Django project template

Simple quickstart for Django-based projects created as cookiecutter template.

What's inside?

• Exception handling (ProblemDetailException, ValidationException prepared for django_api_forms)
• Basic security (signature middleware, Argon password hasher)
• Hard/soft delete for models
• Custom User model
• Response objects (SingleResponse, ValidationResponse)
• Custom JSON encoder prepared for porcupine-python serializer
• Configuration using .env files
• Sentry integration
• Dependency management using poetry
• Multi-environment settings
• E-mail testing using django-imap-backend in development environment
• CRON job management

Bundled dependencies

• django_api_forms: Request validation
• python-dotenv: .env handling
• porcupine-python: Response serialisation
• django-imap-backend: Custom e-mail backend for simplified testing
• django-celery-beat: CRON jobs

Usage

You need to have installed cookiecutter in your system, then you can call. You will be asked a few questions about the new project (name, target directory):

cookiecutter gh:backbonesk/django-project-template

Next steps

1. Check pyproject.toml and change the authors list
2. cd {{ directory_name }}
3. python -m venv venv
4. poetry install && poetry update
5. Remove stuff you don't need (template is feature rich on purpose, it's easier to delete than create)
6. Take a coffee and celebrate life, you saved a plenty of time!
