It contains the name and optionally suitable version range of each package. You use pip to install packages from this list into your virtual environment. We cover the setup of and installation from requirements files in Chapter 5: Settings and Requirements Files.
Whenever you work on any Django project, you should use a version control system to keep track of your code changes. Git is the industry standard for developers of all languages and tools. Git makes it easy to create branches and merge changes.
Fortunately, there are a number of services and tools who host repositories. Of them, we recommend using GitHub github. Python setup differences. Because setting up Python properly and understanding your setup completely is hard. Developer-to-developer differences. It has excellent support across all operating systems, including Microsoft Windows.
Working with Docker is sort of like developing inside of a VM, except more lightweight. Docker containers share the host OS but have their own isolated process and memory space. Furthermore, since Docker uses a union-capablefilesystem, containers can be built quickly off of a snapshot plus deltas rather than building from scratch.
For the purposes of local development, its main benefit is that it makes setting up environments that closely match development and production much easier. Even on newer machines, small but noticeable overhead is added. These are good to have in your tool chest, since they are commonly used not just in Django, but in the majority of Python software development. In this chapter, we present our approach, which is one of the most commonly used ones. The rest of this chapter will explain why.
Our layouts at the highest level are: Example 3. In addition to the and , we also include other critical components 20 Please submit issues to github.
Figure 3. Nonconfiguration Python code files are inside this directory, its subdirectories, or below. If using django-admin startproject, you would run the command from within the repository root. The Django project that it generates would then be the project root. If using django-admin startproject, the configuration root is initially inside of the Django project root.
It should be moved to the repository root. The files in the configuration root are part of what is generated by the django-admin startproject command. Imagine that we are creating Ice Cream Ratings, a web application for rating different brands and flavors of ice cream.
This is how we would lay out such a project: Example 3. We describe them in the table below: File or Directory. The of the project, where project-wide settings, urls. Contains simple deployment tasks and macros. For more complex deployments you may want to rely on tools like Invoke, Paver, or Fabric. Refer to Chapter 5: Settings and Requirements Files for more details. Developer-facing project documentation. We cover this in Chapter Documentation: Be Obsessed. A list of Python packages required by your project, including the Django 3.
The of the project. Table 3. For larger projects, this will be hosted on separate static media server s. App for managing and displaying ice cream brands. App for managing and displaying user profiles. App for managing user ratings. Where you put your site-wide Django templates. Notice how there is no virtualenv directory anywhere in the project directory or its subdirectories?
That is completely intentional. A good place to create the virtualenv for this project would be a separate directory where you keep all of your virtualenvs for all of your Python projects. We like to put all our environments in one directory and all our projects in another. For example, on Mac or Linux: Example 3. Just remember that requirements. This is a red flag to people looking over such projects, demonstrating in the clearest terms the inexperience of the person.
The same goes for. The way to avoid making this mistake is for all projects to have a. However, over time the controls deployment, front end tooling, etc around a project grow more and more complex. Most of us hit the limitations of startproject quickly and need a more powerful project templating tool. Hence the use of Cookiecutter cookiecutter. It was the first project to template file paths and file contents identically, an idea I thought was silly but decided to implement anyway.
Numerous companies use Cookiecutter internally to power a variety of tools. In this section, we present a popular Django project template, rendered by Cookiecutter. First, install Cookiecutter as per the instructions in the official Cookiecutter documentation. Is it okay to delete and re-download it? In this case with the values entered above, the name of this directory will be icecreamratings.
The resulting project files will be roughly similar to the layout example we provided. The project will include settings, requirements, starter documentation, a starter test suite, and more. Keep in mind that Cookiecutter Django goes much further than the basic project layout components that we outlined earlier in this chapter. You are welcome to fork Cookiecutter Django and customize it to fit your own Django project needs.
We encourage you to explore the forks of Cookiecutter Django, and to search for other Cookiecutter-powered Django project templates online. More information can be found at github. We provided a detailed example to give you as much insight as possible into our practice.
Cookiecutter and two templates are introduced. Project layout is one of those areas of Django where practices differ widely from developer to developer and group to group.
What works for a small team may not work for a large team with distributed resources. Whatever layout is chosen it should be documented clearly. A Django project is a web application powered by the Django web framework. Django apps are small libraries designed to represent a single aspect of a project. A Django project is made up of many Django apps. Some of those apps are internal to the project and will never be reused; others are third-party Django packages.
Third-party Django packages are simply pluggable, reusable Django apps that have been packaged with the Python packaging tools. Figure 4.
