Django ​

OSS Django Apps ​

• Django Rest Framework + Next.js + Tailwind

Notes ​

• Make migration (where ./manage is a script that wraps over python manage.py):
  1. Change model. Add/remove fields etc.
  2. Run ./manage makemigrations to create migration from changed models. (can run ./manage makemigrations -n <migration-name> to give it custom name).
  3. Migration file is created. Run ./manage migrate to apply
• Run tests:
  • ./manage test = run all tests
  • ./manage test -k path.to.test = run specific test. can also run some function from the test inside the file with another ..
• Migrate down/up: ./manage migrate <app> <migration-number>
• Make empty migration: ./manage makemigrations --empty <name-of-migration> <app>
• Rewrote the Pegasus teams UI in HTMX and I gotta say I'm sold. You build an app in standard Django, add a few annotations, and then boom: SPA. The number of situations in which I'll reach for React by default just got chopped in half at least.
