## 🚀 Getting Started

### ✅ Prerequisites

Make sure you have the following installed:

#### **Backend**:

-   Python 3.10+
-   pip
-   virtualenv

#### **Frontend**:

-   Node.js 20+ (recommended version)
-   npm or Yarn

### 🔗 Installation

1. **Create a Virtual Environment**:

    Navigate to your project directory and run the following commands to create and activate a virtual environment:

    ```bash
    python -m venv env
    ```

    **Activate the virtual environment**:

    - On Linux/macOS:
        ```bash
        source env/bin/activate
        ```
    - On Windows:
        ```bash
        .\env\Scripts\activate
        ```

2. **Install the Package**:

    With the virtual environment activated, install the package via pip:

    ```bash
    pip install django-react-jollof
    ```

3. **Run the Setup Command**:

    ```bash
    django-react-jollof cook
    ```

    During the setup, you will be prompted to provide a project name. Choose your desired name, and it will be automatically configured throughout the app, including:

    - App name in the NavBar.
    - The browser tab title for the frontend.

    The command will also:

    - Set up the Django backend and install necessary requirements.
    - Set up the React frontend and install dependencies.
    - Run database migrations.
    - Configure social login (if selected).

---

## Setting Up the Environment

In the `frontend/` directory, create a `.env` file:

```plaintext
VITE_GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=<your_google_client_id>
```

To start the backend server, navigate to the `backend` directory, activate your virtual environment, and run:

```bash
cd backend
source env/bin/activate  # For Linux/macOS
# venv\Scripts\activate  # For Windows
python manage.py runserver
```

The backend will be available at `http://localhost:8000`.

Next, start the frontend development server. Navigate to the `frontend` directory and run:

```bash
cd frontend
npm run dev
```

The React app will be available at `http://localhost:5173`.

---

## 🔑 Authentication Setup

To enable Google login, configure the following in your `.env` files:

**Backend**:

```plaintext
GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=<your_google_client_id>
GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET=<your_google_client_secret>
```

**Frontend**:

```plaintext
VITE_GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=<your_google_client_id>
```

Obtain the credentials from the [Google Developer Console](https://console.cloud.google.com/).

## 🎁 Additional Features

-   **Styling Frameworks**: Choose between Bootstrap and Material UI for the frontend.
-   **API Integration**: Powered by Django REST Framework.
-   **CORS**: Pre-configured for frontend-backend communication.

## 🔄 Development Workflow

Edit backend code in the `backend/` directory and use Django's tools for migrations, testing, and database management. Modify React components in `frontend/src/` and use Vite for hot-reload development.
