## Demo
2017-11-30 00:28:43 +00:00
A [demo of Baby Buddy ](http://demo.baby-buddy.net ) is available on Heroku.
2017-10-23 14:38:52 +00:00
The demo instance resets every hour. Login credentials are:
- Username: `admin`
- Password: `admin`
2017-10-23 09:25:56 +00:00
2017-10-24 00:33:28 +00:00
## Deployment
2018-02-25 06:13:39 +00:00
The default user name and password for Baby Buddy is `admin` /`admin`. For any
2017-11-30 00:28:43 +00:00
deployment, **log in and change the default admin password immediately** .
Many of Baby Buddy's configuration settings can be controlled using environment
variables - see [Configuration ](#configuration ) for detailed information.

### AWS Elastic Beanstalk
2017-10-24 00:33:28 +00:00
2017-11-16 19:24:27 +00:00
A basic [Elastic Beanstalk ](https://aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/ )
2018-02-25 06:13:39 +00:00
configuration is provided in `.ebextensions/babybuddy.config` . The steps
2020-01-19 16:49:45 +00:00
below are a rough guide to deployment. See [Working with Python ](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/create-deploy-python-apps.html )
2017-11-16 19:24:27 +00:00
for detailed information.
2017-10-24 00:33:28 +00:00
2017-11-16 19:24:27 +00:00
1. Clone/download the Baby Buddy repo
2017-11-15 18:08:13 +00:00
2020-02-07 06:16:57 +00:00
git clone https://github.com/babybuddy/babybuddy.git
2017-11-16 19:24:27 +00:00
1. Enter the cloned/downloaded directory
cd babybuddy
2018-02-25 06:13:39 +00:00
2020-02-02 22:14:27 +00:00
1. Set (at least) the `SECRET_KEY` environment value in `.ebextensions/babybuddy.config`
*See [Configuration ](#configuration ) for other settings that can be
controlled by environment variables.
2017-11-16 19:24:27 +00:00
1. [Create an IAM user ](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_users_create.html ) in AWS with EB, EC2, RDS and S3 privileges.
1. Initialize the Elastic Bean application (using the IAM user from the previous step)
2017-11-29 20:02:14 +00:00
eb init -p python-3.6
2018-02-25 06:13:39 +00:00
2017-11-16 19:24:27 +00:00
1. Create/deploy the environment! :rocket:
eb create -db -db.engine postgres
2018-02-25 06:13:39 +00:00
The create command will also do an initial deployment. Run `eb deploy` to
2017-11-16 19:24:27 +00:00
redeploy the app (e.g. if there are errors or settings are changed).
2017-11-15 18:08:13 +00:00
2017-11-24 19:39:20 +00:00
### Docker
2020-02-02 22:14:27 +00:00
A Docker deployment requires [Docker Engine ](https://www.docker.com/ ) v18.06.0+
and [Docker Compose ](https://docs.docker.com/compose/ ) v1.22.0+ to create two
2020-02-04 19:30:19 +00:00
containers: one for the database and one for the application.
2017-12-01 03:33:51 +00:00
2020-02-04 19:30:19 +00:00
The example `docker-compose.example.yml` file provided in this repository is
intended for production deployments. Baby Buddy is deployed to Docker Hub as
2020-02-07 19:55:36 +00:00
[babybuddy/babybuddy ](https://hub.docker.com/r/babybuddy/babybuddy ) so this is
the only file needed for a Docker deployment with Docker Compose.
2017-11-24 19:39:20 +00:00
2020-11-05 19:23:33 +00:00
A secondary example file `docker-compose.example.sqlite.yml` is also available
for a simpler SQLite-based deployment (the default example users PostgreSQL).
1. Copy the raw content of either `docker-compose.example.yml` or `docker-compose.example.sqlite.yml`
into a new file named `docker-compose.yml`
2020-11-05 23:37:04 +00:00
wget -O docker-compose.yml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/babybuddy/babybuddy/master/docker-compose.example.yml
2020-11-05 19:23:33 +00:00
*or*
2020-11-05 23:37:04 +00:00
wget -O docker-compose.yml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/babybuddy/babybuddy/master/docker-compose.example.sqlite.yml
2020-11-05 19:23:33 +00:00
1. Within `docker-compose.yml` , at the very least, set the `ALLOWED_HOSTS` and `SECRET_KEY` variables under
2020-02-04 19:30:19 +00:00
`services:app:environment` .
