A project template for Django 2.0 that follows best practices.
An easy to use project template for Django 2.0 that follows best practices.
Make sure you have pipenv installed. Then install Django 2.0 in your virtualenv:
pip install django==2.0
To create a new Django project (make sure to change project_name
)
django-admin.py startproject --template=https://github.com/fasouto/django-starter-template/archive/master.zip --extension=py,md,html,txt project_name
cd to your project and install the development dependences
pipenv install --dev
If you need a database, edit the settings and create one with
pipenv run python manage.py migrate
Once everything it's setup you can run the development server: http://localhost:8000/
pipenv run python manage.py runserver
Settings are divided by environments: production.py, development.py and testing.py. By default it uses development.py, if you want to change the environment set a environment variable:
export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE="my_project.settings.production"
or you can use the settings
param with runserver:
pipenv run python manage.py runserver --settings=my_project.settings.production
If you need to add some settings that are specific for your machine, rename the file local_example.py
to local_settings.py
. This file it's in .gitignore so the changes won't be tracked.
