A cli tool based on django's startproject --template to bootstrap your django projects with a modern stack. The project template is heavily inspired by cookiecutter-django but is meant to be a simpler version. The cli also comes with additional commands to hopefully improve your django development experience.

• Django 4+
• Python 3.10+
• Frontend: htmx with editor support using web-types
• Template fragment with django-render-block
• Secure production settings, https only.
• Settings using django-environ
• Login / signup via django-allauth
• Custom user model based on django-improved-user

• Optional production cache settings using the CACHE_URL or REDIS_URL environment variables.
• captain-definition for deploying to caprover

• Default integration with pre-commit for identifying simple issues before submission to code review
• Integrated task runner with poethepoet
• Dependency management using poetry (can be replaced by virtualenv using the remove-poetry command)

Templates

I use github branches to create variations of the base template.

• main: The base template
• tailwind: The base template + tailwindcss via pytailwindcss
• bootstrap: The base template + bootstrap5 via django-bootstrap5

Note: If some of my decisions about the project template don't make sense to you, read this section of the documentation.

Quickstart

Install the latest version of the package

pip install fuzzy-couscous --upgrade

Initialize a new project

cuzzy make project_name

Development

Poetry is required (not really, you can set up the environment however you want and install the requirements manually) to set up a virtualenv, install it then run the following:

pre-commit install --install-hooks

Tests can then be run quickly in that environment:

pytest
