Django AutoApp

Auto-generate Django apps with full CRUD boilerplate — models, views, URLs, forms, admin, templates, and static files — in a single command.

Installation

pip install django-autoapp

Quick Start — New Project from Scratch

Bootstrap a full Django project + virtual environment in one command:

mkdir my_site && cd my_site
django-autoapp-init myproject

This creates:

my_site/
├── venv/              ← isolated virtual environment
└── myproject/         ← Django project (manage.py, settings, etc.)

Then follow the printed instructions:

cd myproject
..\venv\Scripts\activate      # Windows
source ../venv/bin/activate   # macOS / Linux
python manage.py autoapp blog Post
python manage.py runserver

Adding to an Existing Project

    # ...
