Modules

.

File	Summary
manage.py	Executes Django admin tasks, setting up environment variables and running commands from the command line in the OculusSite projects architecture.
Procfile	Enables web server deployment by defining the command to run the server on a specified port. Essential for launching the project within the specified architecture of the Oculus-2022-be repository.
Pipfile	Defines dependencies for Django, Django REST framework, Firebase, and more in the Pipfile. Supports web development for Oculus-2022-be repository.

OculusSite

File	Summary
wsgi.py	Exposes WSGI callable for OculusSite project. Sets DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE and retrieves WSGI application using Django core. Supports Django deployment.
asgi.py	Exposes ASGI callable for the OculusSite project, setting DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE dynamically. Aligns with the parent repositorys architecture by enabling asynchronous server applications.
credentials.json	Exposes Firebase service account credentials for authentication in the Oculus-2022-be repositorys backend architecture.
urls.py	Routes URLs to views by configuring OculusSite URLs. Includes admin URLs and links to APIserver URLs for web application navigation.
settings.py	Defines Django settings for OculusSite project, including secret key, debug status, installed apps, CORS configuration, middleware, database setup, password validators, internationalization settings, and static file handling. It integrates with Django 3.2.8 and utilizes django-heroku for deployment.

APIserver

File	Summary
apps.py	Defines the configuration for the APIserver app within the Oculus-2022-be repository, specifying the default auto field type and the app name. This file helps manage settings and behavior specific to the APIserver component.
models.py	Defines Django models for the APIserver to interact with the database. Maps data structure for the applications backend functionality within the Oculus-2022-be repository.
credentials.json	Validates and stores sensitive API credentials for the Oculus-2022-be API server. Essential for securely managing external service integrations within the repository architecture.
urls.py	Defines URL patterns for various API endpoints for data management and notifications. Supports registration, team updates, event details retrieval, chat, payment status, and notifications. Introduces dynamic event identifier and CSV download feature for improved functionality.
admin.py	Registers models with the Django admin interface in the admin.py file under the APIserver directory. It plays a crucial role in managing and organizing data models within the Oculus-2022-be repository architecture.
tests.py	Verifies APIserver functionality by creating test cases using Djangos test framework.
views.py	The views.py file in the APIserver module of the repository serves as a crucial component in handling views and responses for the API endpoints. It leverages Django and Firebase Admin libraries to interact with the database and manage file uploads securely.