2018-02-25 06:13:39 +00:00
2020-11-05 19:23:33 +00:00
*See [Configuration](#configuration) for other settings that can be controlled by environment variables.*
2020-02-02 22:14:27 +00:00
2017-11-26 19:02:57 +00:00
1. Build/run the application
2017-11-24 19:39:20 +00:00
2017-11-26 19:02:57 +00:00
docker-compose up -d
2018-02-25 06:13:39 +00:00
The app should now be locally available at
[http://127.0.0.1:8000 ](http://127.0.0.1:8000 ). See
2020-01-19 16:49:45 +00:00
[Docker's "Get Started" documentation ](https://docs.docker.com/get-started/ )
2019-02-03 19:24:30 +00:00
for detailed information about deployment methods with Docker.
2017-11-24 19:39:20 +00:00
2017-11-16 19:24:27 +00:00
### Heroku
[![Deploy ](https://www.herokucdn.com/deploy/button.svg )](https://heroku.com/deploy)
For manual deployments to Heroku without using the deploy button, make sure to
2018-11-06 02:38:38 +00:00
create the following settings before pushing:
2017-11-16 19:24:27 +00:00
heroku config:set DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=babybuddy.settings.heroku
heroku config:set SECRET_KEY=< CHANGE TO SOMETHING RANDOM >
2018-11-06 02:38:38 +00:00
heroku config:set DISABLE_COLLECTSTATIC=1
2020-02-14 18:49:18 +00:00
heroku config:set TIME_ZONE=< DESIRED DEFAULT TIMEZONE >
2018-02-25 06:13:39 +00:00
See [Configuration ](#configuration ) for other settings that can be controlled
2017-11-30 00:28:43 +00:00
by `heroku config:set` .
2018-02-25 06:13:39 +00:00
2020-01-31 04:46:23 +00:00
And after an initial push, execute the following commands:
heroku run python manage.py migrate
heroku run python manage.py createcachetable
2017-11-20 16:12:09 +00:00

## Configuration
2017-12-01 03:54:50 +00:00
Environment variables can be used to define a number of configuration settings.
Baby Buddy will check the application directory structure for an `.env` file or
take these variables from the system environment. **System environment variables
take precedence over the contents of an `.env` file.**

2017-11-29 20:02:14 +00:00
### `ALLOWED_HOSTS`
2017-11-30 00:28:43 +00:00
*Default: * (any)*
2017-11-29 20:02:14 +00:00
2018-02-25 06:13:39 +00:00
This option may be set to a single host or comma-separated list of hosts
2017-11-30 00:28:43 +00:00
(without spaces). This should *always* be set to a specific host or hosts in
production deployments.
2017-11-29 20:02:14 +00:00
2020-01-19 16:49:45 +00:00
See also: [Django's documentation on the ALLOWED_HOSTS setting ](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/ref/settings/#allowed-hosts )
2017-11-29 20:02:14 +00:00
### `ALLOW_UPLOADS`
2017-11-30 00:28:43 +00:00
*Default: True*
2017-11-29 20:02:14 +00:00
2018-02-25 06:13:39 +00:00
Whether or not to allow uploads (e.g. of Child photos). For some deployments
2020-01-19 16:49:45 +00:00
(AWS, Heroku) this setting will default to False due to the lack of available
persistent storage.
2017-11-29 20:02:14 +00:00
2018-03-04 23:22:20 +00:00
### `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`
*Default: None*
Required to access your AWS S3 bucket, should be uniquely generated per bucket
for security.
See also: [`AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME` ](#aws_storage_bucket_name )
### `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`
*Default: None*
Required to access your AWS S3 bucket, should be uniquely generated per bucket
for security.
See also: [`AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME` ](#aws_storage_bucket_name )
### `AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME`
*Default: None*
If you would like to use AWS S3 for storage on ephemeral storage platforms like
Heroku you will need to create a bucket and add it's name. See django-storages'
2020-01-19 16:49:45 +00:00
[Amazon S3 documentation ](https://django-storages.readthedocs.io/en/latest/backends/amazon-S3.html ).
2018-03-04 23:22:20 +00:00
2017-11-29 20:02:14 +00:00
### `DEBUG`
2017-11-30 00:28:43 +00:00
*Default: False*

## Import/Export
Baby Buddy uses the [django-import-export application ](https://django-import-export.readthedocs.io/ )
to provide import and export functionality.
### Export
Export actions are accessible from Baby Buddy's "Database Admin" area (the
Django admin interface). For example, to export all diaper change entries from
Baby Buddy as an Excel file:
1. Log in as a user with "staff" access.
1. From the user menu, click "Database Admin" under the "Site" heading.
1. Click "Diaper Changes" in the list of data types.
1. Click the "Export" button above the filters list on the right side of the
screen.
1. Select the "xlxs" format and click "Submit"
Note: any applied filters will also filter the exported entries. Alternatively,
on the Diaper Change list screen (step 3 above), it is possible to select one
or many individual records and select "Export selected Diaper Changes" from the
"Actions" list.
