Django Boilerplate

Includes:

• Custom user model
• User registration
• Linting (flake8 / mypy)

How to set up

1. Create a virtual environment

python3 -m venv venv

2. Rename djangoproject/.env.sample, djangoproject/.env. Change the secret key to a value of your choice.

3. Install requirements

pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Run migrations

python manage.py migrate

5. Create a superuser

python manage.py createsuperuser

6. Enable linting (VScode only)

Create a directory called .vscode

In .vscode, create a file called settings.json

Copy the contents of settings.json.sample into settings.json.

This will enable Flake8, Mypy and Black. It will also enable autoformatting of Python files on-save as per the Black specification.
