## Demo

A [demo of Baby Buddy](http://demo.baby-buddy.net) is available on Heroku.
The demo instance resets every hour. Login credentials are:

- Username: `admin`
- Password: `admin`

## Deployment

The default user name and password for Baby Buddy is `admin`/`admin`. For any
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

A basic [Elastic Beanstalk](https://aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/)
configuration is provided in `.ebextensions/babybuddy.config`.   The steps
below are a rough guide to deployment. See [Working with Python](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/create-deploy-python-apps.html)
for detailed information.

1. Clone/download the Baby Buddy repo

        git clone https://github.com/cdubz/babybuddy.git

1. Enter the cloned/downloaded directory

        cd babybuddy

1. Change the `SECRET_KEY` value to something random in `.ebextensions/babybuddy.config`

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)

        eb init -p python-3.6

1. Create/deploy the environment! :rocket:

        eb create -db -db.engine postgres

The create command will also do an initial deployment. Run `eb deploy` to
redeploy the app (e.g. if there are errors or settings are changed).

### Docker

A Docker deploy requires [Docker](http://docker.com/) and
[Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/overview/) to create two
containers - one for the database and one for the application. Baby Buddy uses a
[multi-stage build](https://docs.docker.com/engine/userguide/eng-image/multistage-build/),
which requires Docker version 17.05 or newer.

1. Copy the `docker.env.example` to `docker.env` and set the `ALLOWED_HOSTS` and
`SECRET_KEY` variables within

        cp docker.env.example docker.env
        editor docker.env

    *See [Configuration](#configuration) for other settings that can be
    controlled by environment variables added to the `docker.env` file.*

1. Build/run the application

        docker-compose up -d

1. Initialize the database *(first run/after updates)*

        docker-compose exec app python manage.py migrate

1. Initialize static assets *(first run/after updates)*

        docker-compose exec app python manage.py collectstatic

The app should now be locally available at
[http://127.0.0.1:8000](http://127.0.0.1:8000). See
[Get Started, Part 6: Deploy your app](https://docs.docker.com/get-started/part6/)
for detailed information about how to deployment methods with Docker.

### Nanobox

An example [Nanobox](https://nanobox.io/) configuration, `boxfile.yml`, is
provided with Baby Buddy. The steps below are a rough guide to deployment. See
[Create and Deploy a Custom Django App](https://guides.nanobox.io/python/django/)
for detailed information about Nanobox's deployment and configuration process.

1. Clone/download the Baby Buddy repo

        git clone https://github.com/cdubz/babybuddy.git

1. Enter the cloned/downloaded directory

        cd babybuddy

1. Add the `SECRET_KEY` and `DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE` environment variables

        nanobox evar add DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=babybuddy.settings.nanobox
        nanobox evar add SECRET_KEY=<CHANGE TO SOMETHING RANDOM>

    *See [Configuration](#configuration) for other settings that can be
    controlled by environment variables.*

1. Deploy! :rocket:

        nanobox deploy

### 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
create two settings before pushing using `heroku config:set`:

    heroku config:set DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=babybuddy.settings.heroku
    heroku config:set SECRET_KEY=<CHANGE TO SOMETHING RANDOM>

See [Configuration](#configuration) for other settings that can be controlled
by `heroku config:set`.

### Manual

There are a number of ways to deploy Baby Buddy manually to any server/VPS.
The application can run fine in low memory (below 1GB) situations, however a
32-bit operating system is recommended in such cases. This is primarily
because the build process can be memory intensive and cause excessive memory
usage on 64-bit systems. If all fails, assets can be built on a local machine
and then uploaded to a server.

#### Requirements

- Python 3.4+, pip, pipenv
- Web server ([nginx](http://nginx.org/), [Apache](http://httpd.apache.org/), etc.)
- Application server ([uwsgi](http://projects.unbit.it/uwsgi), [gunicorn](http://gunicorn.org/), etc.)
- Database ([sqlite](https://sqlite.org/), [Postgres](https://www.postgresql.org/), [MySQL](https://www.mysql.com/), etc.)
- NodeJS 8.x and NPM 5.x (for building assets)
- Gulp (for building assets)

#### Example deployment

*This example assumes a 512MB VPS instance with Ubuntu 16.04 **x32**.* It uses
Python 3.x, nginx, uwsgi and sqlite and should be sufficient for a few users
(e.g. two parents and 1+ child).

