Configuration Guide

This guide explains the configuration options, default settings, and methods for customizing the Black and White Chef project.

Configuration Options:

1. Database Settings: - Default: The project uses a PostgreSQL database. - Customization:

   • To use a different database (e.g., MySQL or SQLite), update the DATABASES configuration in settings.py: ```python DATABASES = {

     ‘default’: {

     ‘ENGINE’: ‘django.db.backends.mysql’, ‘NAME’: ‘Bae’, ‘USER’: ‘Bae’, ‘PASSWORD’: ‘1234’, ‘HOST’: ‘localhost’, ‘PORT’: ‘3306’,

     }

2. Frontend Theme: - Default: The project uses a minimalistic theme. - Customization:

   • To customize the theme, edit the CSS files located in static/css: ` static/css/theme.css `

3. User Authentication: - Default: Basic username and password authentication. - Customization:

   • To enable third-party authentication (e.g., Google or GitHub), add and configure the corresponding OAuth libraries in settings.py.

Default Settings:

1. Server Port: - Default: The server runs on port 8000. - To change the port, run the server with the –port option:

   ` python manage.py runserver 8080 `

2. Debug Mode: - Default: DEBUG = True during development. - For production, set DEBUG = False in settings.py:

   `python DEBUG = False `

Customization Methods:

1. Environment Variables: - Store sensitive data such as API keys, database credentials, and debug mode settings in environment variables. - Use a .env file and the python-decouple package for easy management:

   ` DATABASE_PASSWORD=your_password DEBUG=False `

2. Localization: - The project supports multiple languages. - To add a new language, create a new .po file in the locale directory and update settings.py with the new language code:

   ```python LANGUAGES = [

   (‘en’, ‘English’), (‘ko’, ‘Korean’),

3. Logging: - Configure logging settings in settings.py to track errors or custom events:

   ```python LOGGING = {

   ‘version’: 1, ‘disable_existing_loggers’: False, ‘handlers’: {

   ‘file’: {

   ‘level’: ‘DEBUG’, ‘class’: ‘logging.FileHandler’, ‘filename’: ‘debug.log’,

   },

   }, ‘loggers’: {

   ‘django’: {

   ‘handlers’: [‘file’], ‘level’: ‘DEBUG’, ‘propagate’: True,

   },

   },

By following this guide, you can configure and customize the Black and White Chef project to suit your needs.
