django-gcloud-connectors 0.0.0.dev1

A Django library for connecting to Google Cloud Datastore from Python 3 runtimes.

# Django GCloud Connectors (DGC)

Note: This project is now living in GitLab: https://gitlab.com/potato-oss/google-cloud/django-gcloud-connectors

WARNING: This is very much a work in progress, is unstable, and not ready for use

The aim of this project is to create Django database connector / backend for Google Cloud.

Currently it contains a connector for the Google Cloud Datastore (Datastore in Firestore mode) but in the future it may also include a Firestore connector, or even a MemoryStore one.

This is the continuation of the Datastore connector from the [Djangae project](https://github.com/potatolondon/djangae) but converted to use the [Cloud Datastore API](https://googleapis.github.io/google-cloud-python/latest/datastore/) on Python 3.

If you are interested in submitting a patch, please refer to CONTRIBUTING.md

## Running the tests

` $ pip3 install --user tox $ tox `

Under the hood tox runs ./manage.py test. To pass down arguments to this command simply separate them with a double hyphen. e.g.

` tox -e py37 -- --failfast `

# Automatic Cloud Datastore Emulator startup

gcloudc provides overrides for the runserver and test commands which start and stop a Cloud Datastore Emulator instance. To enable this functionality just add gcloudc.commands to your INSTALLED_APPS setting.