If not, read it again. He taught us everything that we know about good Django app design. Picture us getting ready to open the shop: polishing the countertops, making the first batches of ice cream, and building the website for our shop. The apps within our Django project might be something like: 32 Please submit issues to github.
Each one of these apps does one particular thing. Notice how events are kept separate from ticket sales. Did we say that this was a fictional example? We like to use naming systems that are dull, boring, and obvious.
In fact, we advocate doing the following: When possible keep to single word names like flavors, animals, blog, polls, dreams, estimates, and finances. A good, easy-to-remember app name makes the project easier to maintain. You should also consider how you want your URLs to appear when choosing a name.
Use valid, PEP 8-compliant, importable Python package names: short, all-lowercase names without numbers, dashes, periods, spaces, or special characters. If needed for readability, you can use underscores to separate words, although the use of underscores is discouraged.
Sometimes you have to rewrite them or break them up. Try and keep your apps small. In this section, we cover both the common and uncommon Python modules that belong in an app. For those with even a modicum of experience with Django, skipping to Section 4. Example 4. Probably not from an immediate technical perspective, but when you or others look at nonstandard module names later, it will prove to be a frustrating experience.
See Section If there are enough of them involved in an app, breaking them out into their own module can add clarity to a project. For more information on decorators, see Section 9. Described in brief in Section These are where we put code extracted from views Section 8. Synonymous with utils.
Global-level modules are described in Section Ruby on Rails or Rails for short, is a successful Ruby-powered application framework approximately the same age as Django. There are enough similarities between Django and Rails as well as Python and Ruby to make their approach worth examining.
The classic example is the process of creating user objects and related data across multiple models and apps. In our case a ticket to enter the Icecreamlandia theme Please submit issues to github.
Others prefer to use class methods instead. So we might see: Example 4. Specifically, embedding logic in the User code to call the Ticket code tightly couples the two domains. Thus, a new layer is added to keep concerns separate, and this is called the service layer. Code for this architecture is placed in service.
There are positives to this approach. Specifically, migrations are easier and table names follow a simplified pattern. It has to be said that other frameworks such as Rails embrace this technique and are quite successful. Using this technique with Django requires experience and expertise with patterns rarely described in documentation on Django. Eventually either the project collapses under its own growing complexity or the files are broken up into sub-modules based on the domains covered by models.
Please note this can work if done with careful foresight. Indeed, Audrey has done it with a project to great success, it did involve a bit more juggling of code than expected. He has an interesting take on how to structure a Django project. In his design, James overtly rewrites common patterns for Django.
While it appears to work for him, it makes for a harder-to-maintain project in that any new developer on the project has to learn a new paradigm. The charm of Django is heavily based on convention over configuration, and his design explicitly breaks it.
Specifically, each Django app should be tightly-focused on its own task and possess a simple, easy-to-remember name. If an app seems too complex, it should be broken up into smaller apps. We also covered alternative approaches to architecting apps and how logic is called within them. Settings are loaded when your server starts up, and experienced Django developers stay away from trying to change settings in production since they require a server restart.
Figure 5. This is especially true in production environments, where dates, times, and explanations for settings changes absolutely must be tracked. You should inherit from a base settings file rather than cutting-and-pasting from one file to another. They should be kept out of version control. Now we know better. Furthermore, there are often good reasons to keep specific settings out of public or private code repositories.
For more details, read docs. Developers now make development-specific settings changes, including the incorporation of business logic without the code being tracked in version control. Staging and deployment servers can have location-specific settings and logic without them being tracked in version control.
What could possibly go wrong?!? See slideshare. Instead of having one settings. This directory will typically contain something like the following: Example 5. Local development-specific settings include DEBUG mode, log level, and activation of developer tools like django-debug-toolbar. This is where managers and clients should be looking before your work is moved to production. Settings for running tests including test runners, in-memory database definitions, and log settings.
This is the settings file used by your live production server s. That is, the server s that host the real live website. This file contains production-level settings only. It is sometimes called prod. Then, once the virtualenv is activated, you can just type python from anywhere and import those values into your project.
This also means that typing django-admin at the command-line works without the --settings option. EmailBackend' Please submit issues to github. You and other developers will be sharing the same development settings files, which for shared projects, is awesome. Settings just got a whole lot simpler! The reason is that for the singular case of Django setting modules we want to override all the namespace. A nice way to do this is with multiple dev settings files, e.
