meringue 1.4.2

A set of various functionality for a Django based web application.

Meringue

A package providing various utilities for Django, such as mixins, form tools, upload handlers, and more.

This library is a collection of reusable components that I frequently use across different projects. Its primary purpose is to clean up and standardize these tools, ensure they are well-tested, and provide clear documentation to make it easy for colleagues to understand and use.

If you decide to use this in your project, or want to improve the implementation, feel free to reach out by mail, create an issue or pull request on GitHub. Contributions are always welcome!

Roadmap

Adding new functionality. Can change.

• Authentication backend for email and password login.
• Functionality for working with images.
  • Image editor like easy_thumbnails.
  • A DRF serializer field that returns a set of images in multiple sizes (e.g., standard and 2x for retina) and formats (e.g., original and WebP).
