Enhance your Django developer experience: CLI and Guides for the Modern Developer.

Falco

An opinionated toolkit for a modern Django development experience

[!WARNING] This is a work in progress (WIP), this is also fuzzy-couscous new cooler brother.

Falco is a Django-centric toolkit designed to enhance the development experience. The CLI offers commands for initiating new projects, generating simple CRUD views for rapid prototyping, and more. Additionally, it provides a collection of guides specifically tailored to address common issues in web development, focusing on Django projects.

The CLI

This is a set of commands to help you throughout the lifecycle of your django project development, from bootstrapping a new project using modern tools like htmx, hatch, tailwindcss, to generating CRUD views for your models and a few utilities that might help during deployment.

pip install falco-cli

• start-project: Initialize a new django project the falco way.
• crud: Generate CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) views for a model.
• work: Run your whole django projects in one command.
• htmx: Download the latest version (if no version is specified) of htmx.
• htmx-ext: Download one of htmx extensions.
• sync-dotenv: Synchronize the .env file with the .env.template file.
• rm-migrations: Remove all migrations for the specified applications directory, intended only for development.
• make-superuser: Make a superuser from the specified django settings.

The guides

[!NOTE] These are currently a work in progress. Most of them are half-written or not written at all. I hope to get them in a usable state by the end of january 2024.

If you don't find any use of the CLI, I hope you will in these guides. This is a collection of guides that address common issues in web development, specifically tailored to Django. Each guide provides solutions, patterns, and approaches that are relevant to Django projects. It is similar to the Django topic guides, but instead of focusing on components of the framework like forms, models, views, etc., it focuses on more general topics like task queues, deployment, realtime, etc.
