Getting Started

Install cookiecutter with brew install cookiecutter or pip install cookiecutter.

cookiecutter gh:Fueled/django-init

It will ask you couple of questions required to generate the project. It will generate a folder containing all the files in your current working directory.

If you opt to setup the project automatically, it will also:

• initialize a git repo and bump initial tag and version.
• create a virtualenv in the folder venv inside the project.
• install all the python dependencies inside it.
• create poetry.lock file after resolving dependencies and then generate requirements.txt and requirements_dev.txt for production and dev use respectively, for backward-compatibility.
• create a postgres database and run the initial migration against it.

then only thing you'll need to do is:

1. cd into the new github_repository folder just created.
2. Run make run or activate virtualenv with poetry shell and run ./manage.py runserver

Don't forget to carefully look at the generated README. Awesome, right?

You can also explore the wiki section for details on advance setup and usages.

Managing dependencies

Poetry

To guarantee repeatable installations, all project dependencies are managed using Poetry. The project’s direct dependencies are listed in pyproject.toml. Running poetry lock generates poetry.lock which has all versions pinned.

You can install Poetry by using pip install --pre poetry or by following the official installation guide here.

Tip: We recommend that you use this workflow and keep pyproject.toml as well as poetry.lock under version control to make sure all computers and environments run exactly the same code.

Other tools

For compatibility, requirements.txt and requirements_dev.txt can be updated by running

poetry export -f requirements.txt -o requirements.txt
poetry export -f requirements.txt -o requirements_dev.txt --with dev

or

make generate_requirements
