Django is a high-level Python web framework designed for rapid development of secure and maintainable websites. Here are the core features:
- Model-View-Template (MVT) architecture:
- Models define your data structure
- Views handle the logic and processing
- Templates manage the presentation
- Built-in admin interface for easy content management
- Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) for database interactions without writing SQL
- URL routing system to map URLs to views
- Form handling and validation
- Built-in security features (e.g., protection against SQL injection, cross-site scripting)
- Scalable and suitable for both small and large projects
To get started, you'll need Python installed. Then you can install Django, create a project, define models, set up views and templates, and run your development server.
👉 Step 1 - Download the code from the GH repository (using
GIT
)
$ git clone https://github.com/app-generator/django-datta-able.git
$ cd django-datta-able
👉 Step 2 - Start the APP in
Docker
$ docker-compose up --build
Visit http://localhost:5085
in your browser. The app should be up & running.
Create a new .env
file using sample env.sample
. The meaning of each variable can be found below:
DEBUG
: ifTrue
the app runs in development mode- For production value
False
should be used
- For production value
- For
MySql
persistence- Install the DB Driver:
pip install mysqlclient
- Create DB and assign a new user (full rights)
- Edit
.env
to match the DB, user, and password
- Install the DB Driver:
Download the code
$ git clone https://github.com/app-generator/django-datta-able.git
$ cd django-datta-able
Install modules via
VENV
$ virtualenv env
$ source env/bin/activate
$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Set Up Database
$ python manage.py makemigrations
$ python manage.py migrate
Generate API
$ python manage.py generate-api -f
Start the APP
$ python manage.py createsuperuser # create the admin
$ python manage.py runserver # start the project
At this point, the app runs at http://127.0.0.1:8000/
.
Install modules via
VENV
(windows)
$ virtualenv env
$ .\env\Scripts\activate
$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Set Up Database
$ python manage.py makemigrations
$ python manage.py migrate
Start the APP
$ python manage.py createsuperuser # create the admin
$ python manage.py runserver # start the project
At this point, the app runs at http://127.0.0.1:8000/
.
The project is coded using a simple and intuitive structure presented below:
< PROJECT ROOT >
|
|-- core/
| |-- settings.py # Project Configuration
| |-- urls.py # Project Routing
|
|-- home/
| |-- views.py # APP Views
| |-- urls.py # APP Routing
| |-- models.py # APP Models
| |-- tests.py # Tests
| |-- templates/ # Theme Customisation
| |-- pages #
| |-- custom-index.py # Custom Dashboard
|
|-- requirements.txt # Project Dependencies
|
|-- env.sample # ENV Configuration (default values)
|-- manage.py # Start the app - Django default start script
|
|-- ************************************************************************
When a template file is loaded in the controller, Django
scans all template directories starting from the ones defined by the user, and returns the first match or an error in case the template is not found.
The theme used to style this starter provides the following files:
# This exists in ENV: LIB/admin_datta
< UI_LIBRARY_ROOT >
|
|-- templates/ # Root Templates Folder
| |
| |-- accounts/
| | |-- auth-signin.html # Sign IN Page
| | |-- auth-signup.html # Sign UP Page
| |
| |-- includes/
| | |-- footer.html # Footer component
| | |-- sidebar.html # Sidebar component
| | |-- navigation.html # Navigation Bar
| | |-- scripts.html # Scripts Component
| |
| |-- layouts/
| | |-- base.html # Masterpage
| | |-- base-auth.html # Masterpage for Auth Pages
| |
| |-- pages/
| |-- index.html # Dashboard Page
| |-- profile.html # Profile Page
| |-- *.html # All other pages
|
|-- ************************************************************************
When the project requires customization, we need to copy the original file that needs an update (from the virtual environment) and place it in the template folder using the same path.
For instance, if we want to customize the index.html these are the steps:
- ✅
Step 1
: create thetemplates
DIRECTORY inside thehome
app - ✅
Step 2
: configure the project to use this new template directorycore/settings.py
TEMPLATES section
- ✅
Step 3
: copy theindex.html
from the original location (inside your ENV) and save it to thehome/templates
DIR- Source PATH:
<YOUR_ENV>/LIB/admin_black_pro/pages/index.html
- Destination PATH:
<PROJECT_ROOT>home/templates/pages/index.html
- Source PATH:
To speed up all these steps, the codebase is already configured (
Steps 1, and 2
) and acustom dashboard
can be found at this location:
home/templates/pages/custom-index.html
By default, this file is unused because the theme
expects index.html
(without the custom-
prefix).
In order to use it, simply rename it to index.html
. Like this, the default version shipped in the library is ignored by Django.
In a similar way, all other files and components can be customized easily.
