with a basic configuration to be executed in [Docker](https://www.docker.com/), [Gunicorn](https://gunicorn.org/), and [Waitress](https://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/waitress/en/stable/).

### [Gunicorn](https://gunicorn.org/)
---

Gunicorn 'Green Unicorn' is a Python WSGI HTTP Server for UNIX.

> Install using pip

```bash
$ pip install gunicorn
```
> Start the app using gunicorn binary

```bash
$ gunicorn --bind=0.0.0.0:8001 core.wsgi:application
Serving on http://localhost:8001
```

Visit `http://localhost:8001` in your browser. The app should be up & running.


### [Waitress](https://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/waitress/en/stable/)
---

Waitress (Gunicorn equivalent for Windows) is meant to be a production-quality pure-Python WSGI server with very acceptable performance. It has no dependencies except ones that live in the Python standard library.

> Install using pip

```bash
$ pip install waitress
```
> Start the app using [waitress-serve](https://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/waitress/en/stable/runner.html)

```bash
$ waitress-serve --port=8001 core.wsgi:application
Serving on http://localhost:8001
```

Visit `http://localhost:8001` in your browser. The app should be up & running.
