Tutorial: Creating Your First Django Project
=====================================
[Demonstration time: 7 mins 30 secs (0.812 ~ 81%) | Total time: 9 mins 11 s]
-------------
Slide 1 [00:08 | 00:08]
-------------
Title Slide: ** Creating a Django Project **
Slide 2 [00:12 | 00:20]
--------------
**Learning Objectives**
In this tutorial, we will learn to;
- Create a django project
- Initialize a django app
Slide 3 [00:11 | 00:31]
---------------
**System Requirements**
- Ubuntu 16.10
- Python 3.5 or higher version
- python3.4-venv
Slide 4 [00:15 | 00:46]
---------------
**Pre-requisites**
In order to follow this tutorial, you need to know;
- how to use a virtual environment
- how to install django
- If not, see the relevant django tutorial on http://spoken-tutorial.org
Demonstration: [01:30 | 2:16]
------------
- Revisit the virtual environment created in previous tutorial.
- Activate the virtual environment
- Create a new directory
- mkdir myproject
- Go to the directory
- cd myproject
- Run the command
- *django-admin startproject mysite*
- This will create a django project 'mysite'
Demonstration: [02:00 | 4:16]
-------------
- A Django project:
- is a collection of settings for an instance of Django
- includes;
- database configuration
- Django-specific options
- Application-specific settings
**(Not for narration) Note: For this demonstration we can navigate through project files and explain them **
Slide 5: [00:05 | 04:21]
-------------
- You will see such a File structure
myproject/
|-> manage.py
`-> mysite/
|-> __init__.py
|-> settings.py
|-> urls.py
`-> wsgi.py
Demonstration [01:30 | 05:51]
---------------
- Now let us run the django server and check;
- *python manage.py runserver*
- You will see that the server is running at the address shown.
- Go to the address via web browser
- We see the django's index page- "It works"
- Here we can see the command to create an app in django.
Slide [00:10 | 06:01]
-----------
**Initializing a Django App**
- A Django project typically contains one or more apps
- A Django app performs a particular task
- Let us create a blogging app called 'blog'
Demonstration [01:30 | 07:31]
--------------
- Run the command;
- *python manage.py startapp blog*
This creates an app 'blog'
- A new directory 'blog' is created.
- Execute *cd blog/*
- You will see the file structure(This can be in slide or terminal)
blog/
|-> __init__.py
|-> admin.py
|-> apps.py
|-> migrations/
`-> __init__.py
|-> models.py
|-> tests.py
`-> views.py
- Return to the parent directory
- *cd ..*
Demonstration [01:00 | 08:31]
------------
** Adding the app to the settings file**
- For the project to detect an app, we need to add the app name to settings.py
- Open the *settings.py* file
- Go to *INSTALLED_APPS* and add *'blog.apps.BlogConfig',* to the list so it should now look like this;
INSTALLED_APPS = [
'blog.apps.BlogConfig',
'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.staticfiles',
]
- So now our app will be recognized by our project.
- In the next tutorial we will see how to build the Blog app
Slide 13 [00:10 | 08:41]
