A Django accounting application

Project description

mia-accounting

The Django Accounting application.

Description

mia-accounting is a Django accounting application. It was a re-write of my own private accounting application written in Perl for mod_perl in 2007. The revision aims to be mobile-friendly with Bootstrap, with a modern back-end framework and front-end technology like jQuery. The first revision was in Perl / Mojolicious in 2019. This is the second revision in Python / Django in 2020.

mia-accounting comes with two parts:

  • The accounting application contains the main accounting application.

  • The mia_core application contains core shared libraries that are used by the accounting application and my other applications.

You may try it in live demonstration at https://accounting.imacat.idv.tw/accounting .

INSTALLED_APPS = [
  'mia_core.apps.MiaCoreConfig',

  path('jsi18n/', JavaScriptCatalog.as_view(), name='javascript-catalog'),
  ...
]

base.html

Add the following to the very beginning of your base template base.html, before your first real HTML tag.

{% load mia_core %}
{% init_libs %}
{% block settings %}{% endblock %}

Add the CSS and JavaScripts in the <head>...</head> section of your base template base.html.

{% for css in libs.css %}
  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{% if css|is_static_url %}{% static css %}{% else %}{{ css }}{% endif %}" />
