(WORK IN PROGRESS)

Getting started

Install

pip install amabase

Use as a standalone application

Just run the provided amabase command line application.

This will automatically detect missing dependencies (and propose to install them), manage its custom SQLite database, and run a local development web server:

amabase web

Visit the local website at http://127.0.0.1:8000/. Default credentials for the local development web server:

• Username: your Linux or Windows username
• Password: Debug123

See available commands:

amabase --help

Use in another Django project

Replace manage.py by:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import os

from amabase import main

os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'myproject.settings')

main()

In your settings.py file, remove settings that you would like to be managed by Amabase (see Amabase default settings).

It is possible and easier to remove all settings, so that everything is managed by Amabase, except the setting APPS which should indicate which applications should be added (otherwise, only infrastructure applications and amabase.base will be included).

If DATABASES is not provided, Amabase will create and use a custom SQLite database.

Components

Infrastructure:

• amabase.utils: General-purpose shared utilities. Depends only on the Python standard library.
• amabase.django: Django-related utilities and infrastructure.
• amabase.conf: Shared Amabase configuration objects. Depends on Django only for Django-related features. Provides settings, a SQLite db and the main function to create the command-line interface.

Base application:

• amabase.base: The base Django application (this is the only Django application required by Amabase).

Other applications:

• TODO
