plain.dev
A single command that runs everything you need for local development.
The plain.dev package can be installed from PyPI, and does not need to be added to INSTALLED_PACKAGES.
plain dev
The plain dev command does several things:
- Sets
PLAIN_CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINSto localhost by default - Runs
plain preflightto check for any issues - Executes any pending model migrations
- Starts
gunicornwith--reload - Runs
plain tailwind compile --watch, ifplain.tailwindis installed - Any custom process defined in
pyproject.tomlattool.plain.dev.run - Necessary services (ex. Postgres) defined in
pyproject.tomlattool.plain.dev.services
Services
Use services to define databases or other processes that your app needs to be functional. The services will be started automatically in plain dev, but also in plain pre-commit (so preflight and tests have a database).
Ultimately, how you run your development database is up to you. But a recommended starting point is to use Docker:
# pyproject.toml
[tool.plain.dev.services]
postgres = {cmd = "docker run --name app-postgres --rm -p 54321:5432 -v $(pwd)/.plain/dev/pgdata:/var/lib/postgresql/data -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres postgres:15 postgres"}
Custom processes
Unlike services, custom processes are only run during plain dev. This is a good place to run something like ngrok or a Plain worker, which you might need to use your local site, but don't need running for executing tests, for example.
# pyproject.toml
[tool.plain.dev.run]
ngrok = {command = "ngrok http $PORT"}
plain dev services
Starts your services by themselves.
plain pre-commit
A built-in pre-commit hook that can be installed with plain pre-commit --install.
Runs:
- Custom commands defined in
pyproject.tomlattool.plain.pre-commit.run plain code check, ifplain.codeis installedpoetry lock --check, if using Poetryplain preflight --database defaultplain legacy migrate --checkplain legacy makemigrations --dry-run --checkplain compileplain test
VS Code debugging
Since plain dev runs multiple processes at once, the regular pdb debuggers don't quite work.
Instead, we include microsoft/debugpy and an attach function to make it even easier to use VS Code's debugger.
First, import and run the debug.attach() function:
class HomeView(TemplateView):
template_name = "home.html"
def get_template_context(self):
context = super().get_template_context()
# Make sure the debugger is attached (will need to be if runserver reloads)
from plain.dev import debug; debug.attach()
# Add a breakpoint (or use the gutter in VS Code to add one)
breakpoint()
return context
When you load the page, you'll see "Waiting for debugger to attach...".
You can then run the VS Code debugger and attach to an existing Python process, at localhost:5678.
