Creating the official Django Polls app Part 5
Maria D. Campbell
This is the fifth installment in a series called Creating the official Django Polls app. Continue following this series with this fifth part. I walk through test-driven development in Django, finding and fixing a real bug in Question.recently_published(), and then build out view tests for the polls index and detail pages.

How to create a fullstack application using Django and Python Part 29
Maria D. Campbell
In this section, I create tests for the like_post view and then fix them after submitting them for code review. In the process, I realize how important code reviews are and that I can't develop applications in a bubble.

How to create a fullstack application using Django and Python Part 27
Maria D. Campbell
In this section, I make some adjustments to existing functionalities, sanitize my Markdown, and add code formatting and highlighting to my Markdown. I create tests for the ProfileListView, protect the function-based profile view, and profile_detail view. I update accounts/tests/test_form_signup_test.py, fix the topic posts avatar issue, and explain the extended profile functionality.

How to create a fullstack application using Django and Python Part 23

In this section, I create a generic class based view called UserUpdateView (My Account view), associated tests, a URL, and template.

How to create a fullstack application using Django and Python Part 21
Maria D. Campbell
In this section, I create a generic class-based (GCBV) PostUpdateView, PostDeleteView, and PostDetailView, and associated urls and templates. I also create the PostUpdateView, PostDeleteView, and PostDetailView tests, and debug the code and tests. Lastly, I check the test coverage of the django_boards project code.

In this section, I implement a Generic Class Based View and pagination to the index/home view, add pagination to the topics view and topic_posts view, and add pagination to the associated templates. I refactor the associated urls in urls.py, and refactor the associated tests. I also add a copy link button to copy the link to a topic's replies, a scroll top and scroll bottom button using JavaScript to enable their functionality, and JavaScript code to make the scrollbar return to the bottom of the page when a pagination item is clicked.

How to create a fullstack application using Django and Python Part 20
Maria D. Campbell
In this section, I re-organize the accounts and boards tests content, refactor password reset-related django_boards/urls.py, fix the password reset-related accounts tests failures, add the password_change URL to templates/base.html, fix the 302 redirect-related failure in the boards.tests.test_view_reply_topic_tests, and add the reply_topic URL to templates/topic_posts.html.

How to create a fullstack application using Django and Python Part 19

In this section, I implement protecting views and create related tests, and I discuss QuerySets and use them to improve the index/home view.

How to create a fullstack application using Django and Python Part 18
Maria D. Campbell
In this section, I create the password_reset routes, views, tests, and templates. The results of the password reset process are output to the Terminal console. I debug the password_reset_confirm_tests tests to find out what the actual csrf token is and hard code it into the test_csrf (function) test. I re-use the Beautiful Soup 4 and Soup Sieve packages to refactor the test_form_inputs (function) test.

Maria D. Campbell
In this section, I improve signup.html template design, add a logout view and route, create a dropdown menu for logged in users, create a login.html template, url, and redirect, create a reusable template, add non-field errors to login.html, create custom template tags to use in form.html, and test the template tags.

How to create a fullstack application using Django and Python Part 16
Maria D. Campbell
In this section, I demonstrate an alternative to the original test_form_inputs test in which I used the .assertContains() method to verify the existence of specific inputs residing in the signup form. I install Beautiful Soup 4 and Soup Sieve along with the html5lib HTML parser, and then re-create the test_form_inputs test using those packages. The test is much shorter, and my approach to discovering the ids of the inputs I want to grab by inspecting the signup form element in the browser is quicker and much easier to read!

In this section, I build a NewTopicForm, view, and route. I also add NewTopicTests to boards/tests.py.

How to create a fullstack application using Django and Python Part 12
Maria D. Campbell
In this section, I add the IndexTests class to boards/tests.py, update templates/index.html to make a failed test pass, write a test for linking back to the index/home page from the single Board page, update templates/topics.html to link back to the index/home page, and update templates/topics.html so a failed test would pass.

How to create a fullstack application using Django and Python Part 11
Maria D. Campbell
In this section, I update the class models in boards/models.py to include PostLike, migrate the updated models, add the dynamic path for a single board in django_boards/urls.py, create the board_topics view inside boards/views.py, create the topics.html template inside the templates directory, and create/run tests for BoardTopics.
