It is an online interface for a library (with a few social-network features) and allows users to:
- borrow/return books (like in real library) (a few real books are present in the system)
- create circles of friends (like in google+ or facebook) (add to friends and unfriend)
- share with friends books' quotation (in twitter style), borrowed books
- register/sign in via facebook and webpage
- save quotations from books
There is also group of librarians with additional permissions:
- custom (outside of django admin) CRUD for authors, books' publishers, books etc.
- librarian can mark that book has been returned to library
Front-end is designed using Twitter Bootstrap and filled out with sample data (mostly lorem ipsum). A few animations/effects are programmed using jQuery.
For facebook integration I used facepy and fandjango.
Application is provided with test (basic ones, unittests and selenium).
Data validations is done using (mostly) modelForms.
Books/Authors/Publishers/Users search is made using django_tables2. It allows user to sort results using selected criteria, watch selected amount of entries on page (pagination) etc. I have used user's images generated by gravator.
Exemplary system accounts:
librarian account:
- login: assistant
- pass: 12345
- (do not worry, I have database backup ;))
standard user
- login: user1
- pass: 12345
I intended to document every fragment of code that could be unclear. Enclosed is documentation created by sphinx.
Run:
python manage.py runserver 127.0.0.1:8888(do not forget to change database settings if you want to run app locally) or simply visit website: http://django-library.herokuapp.com/
