Django cli add-on for generating apps, models, serializers, views, urls

Installation

Install with pip:

$ pip install manny

Then add it to your INSTALLED_APPS.

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'rest_framework',
    'scaffold',
    ...
)

Usage

To create multiple apps at once, run the following command, where args are future app names:

$ python manage.py scaffold-app app1 app2 ...

To create models, serializers, views, urls, run the following command:

$ python manage.py scaffold {app_name} {options}

Option
-m, --model {fields}	Add a model with specific fields. Default fields: update_date, create_date
-s, --serializers {model_names}	Add a new serializer for the specific model; by default for all models
-vi, --views {model_names}	Add a view for the specific model; by default for all models
-u	Add urls for all models

To create models, use the following syntax:

$ python manage.py scaffold {app_name} -m {model_name} title:Char:255 books:Foreign::CASCADE

To specify a field, you must pass the arguments in this order:

NAME:FIELD_TYPE:FIELD_OPTIONS(only required)

Field options are optional because there are default values.
Result:

class Book(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    books = models.ForeignKey("self", on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    update_date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)
    create_date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)

    class Meta:
        ordering = ["-id"]
