FarmCom: A Database Management System for Crops

FarmCom is a comprehensive database management system designed to streamline the process of crop management for farmers and administrators. It provides a robust platform for farmers to add crops and for administrators to filter and view the crops added by different farmers.

Features

• Add Crops: Farmers can easily add information about their crops, including type, quantity, and growth stage.
• Profile Page: Each farmer has a profile page where they can view and edit their personal information.
• Login Screen: Secure login screen for farmers to access their portal.

Admin Portal

• Filter and View Crops: Administrators can filter and view the crops added by different farmers, allowing for efficient management and oversight.
• Profile Page: Administrators also have a profile page where they can view and edit their personal information.
• Login Screen: Secure login screen for administrators to access their portal.

Getting Started

1. Make sure you have the following software installed:
   • git
   • Python (Latest version preferred)
   • Node.js (Latest version preferred)
   • VSCode (preferred, otherwise your opinion will be rejected)
2. Clone the project by running the following command in the terminal: git clone https://github.com/KayG2310/Hack-O-Mania FarmCom.
3. Move into the project directory by running cd FarmCom.
4. The backend and frontend now need to be run simultaneously. So, open another terminal in this directory, and use both of these terminals for either segments.

For backend

5. Install all python requirements by running pip install -r requirements.txt. You can also use a virtual environment if you have a lot of projects that require different versions of different libraries.
6. Whenever there is a database schema change, you need to run python3 manage.py makemigrations and python3 manage.py migrate.
7. To run the server, run python3 manage.py runserver. This will run the backend on http://localhost:8000/.

For frontend

5. Move into the frontend directory.
6. Run npm install.
7. Run npm run dev. This will run the frontend on http://localhost:3000/.

Studying the file structure

• manage.py: Django controlling script. This is used to interact with the django application.
• db.sqlite3: Database.
• farmcom: This is the app folder for containing the app settings and parameters.
• backend: This is the main folder containing the files for the backend.
• frontend: This is the main folder containing the files for the frontend.

How next.js pages work

Go in frontend/pages/app.js. This file is used to get the output for http://localhost:3000/app. If we create a file by a name like frontend/pages/[filename].js, the file will be used to generate the output for http://localhost:3000/filename.
These files have code generally in the format:

export default function FileName(){
  // Some JS Code and stuff
  return (
    <>
    <!-- Some HTML+CSS Code and stuff -->
    </>
  )
}
