DEAM (Django External Apps Manager)

IMPORTANT: not for use on production sites (for now)

This project is focused on resolving the recurring problem of managing external apps when working with django projects by taking a different approach: custom commands.

Installation

1. Download DEAM from Github
2. Add DEAM to your python path and to the INSTALLED_APPS on your project

Setting Up

The first step is to choose in which folder you will have your external applications. This folders will have to include a file called *external.apps* with the following file format:

Format for the apps file:

     
        [app_name]
        url: project url
        type: vcs type
        directory: directory wanted
        ...
        [other app_name]
        ...
    

After correctly setting the external.apps files on your different folders, you can now execute this commands from your project root:

1. Download or update a single application: python manage.py get_apps [app_name]
2. List all external applications: python manage.py -l
3. Download or update all applications: python manage.py -a
