Project structure

The main django app is called app. It contains .env file for django-environ. For examples see src/app/.env.ci. Here are some usefull app-wide tools:

• app.admin — app-wide django-admin customizations (empty yet), check out usage examples
• app.test.api_client (available as api and anon fixtures within pytest) — a convinient DRF test client.

Django user model is located in the separate users app.

Also, feel free to add as much django apps as you want.

Backend Code requirements

Style

• Obey django's style guide.
• Configure your IDE to use flake8 for checking your python code. To run our linters manualy, do make lint
• Prefer English over your native language in comments and commit messages.
• Commit messages should contain the unique id of issue they are linked to (refs #100500)
• Every model, service and model method should have a docstring.

Code organisation

• KISS and DRY.
• Obey django best practices.
• No logic is allowed within the views or serializers. Only services and models. When a model grows beyond 500 lines of code — go create some services.
• Use PEP-484 type hints when possible.
• Prefer composition over inheritance.
• Never use signals or GenericRelations in your own code.
• No l10n is allowed in python code, use django translation.
