Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development.

Prerequisites

Need to have node installed for frontend and python for backend.

Installing

First of all clone the project and move to that directory.

git clone https://github.com/Safi-Ullah/CandidateRank.git
cd ./CandidateRank

Then make a virtual environment using python 3 and activate it. FYI, I used python 3.5.2 for this project.

virtualenv -p python3 my_env
source my_env/bin/activate

Next step is to install modules for backend, run the following command:

pip install -r requirements.txt

After that run:

python manage.py migrate

This will create the complete schema.

Next step is to import data from csv file, run the following command:

python manage.py import_candidate_data candidates_data.csv

After that create a django superuser for using django admin panel:

python manage.py createsuperuser

Now, everything on backend is setup, go ahead and run the server:

python manage.py runserver

The server will start on port 8000 by default

You can go to django admin panel via http://localhost:8000/admin/ and login using the superuser credentials created above. You can see all the models populated with data from csv.

Now for the frontend:

Move to the frontend folder

cd frontend

Install node modules

npm install

After that just start the server

npm start

Now, go to http://localhost:3000/signup and sign up. But the jobs list won't be retrieved unless you assign this newly created user to the Hiring Team group from admin panel.

For that go to http://localhost:8000/admin/auth/user/ and select the user you want to give permission to, and double click on the Hiring Team under available groups. Then, save and now when you login via http://localhost:3000/login:

You'll see a list of jobs and candidates against each job ordered in descending order of their score.
