## Prerequisites
## 🛠️ Setup & Installation
- [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/)
- [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/)
- [SMTP Server](https://support.google.com/mail/answer/185833?hl=en) (e.g., Gmail App Password) for email verification.

## Quick Setup
### Option 1: Docker (Recommended)
The easiest way to get the full stack (Backend + Frontend + DB) running behind a production-ready proxy.
1. **Clone the repository:**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/your-repo/holy.git
cd holy
git clone https://github.com/nvrl/Holy-Flavor-Rater.git
cd Holy-Flavor-Rater
```
2. **Configure your environment:**
Copy the example environment file and fill in your specific details (especially SMTP and your domain name):
2. **Environment Configuration:**
```bash
cp .env.example .env
cp .env.example .env.narl.io
# Edit .env.narl.io with your SMTP settings and Domain
```
3. **Start the containers:**
3. **Start Services:**
```bash
docker-compose up -d --build
```
*Note: On first startup, the backend will automatically migrate, sync the flavor catalog, and clean up any duplicates.*
4. **Wait for initial setup:**
The first time you start the backend, it will automatically:
- Run database migrations.
- Collect static files.
- **Sync flavors** from the Holy Energy Shopify API (this might take a minute).
### Option 2: Local Manual Setup (Development)
5. **Access the application:**
- **Frontend:** [http://localhost:5173](http://localhost:5173) (or your configured domain)
- **API Docs:** [http://localhost:8000/api/schema/swagger-ui/](http://localhost:8000/api/schema/swagger-ui/)
- **Admin Panel:** [http://localhost:8000/admin/](http://localhost:8000/admin/) (or your configured `ADMIN_URL`)
#### Backend
1. **Navigate and Install:**
```bash
cd backend
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate # Linux/Mac
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
2. **Initialize DB:**
```bash
python manage.py migrate
python manage.py sync_flavors
python manage.py seed_legacy_flavors
```
3. **Run Server:**
```bash
python manage.py runserver
```
#### Frontend
1. **Navigate and Install:**
```bash
cd frontend
npm install
```
2. **Run Dev Server:**
```bash
npm run dev
```

## Production Hosting
## 🏗️ Architecture
### Security Best Practices
The Holy Flavor Rater uses a modern **decoupled architecture**:
When hosting this application publicly, ensure you update your `.env` with:
### Backend (Django REST Framework)
- **Models:** Custom User model, Flavors (with category constraints), Ratings (with mention parsing), and Dynamic Banners.
- **Automation:** Management commands for periodic Shopify API syncing and database deduplication.
- **Security:** Token-based authentication, CSRF protection, and email-verified account activation.
- **Monitoring:** Integrated `/health/` endpoint for Docker container status.
- `DEBUG=false`: Essential for disabling internal Django stack traces.
- `SECRET_KEY`: Use a long, random string.
- `ADMIN_URL`: Change this to something unique (e.g., `super-secret-gate/`) to hide your admin panel from scanners.
- `ALLOWED_HOSTS`, `CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS`, `CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS`: Set these to your actual production domain (e.g., `https://holy.narl.io`).
### Performance
- The application uses **WhiteNoise** for efficient static file serving.
- **Gunicorn** is configured as the production WSGI server.
- **Compression Middleware** (Gzip/Brotli) is active for API responses.
- **Lazy Loading** is enabled for all flavor and carousel images.
### Frontend (React 19 + TypeScript)
- **State Management:** React Hooks and local state for high performance.
- **UI Framework:** Material UI (MUI) with heavy customization for "Holy" branding.
- **Visualization:** Procedural generative art system using HTML5 Canvas for profile backgrounds.
- **Internationalization:** Full i18next integration (English & German).

## Project Structure
## 💻 Development Workflow
- `backend/`: Django REST Framework API.
- `frontend/`: React 19 application with Material UI and Catppuccin themes.
- `media/`: Locally cached product images and user avatars.
- `legacy/`: Static JSON data for historical flavors.
### Integrity Protection
This project includes a **Pre-Push Git Hook** to ensure code quality. It automatically:
1. Attempts a full Frontend build (`tsc` + `vite build`).
2. Runs Backend system checks and validates missing migrations.
## License
**To install the hooks:**
```bash
bash scripts/install-hooks.sh
```
### Management Commands
- `python manage.py sync_flavors`: Syncs the latest products from the official Holy Energy API.
- `python manage.py cleanup_duplicates`: Merges duplicate entries and maintains rating integrity.
- `python manage.py seed_banners`: Updates procedurally generated banner configurations from JSON.
---
## 🌍 Production Configuration
Ensure your `.env` contains:
- `DEBUG=false`
- `SECRET_KEY`: A long random string.
- `ALLOWED_HOSTS`: Your domain (e.g., `holy.narl.io`).
- `FRONTEND_URL`: For one-click email verification links.
