django-include-apps

django-include-apps is a CLI tool to help you manage Django apps in the INSTALLED_APPS list in your Django project's settings.py file. This tool simplifies the process of adding new apps by ensuring they are properly installed and integrated into your Django project.

Features

• Automatically search for settings.py in the current or specified directory.
• Check if the package is installed; if not, prompt the user to install it.
• Verify if the package is related to Django before adding it to INSTALLED_APPS.
• Only Add the new app to the INSTALLED_APPS list if it's not already present.

Installation.

You can install django-include-apps via pip:

pip install django-include-apps

Usage

Basic Command

To add a new app to INSTALLED_APPS, use the following command:

django-include-apps add_app <new_app>

Replace <new_app> with the name of the Django app you want to add.

Options:

Use --start-dir or -d to specify the directory to search for settings.py. Defaults to the current directory if not provided.

Examples:

Example 1: settings.py in the Current Directory

Suppose your Django project's settings.py file is in the current working directory. Navigate to your project directory:

cd /path/to/your/django/project

Run the CLI command to add a new app:

django-include-apps add_app my_new_app

Example 2: settings.py in a Different Directory

Suppose your Django project's settings.py file is in a different directory, such as /path/to/your/django/project/config. Navigate to your desired starting directory:

cd /path/to/your/django/project

Run the CLI command with the --start-dir or -d option:

django-include-apps add_app my_new_app --start-dir ./config
