Vim-Django is a ViM script that helps manage a django app(s). It has wrapping's
for the django-admin.py, your projects manage.py and some helper
commands. It also has some quick ways to find templates, edit related files
in a app, create new apps, and help manage django while using ViM.
DjangoAdmin will run any command through the django-admin.py
command.
DjangoManage will run the management command for the project
DjangoProjectActivate will activate the project. This will go through
your g:django_projects and find all the django projects. It will also
set up DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE in your environment and the directory
where the settings file is stored in your PYTHONPATH.
DjangoCreateApp will create a new app under your projects base. It will
autocomplete the path. It just needs is a python path such as,
colinbits.apps.new_app this will be created in the folder colinbits,
apps, then run the django-admin.py to create the app there.
There are mappings for easily editing related django files while working on a
app. They all can be changed if you don't like how they are currently mapped.
There are mappings for (v|views), (u|urls), (a|admin),
and (t|tests). If you want to remap these you can call the function
django#apps#edit('name_of_file.py', 'split') and it will open up
the file it fines in a split.
g:django_projects is where your django projects are located.
g:django_activate_virtualenv when true will activate a virtualenv that
starts with the same name. An example being. colinbits, is the site, and the
virtualenv being colinbits.com.
Since not everyone uses the default settings file vim-django will allow you to
add a custom function to activate any project. In your vimrc you can define a
function called ActivateProject it needs to accept one argument. From here
you can have it activate the project.
NERDTree:
g:django_activate_nerdtree when set to 1 will launch nerdtree when
activating the django project.
VirtualEnv:
g:django_activate_virtualenv when set to 1 will activate the virtual
env that starts with the same name.
I recommend using pathogen or vundle to install this script. Else, you can
put the django.vim in the plug-ins directory. This script does require
python to be compiled in.
let g:django_projects = '~/Projects' "Sets all projects under project
let g:django_project_container = 'source' "Inside of these folders look for source
let g:django_activate_virtualenv = 1 "Try to activate the associated virtualenv
let g:django_activate_nerdtree = 1 "Try to open nerdtree at the project root.
- Working with virtualenv's
- I actully reccomend installing vim-virtualenv
