This is the main repository for All About Berlin. It contains the templates, content and backend to render the website.

The frontend is a static website built with ursus, a purpose-built static site generator. This is the website you see when you visit allaboutberlin.com. The ursus static site generator is in a separate repository.

Directory structure:

• frontend contains all files needed to render the website
• frontend/templates contains the templates used to generate the website's pages. That's also where the frontend code for the calculators is stored.
• frontend/content contains the website's content: guides, tools, glossary entries, images etc.
• frontend/extensions contains ursus extensions and linters that are specific to All About Berlin.
• frontend/scripts contains utility scripts

The backend a REST API built with Django and Django REST Framework. The API handles form submissions, email scheduling and other dynamic features. It also proxies APIs for newsletter subscriber management and currency conversions.

Most tools on the website entirely run in the browser, so they don't call the API.

This project uses mise to simplify dev tasks. You must install it first.

1. Run mise install to install required tools.
2. Run mise setup to install local dependencies, set up commit hooks, etc.
3. Run mise dev to start docker, build the website and start a local server. This will build and start the project inside docker containers. The website is served at https://localhost. The frontend/backend are reloaded on changes.

You can also run mise site to only run a minimal frontend. It's much faster than running docker, and it's enough for frontend development and content changes.

See the production README.

mise test runs all available tests.

mise test-ui only runs the UI tests. Run mise update-snapshots to generate new visual testing snapshots when the UI changes.

Run mise test-api to only run the backend and API tests.

There are frontend unit tests. You can see them at https://localhost/tests/unit. These are run with the other tests.

mise lint runs the project's various linters. It's run automatically before committing.

mise format automatically applies certain linting rules.
