Disclaimer

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

Environment Variables

The following are expected to be set in your environment, a .env file, or a .envrc file:

DATABASE_URL            # no default
DJANGO_SECRET_KEY       # no default
DJANGO_DEBUG            # defaults to false
DJANGO_ENV_NAME         # defaults to prod
DJANGO_ADMIN_HEADER_BG  # defaults to red

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

https://github.com/venteto/djinntoux/blob/main/djinntoux/abstract/ab_mod.py

As an example in a models.py file:

from djinntoux.abstract.ab_mod 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

https://github.com/venteto/djinntoux/tree/main/djinntoux/dapp_users

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

The admin.py file is copied verbatim from upstream, tweaked to replace the stock first_name and last_name conventions from with slightly more international options, lightly inspired by the Cookiecutter Django project. The custom user model also includes a new timezone field.

Renames

https://github.com/venteto/djinntoux/blob/main/djinntoux/dproj/rename.py

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

    'djinntoux.dproj.rename.ContribAuth',   # replaces 'django.contrib.auth',
    'djinntoux.dproj.rename.ContribSites',  # replaces 'django.contrib.sites',

Scraping

https://github.com/venteto/djinntoux/blob/main/djinntoux/utils/scrape.py

from djinntoux.utils.scrape 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)

TODO (Includes, But Not Limited To)

• dapp_ttags (or make dproj itself an app in addition to a project directory?)
• templates dir (including admin overrides)
• static files? or just link to a pseudo-CDN in base template?
  • compressor?
• robots.txt view
• error views
• favicon view
• aggregation util
• abstract view and admin classes
