Working With Django Projects, The Basics
Creating a new project[1]
$ django-admin.py startproject mysite
Define a database connection
Enter database properties in myproject/settings.py, then from the project root:[2]
$ python manage.py migrate
Run the server
$ python manage.py runserver
The server address will be reported in the output of that command, typically http://127.0.0.1:8000/
Add an app
$ python manage.py startapp myapp
- Define some models in
myapp/models.py. - Add the app name to
INSTALLED_APPSinmysiet/settings.py. - Then:
$ python manage.py makemigrations myapp $ python manage.py migrate
The makemigrations and migrate commands are run anytime there is a change to the models.[3]
Command-line API[4]
$ python manage.py shell
Create an admin user
$ python manage.py createsuperuser
And then enter in credentials using the prompts.[5]
