Setting up a local dev environment

Backend

To create a local development setup for passbook, you need the following:

  • Python 3.9
  • pipenv, which is used to manage dependencies, and can be installed with pip install pipenv
  • PostgreSQL (any recent version will do)
  • Redis (any recent version will do)

For PostgreSQL and Redis, you can use the docker-compose file in scripts/. You can also use a native install, if you prefer.

To configure passbook to use the local databases, create a file in the passbook directory called local.env.yml, with the following contents

debug: true
postgresql:
  user: postgres

log_level: debug

Afterwards, you can start passbook by running ./manage.py runserver. Generally speaking, passbook is a Django application.

Most functions and classes have type-hints and docstrings, so it is recommended to install a Python Type-checking Extension in your IDE to navigate around the code.

Frontend

By default, no transpiled bundle of the frontend is included. To build the UI, you need Node 12 or newer.

To build the UI, run these commands:

cd web/
npm i
npm run build

If you want to make changes to the UI, run npm run watch instead.
