## Development setup

There are two ways to setup the development environment.

- Using the Docker Compose setup provided in this repository.
- Using [hatch](https://hatch.pypa.io/) in your host OS.

### Using Docker Compose

Working with the Docker Compose setup is made easy with the `Makefile` provided in the repository.

#### Requirements

- Docker
- docker compose plugin

#### Setup

1. Setup .env file

    An example .env file is provided in the repository. You can copy it to .env file using the following command:

    ```bash
    cp .env.example .env
    ```

    The default values in the .env file are suitable for the docker-compose setup.

2. Migrate

    ```bash
    make migrate
    ```

3. Run the development server

    ```bash
    make run
    ```

#### Building and running other things

```bash
# Build the containers
make build

# Create a superuser
make createsuperuser

# Create Django migrations (after this, maybe you need to change file permissions in volume)
make makemigrations
```

### Using hatch

#### Requirements

- Python 3.12 or higher
- [hatch](https://hatch.pypa.io/) (Recommended way to install is using `pipx install hatch`)
- A running PostgreSQL server

#### Setup

1. Setup .env file

    An example .env file is provided in the repository. You can copy it to .env file using the following command:

    ```bash
    cp .env.example .env
    ```

    Edit the .env file and set the values for the environment variables, especially the database variables.

2. Run migrate

    ```bash
    hatch run dev:migrate
    ```

3. Run the development server

   ```bash
   hatch run dev:server
   ```

### Updating requirements

We use hatch-pip-compile. That means we have a set of loosely defined `dependencies` in `pyproject.toml` and then we can keep the exactly pinned version in our `requirements.txt` (auto-generated).

To generate `requirements.txt` and `requirements/requirements-dev.txt`, run the following command:

```bash
# Build requirements.txt etc
make requirements

# Build Docker image with new Python requirements
make build
```
