Project Detail

This repository contains two shell scripts (starter-en.sh && starter-zh.sh) that automates the setup of a Django project with a custom user system and integrates django-avatar for avatar management. The script is designed to simplify the process of creating a Django project with common configurations, including user authentication, avatar management, and basic templates.

Features

• Python3 Check: Ensures Python3 is installed before proceeding.

• Virtual Environment: Creates and activates a virtual environment.

• Dependencies Installation: Installs Django, django-avatar, and Pillow via requirements.txt.

• Interactive Setup: Prompts for project and app names.

• Custom User Model: Optionally creates a custom user model with additional fields (bio, birth_date, phone, address, role).

• Admin Configuration: Configures the Django admin to support the custom user model.

• Basic Views and Templates: Generates login, logout, register, and homepage views with corresponding templates.

• URL Configuration: Sets up URL routing for the admin, avatar, and user app.

• Database Migrations: Runs initial database migrations.

• Superuser Creation: Optionally creates a superuser for the Django admin.

• Prerequisites Python3: Ensure Python3 is installed on your system.

• Bash: The script is written for Unix-like systems (Linux, macOS).

Getting Started

Clone the Repository:

git clone https://github.com/yaninsanity/django-user-starter
cd django-user-starter

Make the Script Executable:

chmod +x starter-en.sh
# Run the Script, run with English Prompt
sh starter-en.sh
# run with Chinese prompt:
chmod +x starter-en.sh
sh starter-zh.sh

Follow the Prompt Flow

Enter the virtual environment directory name (default: venv).

Enter the Django project name (default: myproject).

Enter the user system app name (default: users).

Choose whether to create a custom user model (default: y).

Optionally create a superuser (default: y).

Start the Development Server:

source venv/bin/activate
python3 <myproject>/manage.py runserver

Access the Project:

Admin Panel: http://localhost:8000/admin/

Homepage: http://localhost:8000/

Login Page: http://localhost:8000/users/login/

Register Page: http://localhost:8000/users/register/

Custom User Model

If you choose to create a custom user model, the script will generate a CustomUser model with the following fields:

bio: A text field for the user's biography.

birth_date: A date field for the user's birth date.

phone: A character field for the user's phone number.

address: A text field for the user's address.

role: A character field for the user's role (e.g., admin, editor).

The avatar field is intentionally omitted to avoid conflicts with django-avatar.

Templates

The script generates the following templates:

Login Template: users/templates/users/login.html

Register Template: users/templates/users/register.html

Homepage Template: templates/home.html

These templates are basic and can be customized further as needed.

Media Files

The script configures MEDIA_URL and MEDIA_ROOT in settings.py to handle media files, which are required by django-avatar for avatar management.
