Modular Django boilerplate

Django Boilerplate → go-django 📦

A modular, scalable, and DRY backend boilerplate built on Django. Designed to provide production-ready patterns (service, repository, serializer, view) and a CLI command to scaffold new modules with zero friction.

---

🚀 Features

• Modular directory structure (Django-onion architecture)
• Base classes for Model, Repository, Service, Serializer, APIView
• Unified decorator for query & body validation
• Command to scaffold CRUD-ready Django apps
• Auto admin registration
• Auto test stub generation
• Pagination and soft-delete support

---

📦 Installation

pip install go-django

Or for local development:

pip install -e .

🧱 Generate a Module

python manage.py generate_module <app_name> <Entity>

Example

python manage.py generate_module users User

Creates:

users/
├── __init__.py
├── admin.py
├── models.py
├── urls.py
├── repositories/
│   └── user_repository.py
├── serializers/
│   └── user_serializer.py
├── services/
│   └── user_service.py
├── views/
│   └── user_view.py
└── tests/
    └── test_user_service.py

🔹 BaseRepository

• ORM encapsulation: get_by_id, filter, exists, etc.

• Unified error handling using custom exceptions

🔹 Decorator: @validate_request

• Combines request.data and request.query_params

🧪 Testing

Each generated module includes test stubs inside:

<app_name>/tests/test_<entity>_service.py

Use Django's TestCase or plug in pytest if preferred.
