About the Site

The Experiment Hub is a Django-based web application that offers a glimpse into the world of scientific exploration. You can find a collection of experiments, each with its details and status. It's a space where learning meets functionality, and data meets design.

You can check out the site locally at: http://127.0.0.1:8000/experiments/

Features

• Home Page: A table listing all the experiments with essential details like date, title, and short description, along with a link to view more.
• About Page: Redirects to my personal page where you can learn more about my academic journey and interests.
• Submit New Entry Page: An interactive form that allows the contribution of new experimental data to the platform.
• Detail Page: Provides an in-depth look at each experiment, including a comprehensive description and its current status.

Administrative Capabilities

As an admin, you have the power to add, modify, and manage users and entries, keeping the Experiment Hub up-to-date and accurate.

Setup and Requirements

• For details on setting up the project and the list of requirements, refer to the requirements.txt file which outlines all necessary dependencies.

New updates for Homework 07: MongoDB

• We created a new file mongo_db_connection to handle the connection to our mongo db database
• We added a new view in the experiments/views.py to handle the search and filter view.
• Now we are no longer using the Django models so we interface direct with MongoBD

New updates for Homework 08: Testing

• In Homework 08, we focused on implementing automated tests.
• We have added 15 different tests in the experiments/tests.py file.
• Tests cover a wide range of functionalities, including view responses, template usage, form submissions, and data integrity checks.
• We used Django's built-in TestCase class and the unittest.mock library for mocking database interactions.
• To run the tests, navigate to the project root directory and execute the following command: python manage.py test experiments
