Installation

Install via pip:

pip install django-clite

After installation, the CLI will expose the binary with the name:

django-clite

Extending the CLI

Currently, there are two main ways of extending the functionality of the CLI:

1. Adding your own commands/plugins
2. Overriding the provided resource templates

Including your own commands

If you would like to extend the functionality of this CLI, you can include your own plugins/commands by setting an environment variable: DJANGO_CLITE_PLUGINS. Simply set this variable to the path where your plugins are.

Plugin commands are auto-discovered if they are placed under the plugins directory, but please be sure to do the following for this to work:

1. Name your package and click command the same. That is, a package called get, for example, should define a get command.
2. Place the command definition within the package's main.py module. For example:

# get/main.py
import click


@click.command()
@click.pass_context
def get(ctx):
    pass

3. Sub-commands should be added to the top-most command group in the package's main.py module.

# get/main.py
import click


@click.group() # <- group
@click.pass_context
def get(ctx):
  pass


@click.command()
@click.pass_context
def foo(ctx):
  pass


get.add_command(foo)

4. Access your commands via your top-most command group.

django-clite get foo

NOTE: If you would like to skip a plugin/command from being auto-discovered, simply rename the package by either prepending or appending any number of underscores (_). Any code contained within the package will be ignored.

Overriding the templates

The flag --templates-dir can be used to configure an additional path wherein the CLI can look for resource templates. Alternatively, you can use the environment variable DJANGO_CLITE_TEMPLATES_DIR for the same purpose.

Take a look at the template files directory for a reference of what files can be overriden. The paths of the templates you wish to override need to match the provided template. For example, if you wish to override the model template, which is defined under src/cli/template_files/models/model.tpl, you should define your own model template under your desired directory, i.e /path/to/templates/models/model.tpl.

Development

Install from source:

git clone https://github.com/oleoneto/django-clite.git
cd django-clite
pip install --editable .

Dependencies

Check out pyproject.toml for all installation dependencies.

Interactive Docs

In order to maintain consistency in our documentation of all the different commands and features of the CLI, we've decided to move the README to a series of Jupyter notebooks which you can explore per command under the docs directory.
