Django project {{ project_name}}

Hi! This is the Django source for {{ project_name}}.

TODO

If you followed the Minimalish Django starter instructions, you still have a couple of steps to go to make a thing that lives on the internet.

next:

  • fill out the values in the .env file
  • make sure your venv is still active, otherwise source venv/bin/activate
  • run python manage.py migrate
  • start the server with python manage.py runserver
  • go to http://localhost:8000/ and do good work!
  • to see the vite/react index page, head to http://localhost:8000/react
    • the frontend TypeScript code is under core/frontend/src/

to deploy using disco, create a new github repo with your new directory, and refer to the disco Django+SQLite docs.

Development basics

The first time

To get started, navigate to the directory where this code lives. If you're downloading this code fresh, you'll need to run these commands:

python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

then, for the frontend piece:

cd core/frontend
npm install

Every time

Once your backend + frontend environments are setup (see above), run the following to start the project:

  • in one terminal, for the backend:
source venv/bin/activate
python manage.py runserver
  • in another terminal, for the frontend
cd core/frontend
npm run dev

If you get hollered at to run some other command like python manage.py migrate hit Ctrl-C to stop the backend, do that and then run python manage.py runserver again. It's all good!