1. Install Python 3.x, pip, nginx and uwsgi

        sudo apt-get install python3 python3-pip nginx uwsgi uwsgi-plugin-python3

1. Install pipenv

        sudo -H pip install pipenv

1. Install NodeJS, NPM and Gulp

        curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo -E bash -
        sudo apt-get install nodejs
        sudo npm install -g gulp-cli

1. Set up directories and files

        sudo mkdir /var/www/babybuddy
        sudo chown user:user /var/www/babybuddy
        mkdir -p /var/www/babybuddy/data/media
        sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/babybuddy/data
        git clone https://github.com/cdubz/babybuddy.git /var/www/babybuddy/public

1. Move in to the application folder

        cd /var/www/babybuddy/public

1. Initiate the Python environment

        pipenv --three --dev

1. Build static assets

        npm install
        gulp build

1. Create a production settings file and set the ``SECRET_KEY`` and ``ALLOWED_HOSTS`` values

        cp babybuddy/settings/production.example.py babybuddy/settings/production.py
        editor babybuddy/settings/production.py

1. Initiate the application

        export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=babybuddy.settings.production
        gulp collectstatic
        gulp migrate

1. Set appropriate permissions on the database and data folder

        sudo chown www-data:www-data /var/www/babybuddy/data/db.sqlite3
        sudo chmod 640 /var/www/babybuddy/data/db.sqlite3
        sudo chmod 750 /var/www/babybuddy/data

1. Create and configure the uwsgi app

        sudo editor /etc/uwsgi/apps-available/babybuddy.ini
        sudo ln -s /etc/uwsgi/apps-available/babybuddy.ini /etc/uwsgi/apps-enabled/babybuddy.ini
        sudo service uwsgi restart

    Example config:

        [uwsgi]
        plugins = python3
        project = babybuddy
        base_dir = /var/www/babybuddy

        virtualenv = /home/user/.local/share/virtualenvs/babybuddy-XXXXXXXX
        chdir = %(base_dir)/babybuddy
        module =  %(project).wsgi:application
        env = DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=%(project).settings.production
        master = True
        vacuum = True

    See the [uWSGI documentation](http://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)
    for more advanced configuration details.

    *Note: Find the location of the pipenv virtual environment with the command
    ``pipenv --venv``.*

1. Create and configure the nginx server

        sudo vim /etc/nginx/sites-available/babybuddy
        sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/babybuddy /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/babybuddy
        sudo service nginx restart

    Example config:

        upstream babybuddy {
            server unix:///var/run/uwsgi/app/babybuddy/socket;
        }

        server {
            listen 80;
            server_name babybuddy.example.com;

            location / {
                uwsgi_pass babybuddy;
                include uwsgi_params;
            }
        }

    See the [nginx documentation](https://nginx.org/en/docs/) for more advanced
    configuration details.

1. That's it (hopefully)! :tada:

## Configuration

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.**

- [`ALLOWED_HOSTS`](#allowed_hosts)
- [`ALLOW_UPLOADS`](#allow_uploads)
- [`AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`](#aws_access_key_id)
- [`AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`](#aws_secret_access_key)
- [`AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME`](#aws_storage_bucket_name)
- [`DEBUG`](#debug)
- [`NAP_START_MAX`](#nap_start_max)
- [`NAP_START_MIN`](#nap_start_min)
- [`SECRET_KEY`](#secret_key)
- [`TIME_ZONE`](#time_zone)

### `ALLOWED_HOSTS`

*Default: * (any)*

This option may be set to a single host or comma-separated list of hosts
(without spaces). This should *always* be set to a specific host or hosts in
production deployments.

See also: [Django's documentation on the ALLOWED_HOSTS setting](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/ref/settings/#allowed-hosts)

### `ALLOW_UPLOADS`

*Default: True*

Whether or not to allow uploads (e.g. of Child photos). For some deployments
(AWS, Heroku, Nanobox) this setting will default to False due to the lack of
available persistent storage.

### `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'
[Amazon S3 documentation]
(http://django-storages.readthedocs.io/en/latest/backends/amazon-S3.html).

### `DEBUG`

*Default: False*

When in debug mode, Baby Buddy will print much more detailed error information
for exceptions. This setting should be *False* in production deployments.

See also [Django's documentation on the DEBUG setting](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/ref/settings/#debug).

### `NAP_START_MAX`

*Default: 18:00*

The maximum *start* time (in the instance's time zone) before which a sleep
entry is consider a nap. Expects the format %H:%M.

### `NAP_START_MIN`

*Default: 06:00*

The minimum *start* time (in the instance's time zone) after which a sleep
entry is considered a nap. Expects the format %H:%M.

### `SECRET_KEY`

*Default: None*

A random, unique string must be set as the "secret key" before Baby Buddy can
be deployed and run.

See also [Django's documentation on the SECRET_KEY setting](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/ref/settings/#secret-key).

### `TIME_ZONE`

*Default: Etc/UTC*

The time zone to use for the instance. See [List of tz database time zones](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones)
for all possible values.

## API

Baby Buddy uses the [Django REST Framework](http://www.django-rest-framework.org/)
(DRF) to provide a REST API.

The only requirement for (most) requests is that the `Authorization` header is
set as described in the [Authentication](#authentication) section. The one
exception is the `/api` endpoint, which lists all available endpoints.

