https://the-jin-799.github.io/Kerala-COVID19/
A simple website made using React for front end and Django for the backend.
The website shows the basic total report and today's report of COVID19 in Kerala (a state in India).
The frontend of the website is done using a Javascript library called React. No external styling components or UI libraries are used. Everything is styled using basic CSS.
Backend is done using Django where a database is set up which store values of people confirmed positive, recovered and died on that day. The data values are updated per official Kerala government records. REST API is setup from the database from which the values are fetched to the website. The Django is hosted using PythonEveryWhere.
You can fork and clone this repository and create some changes with a database of your own data and can make a COVID19 report website for your own state or place.
Hope you have node and create-react-app installed.
Clone repository to your PC. React files are in keralacovid19 folder. You have to install node modules in that folder. For that open terminal there and run:
npm install
You can see a folder node modules and file package-lock.json if node modules have succesfully installed. To run the project, on terminal run:
npm start
This will start a local development server localhost:3000 on your browser. Now you can make your changes on the component files inside src directory.
Hope you have python virtual environment installed. Create a virtual environment with python3 (make sure that python version is not 3.7, as django is not stable in python3.7). I recomend python3.8 . To install necessary python packages (django, djangorestframework, django-cors-headers), in your virtual environment run:
pip install django djangorestframework django-cors-headers
Clone repository to your PC. django files are in keraladata folder. Change the working directory in the virtual environment to keraladata. Make sure that there is manage.py file in keraladata. In virtual environment run:
python manage.py makemigrations
and
python manage.py migrate
This will create necessary database files. To create admin user (to manage database in project's admin page), in the virtual environment run:
python manage.py createsuperuser
To start the local development server, in virtual environment run:
python manage.py runserver
This will start a local development server localhost:8000 on your browser.In keraladata folder you can find links.txt file. It contains all important url paths in this backend (it has no home page so localhost:8000 will give error, you should append it with relevent paths eg localhost:8000/admin for admin page).
