Generic reusable bits for Django projects

Disclaimer

This package is only intended for my own personal use, install at your own risk

Rebuild

Assumes twine is installed and an API token is stored in a .pypirc file:

rm -rfv dist/ && python -m build && twine upload --verbose dist/*

Installation

pip install djinntoux

Usage

dproj

settings_reuse

In your own project settings, use like so:

from djinntoux.dproj.settings_reuse import *  # noqa

...

INSTALLED_APPS = BASE_APPS + []

This reusable settings module expects DJANGO_SECRET_KEY to be set in your environment. For example, if you are just running your project locally, you could use an .envrc file for your development environment ...

...
export 'DJANGO_SECRET_KEY'='django-insecure-321-do-not-use-this!!!'
...

... and then use a systemd unit file for a mock production environment ...

...
[Service]
Environment='DJANGO_SECRET_KEY'='django-insecure-321-do-not-use-this!!!'
...

urls_reuse

In your project root URLconf, use like so:

urlpatterns = [
    path('', include('djinntoux.dproj.urls_reuse')),
    ...
]

Abstract Models

As an example in a models.py file:

from djinntoux.abstract import EditLink, Timestamps, UUIDpk7

...

class Account(Timestamps, EditLink):

EditLink

Set ADMIN_PATH in project settings (do not add a leading slash), e.g. to keep the Django default path without using an environment variable:

ADMIN_PATH = 'admin/'

Then in templates you can use like so:

<a target="_blank" href="{{ obj.get_edit_path }}">Edit</a>

Custom Users App

In project settings add djinntoux.users to INSTALLED_APPS and set AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'zy_users.User'

The main app files are mostly copied verbatim from upstream, tweaked to replace the stock first_name and last_name conventions from upstream with slightly more international options, lightly inspired by the Cookiecutter Django project.

Renames

In project settings make sure INSTALLED_APPS reflects something akin to this:

    'djinntoux.renames.AuthRenamedConfig',
    # 'django.contrib.auth',

    # https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/sites/
    # 'django.contrib.sites',
    'djinntoux.renames.SitesRenamedConfig',

Scraping

from djinntoux.scraping import get_host_and_title

Then use like so:

    def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
        if not self.link_title:
            self.link_title = get_host_and_title(self)[1]
        super(Link, self).save(*args, **kwargs)
