A web app for keeping track of budgets, payees, and payments.

This repository contains the server-side Django app, which manages the database and provides the REST API. To get the front-end React app please see budgetmanagerpwa.

To install, run pip install budgetmanager

Create a new Django project (or use an existing project) and update the files below.

  urlpatterns = [
    path('budgetmanager/api/', include('budgetmanager.urls')),
    ...
  ]

  INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'budgetmanager',
    'rest_framework',
    'django_filters',

      )
    }
