Please `read the detailed docs `_

This is the working project of the next generation Guillotina server based on asyncio.

Dependencies

------------

* Python >= 3.7

* PostgreSQL >= 9.6

Quickstart

----------

We use pip

.. code-block:: shell

    pip install guillotina

Run PostgreSQL

--------------

If you don't have a PostgreSQL server to play with, you can run one with Docker.

Download and start the Docker container by running

.. code-block:: shell

    make run-postgres

Run the server

--------------

To run the server

.. code-block:: shell

    g

Then...

.. code-block:: shell

    curl http://localhost:8080

Or, better yet, use `Postman `_ to start playing with API.

You can also navigate in your Guillotina server with its built-in web admin interface by visiting http://localhost:8080/+admin/.

Deploy on Heroku

----------------

   :target: https://www.heroku.com/deploy?template=https://github.com/guillotinaweb/guillotina-heroku

Getting started with development

--------------------------------

Using pip (requires Python > 3.7)

.. code-block:: shell

    git clone git@github.com:plone/guillotina.git

    cd guillotina

    python3.7 -m venv .

    ./bin/pip install -r requirements.txt

    ./bin/pip install -r contrib-requirements.txt

    ./bin/pip install -e '.[test]'

    ./bin/pre-commit install

Run tests

---------

We're using `pytest `_

.. code-block:: shell

    ./bin/pytest guillotina

and for test coverage

.. code-block:: shell

    ./bin/pytest --cov=guillotina guillotina/

With file watcher...

.. code-block:: shell

    ./bin/ptw guillotina --runner=./bin/py.test

To run tests with cockroach db

.. code-block:: shell

    USE_COCKROACH=true ./bin/pytest guillotina

Default

-------

Default root access can be done with AUTHORIZATION header : Basic root:root

Docker

------

You can also run Guillotina with Docker!

First, run PostgreSQL

.. code-block:: shell

    docker run --rm \

        -e POSTGRES_DB=guillotina \

        -e POSTGRES_USER=guillotina \

        -p 127.0.0.1:5432:5432 \

        --name postgres \

        postgres:9.6

Then, run Guillotina

.. code-block:: shell

    docker run --rm -it \

        --link=postgres -p 127.0.0.1:8080:8080 \

        plone/guillotina:latest \

        g -c '{"databases": [{"db": {"storage": "postgresql", "dsn": "postgres://guillotina:@postgres/guillotina"}}], "root_user": {"password": "root"}}'

This assumes you have a config.yaml in your current working directory
