Developing

Running a development server

Developing python files? Move into example directory and run the development server with pipenv.

$ cd example
$ pipenv run python manage.py runserver

Developing static assets? Move into the pluggable app's staticapp directory and start the node development server, which will automatically proxy Django's development server.

$ cd civic_utils/staticapp
$ gulp

Want to not worry about it? Use the shortcut make command.

$ make dev

2. Add a connection URL to the .env file.

DATABASE_URL="postgres://localhost:5432/civic_utils"
