Start Django App

Start-django-app is a command-line tool that automates the creation of a new Django project by setting up a virtual environment, installing Django, and initializing the project. It works on both Windows and Unix-like systems, ensuring cross-platform compatibility.

Features

• Automatically creates a virtual environment in the project directory.
• Installs Django inside the virtual environment.
• Initializes a new Django project with a given project name.
• Cross-platform support (Windows, macOS, and Linux).

Requirements

• Python 3.6 or higher must be installed on your system.
• Ensure pip is installed and up to date.

Installation

You can install start-django-app using pip:

pip install start-django-app

Usage

To create a new Django project, run the following command:

start-django-app <project_name>

Replace <project_name> with the desired name of your Django project.

Example

start-django-app my_project

This will:

1. Create a directory named my_project.
2. Set up a virtual environment in my_project/.venv.
3. Install Django within the virtual environment.
4. Initialize a new Django project inside the my_project directory with django-admin.

Virtual Environment

After creating the project, the virtual environment will be automatically created and set up. However, due to the nature of subprocess, the virtual environment will be deactivated once the script finishes running.

You can manually activate the virtual environment by navigating into the project directory and using the following commands:

• Windows:

cd my_project
.venv\Scripts\activate

• macOS/Linux:

cd my_project
.venv/bin/activate

To deactivate the virtual environment, run:

deactivate
