This is simple CRUD application that uses the Django framework. This project is based on the Django Workshop. To see full project that was the basis of the workshop, here is the link
- Django. Recommended version used is provided in requirements.txt in case problems occur
- Virtualenv. It strongly recommended to always run in a sandboxed environment especially when working on mulitple projects. For more information please check out the official documentation.
- Alternatively you can also use conda environments
When the requirements have been installed first run the migration tool to initialize the database.
python manage.py migrate
This uses SQLite for portability.
Then :
python manage.py runserver
currently work in progress
python manage.py startapp notes
This will create a note app.
we create our model
Under notes/models.py
class AuditModelMixin(models.Model):
created_time = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
modified_time = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)
class Meta:
abstract = True
class Note(AuditModelMixin):
title = models.CharField(max_length=129, blank=True)
note = models.TextField(blank=True)Here we create an abstract class AuditModelMixin, a class that we will inherit for reuse some fields such as created_time and modified_time
the Note class will be the model for the items we will be using
After creating our model, run
python manage.py makemigrations
This will generate sql migration scripts or files that will generate our tables. Then we will run
python manage.py migrate
To apply the changes in the database
Now that we have our tables, we can proceed in creating our views and template.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Notes App {{ page_title }}</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css">
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12">
{% block content %}
{% endblock %}
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>Save this file as base.html. This will serve as the page that we will extend for the other templates we will be using. We will then create those templates. Since the {% block content %} is where our content will go, just write the content you need on the template you will write.