### Import
Import actions are accessible from Baby Buddy's "Database Admin" area (the
Django admin interface). From the list of entry types in the Database Admin,
select the type to import and click the "Import" button on the list page. The
import screen for a particular type will list the fields generally expected to
be present for an import. Multiple file types -- including csv, xlsx, etc. --
are supported for the import.
The import pages do not provide *detailed* information about the required data
and formats. When an import is attempted, all rows will be checked for errors
and any issues will be reported on screen and will need to be resolved before
the import can be performed.
See the [example import files ](core/tests/import ) used for tests to get an idea
of the expected data format.
2017-12-05 21:46:15 +00:00
## API
2020-01-19 16:49:45 +00:00
Baby Buddy uses the [Django REST Framework ](https://www.django-rest-framework.org/ )
2017-12-05 21:46:15 +00:00
(DRF) to provide a REST API.
2017-12-06 00:43:57 +00:00
The only requirement for (most) requests is that the `Authorization` header is
2018-02-25 06:13:39 +00:00
set as described in the [Authentication ](#authentication ) section. The one
2017-12-06 00:43:57 +00:00
exception is the `/api` endpoint, which lists all available endpoints.
2018-02-25 06:13:39 +00:00
Currently, the following endpoints are available for `GET` , `OPTIONS` , and
2017-12-06 00:43:57 +00:00
`POST` requests:
- `/api/children/`
- `/api/changes/` (Diaper Changes)
- `/api/feedings/`
- `/api/notes/`
- `/api/sleep/`
2019-05-17 05:19:40 +00:00
- `/api/temperature/`
2017-12-06 00:43:57 +00:00
- `/api/timers/`
- `/api/tummy-times/`
- `/api/weight/`
2017-12-05 21:46:15 +00:00
### Authentication
2020-01-19 16:49:45 +00:00
By default, the [TokenAuthentication ](https://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/authentication/#tokenauthentication )
and [SessionAuthentication ](https://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/authentication/#sessionauthentication )
2017-12-05 21:46:15 +00:00
classes are enabled. Session authentication covers local API requests made by
2018-02-25 06:13:39 +00:00
the application itself. Token authentication allows external requests to be
2017-12-05 21:46:15 +00:00
made.
2018-02-25 06:13:39 +00:00
:exclamation: **In a production environment, token authentication should only
2017-12-05 21:46:15 +00:00
be used for API calls to an `https` endpoint.** :exclamation:
2018-02-25 06:13:39 +00:00
Each user is automatically assigned an API key that can be used for token
2017-12-05 21:46:15 +00:00
authentication. This key can be found on the User Settings page for the logged
in the user. To use a key for an API request, set the request `Authorization`
header to `Token <user-key>` . E.g.
Authorization: Token 2h23807gd72h7hop382p98hd823dw3g665g56
2018-02-25 06:13:39 +00:00
2017-12-05 21:46:15 +00:00
If the `Authorization` header is not set or the key is not valid, the API will
return `403 Forbidden` with additional details in the response body.
2020-06-19 21:56:05 +00:00
### Schema
2020-06-19 22:13:01 +00:00
API schema information in the [OpenAPI format ](https://swagger.io/specification/ )
can be found in the `openapi-schema.yml` file in the project root. A live
version is also available at the `/api/scehma` path of a running instance.
2020-06-19 21:56:05 +00:00
2017-12-06 00:43:57 +00:00
### `GET` Method
#### Request
The `limit` and `offset` request parameters can be used to limit
and offset the results set respectively. For example, the following request
will return five diaper changes starting from the 10th diaper change entry:
curl -X GET 'https://[...]/api/changes/?limit=5& offset=10' -H 'Authorization: Token [...]'
{
"count": < int > ,
"next": "https://[...]/api/changes/?limit=5& offset=15",
"previous": "https://[...]/api/changes/?limit=5& offset=5",
"results": [...]
}
2018-02-25 06:13:39 +00:00
Field-based filters for specific endpoints can be found the in the `filters`
2017-12-06 00:43:57 +00:00
field of the `OPTIONS` response for specific endpoints.
2017-12-05 21:46:15 +00:00
2020-03-14 03:22:58 +00:00
Single entries can also be retrieved by adding the ID (or in the case of a
Child entry, the slug) of a particular entry:
curl -X GET https://[...]/api/children/gregory-hill/ -H 'Authorization: Token [...]'
{
"id":3,
"first_name":"Gregory",
"last_name":"Hill",
"birth_date":"2020-02-11",
"slug":"gregory-hill",
"picture":null
}
curl -X GET https://[...]/api/sleep/1/ -H 'Authorization: Token [...]'
