Django Make App: generate Django app from YAML

Introduction

Django-make-app will generate code of your Django app from a simple YAML schema. This is similar to manage.py startapp but much powerful.

This will be generated from models definitions:

• Admin classes and admin forms
• Django REST framework View Sets, Serializers and Router configuration
• Django AppConfig
• Django System Checks
• Forms classes
• Models classes
• Detail/Delete/Update/Create/List views, urls and templates
• Management command example
• Dummy filter
• Signals and receivers files
• TODO tests

Installation

Supported Python versions are: 2.7, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, pypy and pypy3.

pip install --upgrade django-make-app

Python 3.3 is not supported due to incompatibility of yapf (see: https://github.com/google/yapf#python-versions). If you're on Python 3.3, you can use this package with option django-make-app generate ... --no-optimize (this will skip yapf).

Usage

If you want to generate app called library, create a file app_schema.yaml in project's root and define models:

apps:
    -
        name: library           # all files will be generated into library/ directory (will be created)
        models:
          - User:               # model name
            - name:char         # model field "name" of type "char"
            - email:char        # model field "email" of type "char"
          - Book:               # another model
            - library:fk        # model field "library" of type "foreign key" to "library"
          - Article             # empty model without fields
    -
        name: my_another_awesome_app
        models:
            - City
            - Country

You can also print example configuration by executing (or check templates/example.yaml):

django-make-app write_config > app_schema.yaml

Finally to generate source code of your app, execute:

django-make-app generate library

This structure will be generated:
