djmvc

Faster Django development by getting more out of less.

djmvc is a thin MVC layer on top of Django. Declare controllers and views in code, get secure CRUD and routing by default, and expose the view object directly to templates.

Read the philosophy for the full rationale.

Install

pip install --pre djmvc

Note: The --pre flag is required for pre-release dependency versions.

See installation for setup, or try the demo to explore the example project.

Quick start

# myapp/djmvc.py
import djmvc

from .models import YourModel


class YourModelController(djmvc.ModelController):
    model = YourModel


djmvc.site.routes.append(YourModelController)

# urls.py
import djmvc

urlpatterns = djmvc.site.build().urlpatterns

Add myapp to INSTALLED_APPS. build() autodiscovers each app's djmvc.py (like Django admin) — the import runs routes.append() before the route registry is built.
