<br />

## Docker Support

> Get the code

```bash
$ git clone https://github.com/app-generator/black-dashboard-flask.git
$ cd black-dashboard-flask
```

> Start the app in Docker

```bash
$ docker-compose up --build 
```

Visit `http://localhost:5085` in your browser. The app should be up & running.

<br />

## Create/Edit `.env` file

The meaning of each variable can be found below: 

- `DEBUG`: if `True` the app runs in develoment mode
  - For production value `False` should be used
- `ASSETS_ROOT`: used in assets management
  - default value: `/static/assets`
- `OAuth` via Github
  - `GITHUB_ID`=<GITHUB_ID_HERE>
  - `GITHUB_SECRET`=<GITHUB_SECRET_HERE> 

<br />

## Manual Build

> UNZIP the sources or clone the private repository. After getting the code, open a terminal and navigate to the working directory, with product source code.

### 👉 Set Up for `Unix`, `MacOS` 

> Install modules via `VENV`  

```bash
$ virtualenv env
$ source env/bin/activate
$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt
```

<br />

> Set Up Flask Environment

```bash
$ export FLASK_APP=run.py
$ export FLASK_ENV=development
```

<br />

> Start the app

```bash
$ flask run
// OR
$ flask run --cert=adhoc # For HTTPS server
```

At this point, the app runs at `http://127.0.0.1:5000/`. 

<br />

### 👉 Set Up for `Windows` 

> Install modules via `VENV` (windows) 

```
$ virtualenv env
$ .\env\Scripts\activate
$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt
```

<br />

> Set Up Flask Environment

```bash
$ # CMD 
$ set FLASK_APP=run.py
$ set FLASK_ENV=development
$
$ # Powershell
$ $env:FLASK_APP = ".\run.py"
$ $env:FLASK_ENV = "development"
```

<br />

> Start the app

```bash
$ flask run
// OR
$ flask run --cert=adhoc # For HTTPS server
```

At this point, the app runs at `http://127.0.0.1:5000/`. 

<br />

## Recompile SCSS  

The SCSS/CSS files used to style the Ui are saved in the `apps/static/assets` directory. 
In order to update the Ui colors (primary, secondary) this procedure needs to be followed. 

```bash
$ yarn # install modules
$ # # edit variables 
$ vi apps/static/assets/scss/black-dashboard/custom/_variables.scss 
$ gulp # SCSS to CSS translation
```

The `_variables.scss` content defines the `primary` and `secondary` colors: 

```scss
$default:       #344675 !default; // EDIT for customization
$primary:       #e14eca !default; // EDIT for customization
$secondary:     #f4f5f7 !default; // EDIT for customization
$success:       #00f2c3 !default; // EDIT for customization
$info:          #1d8cf8 !default; // EDIT for customization
$warning:       #ff8d72 !default; // EDIT for customization
$danger:        #fd5d93 !default; // EDIT for customization
$black:         #222a42 !default; // EDIT for customization
```
