* RateBeers

RateBeers is a very simple, relatively ugly Django application.

** Use Case Description

Using RateBeers, you can vote for your favorite beers!  The homepage

shows a list of popular beers, along with their current likes and

dislikes.

Clicking ‘Like’ or ‘Dislike’ will register your vote.  You can also

click on the title of the beer to view only that beer and send the

link to your friends.

** Installation

If your system has python 2.7 installed, installation should be very easy:

#+BEGIN_SRC shell

git clone 

cd 

sudo easy_install pip

sudo pip install -r requirements.txt

python manage.py syncdb

python manage.py runserver

#+END_SRC

You can now visit [[http://localhost:8000/][http://localhost:8000/]] to view and rate your beers!

** Code overview

RateBeers is written in Python, using the Django framework.  This is a

quick overview of how a Django application works:

*** Models

Models define the data and represent the information stored in the

database.  We have one model, Beer, which is located in

ratebeers/beers/models.py.

*** Views

Views are Python functions that perform an action or calculate a

result in response to an HTTP request.  These are located in

ratebeers/beers/views.py.  They are mapped to specific URLs via

ratebeers/urls.py.

Generally, a view renders a template to generate HTML at the end of

the function.  When it does that, it passes a “context” dictionary to

the template, which provides data that the template can use.

*** Templates

Django templates are just HTML with a little extra syntax.  Anything

inside of {{ }} is calculated using the context provided by the

view and is output into the HTML.  Anything inside {% %} is also

interpreted specially, but not output directly.  {% %} can be used for

for…in loops, etc.

*** Static files

Images, CSS, JavaScripts, etc. are all located in ratebeers/beers/static/.

If you add an item to the static directory, you can get its URL in a

template via {% static path/to/item %}.