Currently, the following endpoints are available for `GET`, `OPTIONS`, and
`POST` requests:

- `/api/children/`
- `/api/changes/` (Diaper Changes)
- `/api/feedings/`
- `/api/notes/`
- `/api/sleep/`
- `/api/timers/`
- `/api/tummy-times/`
- `/api/weight/`

### Authentication

By default, the [TokenAuthentication](http://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/authentication/#tokenauthentication)
and [SessionAuthentication](http://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/authentication/#sessionauthentication)
classes are enabled. Session authentication covers local API requests made by
the application itself. Token authentication allows external requests to be
made.

:exclamation: **In a production environment, token authentication should only
be used for API calls to an `https` endpoint.** :exclamation:

Each user is automatically assigned an API key that can be used for token
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

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.

### `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": [...]
    }

Field-based filters for specific endpoints can be found the in the `filters`
field of the `OPTIONS` response for specific endpoints.

#### Response

Returns JSON data in the response body in the following format:

    {
        "count":<int>,
        "next":<url>,
        "previous":<url>,
        "results":[{...}]
    }

- `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.

### `OPTIONS` Method

#### 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
options for `POST` requests, and available filters for `GET` requests. The
following example describes the `/api/children` endpoint:

    {
        "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"
                },
                [...]
            }
        },
        "filters": [
            "first_name",
            "last_name",
            "slug"
        ]
    }

### `POST` Method

#### Request

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
`POST` request must be set to `application/json`.

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 incorporates
multiple fields).

## Development

### Requirements

- Python 3.4+, pip, pipenv
- NodeJS 8.x and NPM 5.x
- Gulp

### Installation

1. Install pipenv

        pip install pipenv

1. Install required Python packages, including dev packages

        pipenv install --dev

1. Install Gulp CLI

        npm install -g gulp-cli

1. Install required Node packages

        npm install

1. Set, at least, the `DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE` environment variable

        export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=babybuddy.settings.development

    This process will differ based on the host OS. The above example is for
    Linux-based systems. See [Configuration](#configuration) for other settings
    and methods for defining them.

1. Migrate the database

        gulp migrate

1. Build assets and run the server

        gulp

    This command will also watch for file system changes to rebuild assets and
    restart the server as needed.

Open [http://127.0.0.1:8000](http://127.0.0.1:8000) and log in with the default
user name and password (`admin`/`admin`).

### Gulp commands

Baby Buddy's Gulp commands are defined and configured by files in the
[`gulpfile.js`](gulpfile.js) folder. Django's management commands are defined
in the [`babybuddy/management/commands`](babybuddy/management/commands) folder.

- [`gulp`](#gulp)
- [`gulp build`](#build)
- [`gulp collectstatic`](#collectstatic)
- [`gulp compress`](#compress)
- [`gulp coverage`](#coverage)
- [`gulp extras`](#extras)
- [`gulp fake`](#fake)
- [`gulp lint`](#lint)
- [`gulp makemigrations`](#makemigrations)
- [`gulp migrate`](#migrate)
- [`gulp reset`](#reset)
- [`gulp runserver`](#runserver)
- [`gulp scripts`](#scripts)
- [`gulp styles`](#styles)
- [`gulp test`](#test)

#### `gulp`

Executes the `build` and `watch` commands and runs Django's development server.

#### `build`

Creates all script, style and "extra" assets and places them in the
`babybuddy/static` folder.

#### `collectstatic`

Executes Django's `collectstatic` management task. This task relies on files in
the `babybuddy/static` folder, so generally `gulp build` should be run before
this command for production deployments. Gulp also passes along
non-overlapping arguments for this command, e.g. `--no-input`.

#### `compress`

:exclamation: *DEPRECATED* :exclamation:

Compresses built scripts and styles. This command has been deprecated in favor
of WhiteNoise's compression as part of the `collectstatic` command.

#### `coverage`

Create a test coverage report. See [`.coveragerc`](.coveragerc) for default
settings information.

#### `extras`

Copies "extra" files (fonts, images and server root contents) to the build
folder.

#### `fake`

Adds some fake data to the database. By default, ``fake`` creates one child and
31 days of random data. Use the  `--children` and `--days` flags to change the
default values, e.g. `gulp fake --children 5 --days 7` to generate five fake
children and seven days of data for each.

#### `lint`

Executes Python and SASS linting for all relevant source files.

#### `makemigrations`

Executes Django's `makemigrations` management task. Gulp also passes along
non-overlapping arguments for this command.

#### `migrate`

Executes Django's `migrate` management task. In addition to migrating the
database, this command creates the default `admin` user. Gulp also passes along
non-overlapping arguments for this command.

#### `reset`

Resets the database to a default state *with* one fake child and 31 days of
fake data.

#### `runserver`

Executes Django's `runserver` management task. Gulp also passes along
non-overlapping arguments for this command.

#### `scripts`

Builds and combines relevant application scripts. Generally this command does
not need to be executed independently - see the `build` command.

#### `styles`

Builds and combines SASS styles in to CSS files. Generally this command does
not need to be executed independently - see the `build` command.

#### `test`

Executes Baby Buddy's suite of tests.

Gulp also passes along non-overlapping arguments for this command, however
individual tests cannot be run with this command. `python manage.py test` can be
used for individual test execution.
