Base Django

Base configuration and structure (or skeleton) when working with Django Web Framework. Now, i'm just using Django 2.x version.

The purpose of this skeleton is to reduce developer's efforts when they try to create an app, we should not create and setup from scratch.

I try to setup all common activities like :

• Logging
• Environment variables
• Integration with Twitter Bootstrap
• Integration with Django Debug Toolbar
• Integration with Mailgun as EmailBackend
• Faker

---

Requirements

• Python: 3.7.x
• Django: 2.7.x
• Pipenv

Usages

• Clone this repo
• pipenv shell
• pipenv install
• Setup configurations, copy env.sample to .env
• Ready to code!

Environment Variable

Please copy and rename env.sample to .env and update all values based on your needs.

Memberships

I just added new functionalities for membership activities, they are :

• Register
• Login
• Forget Password
• Reset Code
• Activation

These codes available at project/memberships . You can learn how to manage your application's module from this app.

Email Using Mailgun

There are two additional configurations :

• MAILGUN_API_KEY
• MAILGUN_DOMAIN

You can get these configurations from your Mailgun's account dashboard. Get all values and set in .env file.

When you need to send an email you can use this code:

from django.core import mail

conn = mail.get_connection() # Will return custom mail backend instance
mailer = mail.EmailMessage(
    'test subject',
    'test message',
    '[email protected]',
    ['[email protected]'],
    connection=conn
)

mailer.send()

To send html:

from django.core import mail

conn = mail.get_connection(as_html=True) # Will return custom mail backend instance
mailer = mail.EmailMessage(
    'test subject',
    '<p>test message</p>',
    '[email protected]',
    ['[email protected]'],
    connection=conn
)

mailer.send()

Or, more simpler way:

from django.core import mail

# will send as text plain
mail.send_mail(
    'test subject',
    'test message',
    '[email protected]',
    ['[email protected]']
)

# will send as html
conn = mail.get_connection(as_html=True) # Will return custom mail backend instance

mail.send_mail(
    'test subject',
    '<p>my message</p>',
    '[email protected]',
    ['[email protected]'],
    connection=conn
)
