• Price Comparison: Displays prices from multiple vendors for each product.
• Product Details: Shows detailed information about each product, including specifications and reviews.
• User Accounts: Allows users to create accounts, log in, and save their favorite products.
• Admin Interface: An admin interface for managing products, vendors, and user accounts.

• Latest version of Python
• Garnet (Or other Redis alternative)
• Docker

If you have Docker you can start Garnet with docker-compose up garnet otherwise download the executable.

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/TheLovinator1/panso.se.git
cd panso.se

2. Create a virtual environment and install dependencies:

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Rename the .env.example file to .env and update the environment variables:

mv .env.example .env

4. Run the Django migrations:

python manage.py migrate

5. Create a superuser account:

The web scrapers are written with Scrapy and can be found in the clutter directory. To populate the database with products and vendors, run the following commands:

# Current spiders
scrapy list

# For example, to run the "webhallen" spider
scrapy crawl webhallen

To access the admin interface, go to http://localhost:8000/admin/ and log in with the superuser account created earlier.

To run the tests, use the following command:

# Remember to start the Garnet server before running the tests
pytest -v -n 8
