How to properly generate startapp in cookiecutter

[randolphpebenito]

I've just successfully cloned this repo and everything works fine. My only question is how to generate the properly the startapp.

Normal way:
./manage.py startapp

Is it the same way when you use cookiecutter as the boilerplate?

Hi, cookiecutter is a project template to help you generate a production-ready project template. Once you have your project, it's a regular Django project and all the regular Django admin commands apply, as well as the ones from django-extensions locally.

So, yes, the "normal way" still applies, this cookiecutter doesn't provide any hooks to add apps within your project.

If you're looking into creating a reusable, standalone Django app (rather than a Django project), you may want to use cookiecutter-djangopackage instead.
