Module 1

Start project & start app


Starting a Project
 django-admin.exe startproject myproject

 This command is used to create a new Django project.

 A Django project is a collection of settings and configurations that define a specific

Django instance, including the project settings, URL configurations, and WSGI

configuration.

 django-admin.exe startproject myproject


Starting a Project
 myproject/
 manage.py
 myproject/
 __init__.py
 settings.py
 urls.py
 wsgi.py
 asgi.py
Starting a Project
 myproject/: This outer directory is just a container for your project. Its name doesn’t
matter to Django and you can rename it to anything you like.
 manage.py: A command-line utility that lets you interact with this Django project in
various ways.
 myproject/: This inner directory is the actual Python package for your project. Its
name is the Python package name you’ll need to use to import anything inside it (e.g.,
myproject.settings).
 __init__.py: An empty file that tells Python that this directory should be considered a
Python package.
 settings.py: Settings/configuration for this Django project.
 urls.py: The URL declarations for this Django project; a “table of contents” of your
Django-powered site.
Starting a Project
 wsgi.py: An entry-point for WSGI-compatible web servers to serve your project.
 asgi.py: An entry-point for ASGI-compatible web servers to serve your project.
Starting a App
 django-admin.exe startapp
 This command is used to create a new Django app within your project. A Django app is
a web application that does something, such as a blog system, a database of public
records, or a simple poll application.
 django-admin.exe startapp myapp
 myapp/
 __init__.py
 admin.py
 apps.py
 migrations/
 __init__.py
 models.py
 tests.py
 views.py
Starting a App
 __init__.py: An empty file that tells Python that this directory should be considered a
Python package.
 admin.py: A place to register models with the Django admin site, so you can manage
them through the admin interface.
 apps.py: A configuration file for the app. Django uses it to reference the app and its
configuration.
 migrations/: A directory that will store migration files. Migrations are how Django
stores changes to your models (and thus your database schema) over time.
 __init__.py: An empty file that tells Python that this directory should be considered a
Python package.
 models.py: A place to define your models. Models are the single, definitive source of
information about your data. They contain the essential fields and behaviors of the data
you’re storing.
 tests.py: A place to put your tests.
 views.py: A place to put your views. Views are responsible for processing a request and
returning a response.
