Small utilities for making [Zappa](https://github.com/Miserlou/Zappa) deployments slightly easier for Django applications.

This project was inspired by Edgar Roman’s [Zappa Django Guide](https://github.com/edgarroman/zappa-django-guide).

## Installation

Install via pip:

$ pip install zappa-django-utils

Add to your installed apps:

INSTALLED_APPS += (‘zappa_django_utils’,)

## Usage

### Creating a Postgres Database

Once you have your RDS set up, your VPC/Subnet/Security Groups set up, and your DATABASES setting set up, you can create the database with:

$ zappa manage create_pg_db

Then you’re ready to python manage.py makemigrations and zappa update; zappa manage migrate!

### Creating a default admin user

You’ll probably need a default user to manage your application with, so you can now:

$ zappa manage create_admin_user

Now log in with the information that gets returned and immediately change the admin user’s email and password.

### Creating/Dropping a Postgres Schema

You can create a Postgres schema with

$ zappa manage create_pg_schema

and drop it with:

$ zappa manage drop_pg_schema
