Constraints

Support Cookiecutter Django!

The upstream of this repo, i.e. Cookiecutter Django, is run by volunteers. Please support them in their efforts to maintain and improve Cookiecutter Django:

Usage

Instead of using Wagtail’s :code:start command you will use Cookiecutter to set up your project. Cookiecutter will prompt you for some technical and administrative question like your name, email, and various configuration issues.

First, get Cookiecutter:

$ pip install "cookiecutter>=2.1.1"

Now run it against this repo:

$ cookiecutter https://github.com/Jean-Zombie/cookiecutter-django-wagtail/

You'll be prompted for some values. Provide them, then a Django project will be created for you.

Answer the prompts with your own desired options. For example:

$ git push -u origin master

Now take a look at your repo. Don't forget to carefully look at the generated README. Awesome, right?

For Readers of Two Scoops of Django

You may notice that some elements of this project do not exactly match what we describe in chapter 3. The reason for that is this project, amongst other things, serves as a test bed for trying out new ideas and concepts. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't, but the end result is that it won't necessarily match precisely what is described in the book I co-authored.

For PyUp Users

If you are using PyUp to keep your dependencies updated and secure, use the code cookiecutter during checkout to get 15% off every month.

"Your Stuff"

Scattered throughout the Python and HTML of this project are places marked with "your stuff". This is where third-party libraries are to be integrated with your project.

For MySQL users

To get full MySQL support in addition to the default Postgresql, you can use this fork of the cookiecutter-django: https://github.com/mabdullahadeel/cookiecutter-django-mysql
