SmoothGlue Django Core

Overview

SmoothGlue Django Core provides a robust foundation for creating extendable and secure application features, optimized for highly regulated environments. This project includes reusable Django apps designed to streamline development for applications requiring stringent security and compliance measures.

Key Features

• Abstract Models: Includes abstract models like AuditModel and TimeAuditModel for audit trail functionality in your models.
• Reusable Serializers: A set of base serializers for consistent API development.
• Custom User Model: Extensible user model adaptable to various authentication requirements.
• Environment-specific Configuration: Designed for easy configuration in different environments (development, staging, production).
• Authentication Frameworks: Authentication backends for JWT auth, and creating bootstrap superusers

Installation

Prerequisites

• Python 3.12+
• Django 4.2+
• Django REST Framework 3.15.2+

Install SmoothGlue Django Core From PyPI (Official Use)

1. Use pip and the following command inside the Django project:

   pip install smoothglue_django_core
   

2. Enable Smoothglue Django Core's apps in your settings.py:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    # ... other installed apps ...
    'smoothglue.core',
    'smoothglue.authentication',
    'smoothglue.tracker',
    # ... other installed apps ...
]

3. Database Migrations:

Run the migrations to create the necessary database tables:

python manage.py migrate

4. Optional: Enable bootstrap user:

Update settings.py to enable the RootAdminBackend, and set the username and password

AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = [
    # ...
    "smoothglue.authentication.auth.RootAdminBackend",
    # ...
]
ROOT_ADMIN_USERNAME = "my_admin_user"
ROOT_ADMIN_PASSWORD = "my_admin_password"

You will be able to authenticate with username my_admin_user and password my_admin_password.

5. Optional: Enable JWT Authentication:

Update settings.py to enable the JWT middleware. This allows users to authenticate with a JWT to all views.

MIDDLEWARE = [
    # ...
    "smoothglue.authentication.auth.platform_authentication_middleware"
    # ...
]

6. Run the development server to confirm the project continues to work.

API Usage

This package exposes several API endpoints to manage users, organizations, and other related data.

Authentication

This package uses JWT-based authentication. The JWT is decoded from the Authorization or Jwt header of the request. In a development environment, ENABLE_SINGLE_USER_MODE can be set to True to bypass JWT authentication and use a default " UnknownUser".
