Django realtime drawing with websockets

Inspiration

Basic consumers and settings were copied from here --> https://github.com/DJWOMS/websockets_dcrf_example

Authentication views and everything related to drawing were made by me.

What is this?

This is a simple test project that I made to learn django websockets (djangochannelsrestframework)

What's inside?

It contains a single django application called drawing and simple setup instructions.

There are no static/media files, because I wanted this app to be light and wrote some simple HTML templates with scripts right inside them.

Setup

If you don't know how to quickly start a redis server, visit ubuntu redis commands.txt:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:redislabs/redis
sudo apt-get install redis-server -y
sudo service redis-server restart

Firstly, change your current directory to realtime_drawing_django

Use pip install -r requirements.txt to install all the dependencies.

Since migrations are in .gitignore, make them yourself by using:

python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate

If you don't know how to quickly start a daphne server (which I used here), visit daphne start command.txt:

daphne realtime_drawing_django.asgi:application
