Library online management system in django

#Library Online Management System written in Django

####Link: http://django-library.herokuapp.com/

Technologies: django, python, html, css, less, Java Script, jQuery, Twitter Bootstrap, Git, Heroku, Selenium, django_tables2, fandjango, Google App Engine (by CodeShip)

Date: December, 2014

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/