{
"id":480,
"child":3,
"start":"2020-03-12T21:25:28.916016-07:00",
"end":"2020-03-13T01:34:28.916016-07:00",
"duration":"04:09:00",
"nap":false
}
2017-12-06 00:43:57 +00:00
#### Response
2017-12-05 21:46:15 +00:00
Returns JSON data in the response body in the following format:
{
"count":< int > ,
"next":< url > ,
"previous":< url > ,
"results":[{...}]
}
2018-02-25 06:13:39 +00:00
2017-12-05 21:46:15 +00:00
- `count` : Total number of records (*in the database*, not just the response).
- `next` : URL for the next set of results.
- `previous` : URL for the previous set of results.
- `results` : An array of the results of the request.
2020-03-14 03:22:58 +00:00
For single entries, returns JSON data in the response body keyed by model field
names. This will vary between models.
2017-12-06 00:43:57 +00:00
### `OPTIONS` Method
2017-12-05 21:46:15 +00:00
2017-12-06 00:43:57 +00:00
#### Request
All endpoints will respond to an `OPTIONS` request with detailed information
about the endpoint's purpose, parameters, filters, etc.
#### Response
Returns JSON data in the response body describing the endpoint, available
2018-02-25 06:13:39 +00:00
options for `POST` requests, and available filters for `GET` requests. The
2017-12-06 00:43:57 +00:00
following example describes the `/api/children` endpoint:
2017-12-05 21:46:15 +00:00
{
"name": "Child List",
"renders": [
"application/json",
"text/html"
],
"parses": [
"application/json",
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
"multipart/form-data"
],
"actions": {
"POST": {
"id": {
"type": "integer",
"required": false,
"read_only": true,
"label": "ID"
},
[...]
}
2017-12-06 00:43:57 +00:00
},
"filters": [
"first_name",
"last_name",
"slug"
]
2017-12-05 21:46:15 +00:00
}
2017-12-06 00:43:57 +00:00
### `POST` Method
#### Request
2018-02-25 06:13:39 +00:00
To add new entries for a particular endpoint, send a `POST` request with the
entry data in JSON format in the request body. The `Content-Type` header for
2017-12-06 00:43:57 +00:00
`POST` request must be set to `application/json` .
2018-02-25 06:13:39 +00:00
Regular sanity checks will be performed on relevant data. See the `OPTIONS`
response for a particular endpoint for details on required fields and data
2017-12-06 00:43:57 +00:00
formats.
2020-03-14 20:28:15 +00:00
#### Timer Field
The "timer" field is a special field available for `POST` operations to model
endpoints supporting duration (Feeding, Sleep, Tummy Time). When the "timer"
field is set in the request, the `start` and `end` fields will be filled in
automatically using the `start` and `end` values *from the Timer* (the Timer
will be stopped if it is currently running).
Additionally, if the Timer has a Child relationship, the `child` field will be
filled in automatically use the `child` value from the Timer.
If the "timer" field is set, it's values will **always override** the relevant
fields in the request. E.g. if a `POST` request is sent with both the `timer`
and `end` fields, the value for the `end` field will be ignored and replaced by
the Timer's `end` value. The same applies for `start` and `child` . These fields
can all be left out of the request when the Timer is provided, otherwise they
are required fields.
2017-12-06 00:43:57 +00:00
#### Response
2017-12-05 21:46:15 +00:00
Returns JSON data in the response body describing the added/updated instance or
error details if errors exist. Errors are keyed by either the field in error or
2020-01-19 16:49:45 +00:00
the general string `non_field_errors` (usually when validation involves
2017-12-05 21:46:15 +00:00
multiple fields).
2020-03-14 03:22:58 +00:00
### `PATCH` Method
#### Request
To update existing entries, send a `PATCH` request to the single entry endpoint
for the entry to be updated. The `Content-Type` header for `PATCH` request must
be set to `application/json` . For example, to update a Diaper Change entry with
ID 947 to indicate a "wet" diaper only:
curl -X PATCH \
-H 'Authorization: Token [...]' \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"wet":1, "solid":0}' \
https://[...]/api/changes/947/
Regular sanity checks will be performed on relevant data. See the `OPTIONS`
response for a particular endpoint for details on required fields and data
formats.
#### Response
Returns JSON data in the response body describing the added/updated instance or
error details if errors exist. Errors are keyed by either the field in error or
the general string `non_field_errors` (usually when validation involves
multiple fields).
### `DELETE` Method
#### Request
To delete an existing entry, send a `DELETE` request to the single entry
endpoint to be deleted. For example, to delete a Diaper Change entry with ID
947:
curl -X DELETE https://[...]/api/changes/947/ -H 'Authorization: Token [...]'
#### Response
Returns an empty response with HTTP status code `204` on success, or a JSON
encoded error detail if an error occurred (e.g. `{"detail":"Not found."}` if
the requested ID does not exist).
