Zero-Configuration Django Projects

Work in progress.

Create modern web applications using python, django, jinja2, whitenoise, webpack, bootstrap, … without having to configure anything. No magic included, you can unplug/customize anything afterward.

Django Zero is a wrapper around the Django Framework (2+) that allows to create full-featured projects with (nearly) zero configuration.

Out of the box, you get:

• Jinja2 templating.

• Webpack, Bootstrap, Sass for assets.

• Honcho for process management.

• Docker images (built either with docker or rocker).

• Allauth for user authentication (with jinja2 templates).

• Debug toolbar and django extensions in development mode.

• Cookiecutter for scaffolding.

• Mondrian for logging.

• Gunicorn for production server.

• Pytest for… tests!

And more to come.

Everything is used explicitely and you can unplug any feature you don’t like.

Quick start

You need Python3.5+, Node.js and Yarn.

Install the project, and build node modules required for development.

$ pip install django-zero[dev]
$ django-zero install

Create an empty project:

$ django-zero init project my-web-app

Run the dev server (with webpack watching assets):

$ cd my-web-app
$ django-zero start