Here is what our projects frequently use for settings layout: Example 5. Secrets often should be just that: secret! To resolve this, our answer is to use environment variables in a pattern we like to call, well, The Environment Variables Pattern.
Every operating system supported by Django and Python provides the easy capability to create environment variables. Here are the benefits of using environment variables for secret keys: Please submit issues to github.
All of your Python code really should be stored in version control, including your settings. For reference, see 12factor. Some developers even advocate combining the use of environment variables with a single settings modules. For more information, see en.
Macs on Catalina and afterwards use. You can set them one-by-one at the command line cmd. However, setting it up requires a more-thanbasic understanding of the shell and Mac, Linux, or Windows. This means that even if you deactivate a virtualenv, the environment variable remains. However, there are occasions when we want to tightly control environment variables. To do this, we execute the appropriate command for the operating system or shell variant: Example 5. For the simplest 1-server setup for test projects, you 52 Please submit issues to github.
Check the documentation for your deployment tools for more information. To see how you access environment variables from the Python side, open up a new Python prompt and type: Example 5. Following this pattern means all code can remain in version control, and all secrets remain safe. Without a more helpful error message, this can be hard to debug, especially under the pressure of deploying to servers while users are waiting and your ice cream is melting. And just to be helpful we add the name of the problem setting to the error message.
The downside is the same you get with any complex packages: sometimes the edge cases cause problems. The most common scenario for this is when using Apache for serving HTTP, but this also happens even in Nginx-based environments where operations wants to do things in a particular way.
To implement the secrets file pattern, follow these three steps: 1 Create a secrets file using the configuration format of choice, be it JSON,.
To do this, first create a secrets. Example 5. Definitely worth a look and something we want to see other tools and hosting platforms adopt. Reference: github. Just remember to be familiar with things like yaml. The results should look something like: Example 5. For example, you might have something like the following in there: Please submit issues to github.
This ensures a more stable project. We cover this at length in Section This section will help you resolve these errors. We humbly beseech the reader to never hardcode file paths in Django settings files.
This is really bad: Example 5. The above code, called a fixed path, is bad because as far as you know, pydanny Daniel Feldroy is the only person who has set up their computer to match this path structure. Anyone else trying to use this example will see their project break, forcing them to either change their directory structure unlikely or change the settings module to match their preference causing problems for everyone else including pydanny.
We provide our solution, as well as an Apache-friendly solution since it works well for both beginning and advanced developers. Also, if you prefer a different shell than the ones provided, environment variables still work.
The same thing applies to requirements files. Working with untracked dependency differences increases risk as much as untracked settings. Racing to write Django models without thinking things through can lead to problems down the road. All too frequently we developers rush into adding or modifying models without considering the ramifications of what we are doing.
So keep this in mind when adding new models in Django or modifying existing ones. Take your time to think things through, and design your foundation to be as strong and sound as possible.
The downside of this library is that it includes a lot of other functionality which breaks from our preference for small, focused apps. In practice, we like to lower this number to no more than five to ten models per app. Django provides three ways to do model inheritance: abstract base classes, multi-table inheritance, and proxy models.
Here are the pros and cons of the three model inheritance styles. To give a complete comparison, we also include the option of using no model inheritance to begin with: Model Inheritance Style No model inheritance: if models have a common field, give both models that field. Abstract base classes: tables are only created for derived models. Multi-table inheritance: tables are created for both parent and child.
An implied OneToOneField links parent and child. Proxy models: a table is only created for the original model. Pros Cons Makes it easiest to un- If there are a lot of fields duderstand at a glance how plicated across models, this Django models map to can be hard to maintain. Having the common fields We cannot use the parent in an abstract parent class class in isolation. Gives each model its own Adds substantial overhead table, so that we can query since each query on a child either parent or child table requires joins with all model.
It also gives us the abil- We strongly recommend ity to get to a child ob- against using multi-table ject from a parent object: inheritance. See the warnparent. Python behavior. Table 6. We strongly recommend against using it. Here are some simple rules of thumb for knowing which type of inheritance to use and when: If the overlap between models is minimal e.
Just add the fields to both models. Instead of multi-table inheritance, use explicit OneToOneFields and ForeignKeys between models so you can control when joins are traversed. A better solution is to write a TimeStampedModel to do the work for us: Example 6. On the other hand, if TimeStampedModel was not an abstract base class i.
Any reference to Flavor that reads or writes to the TimeStampedModel would impact two tables. This is even more true when you subclass a concrete model class multiple times.
All we do is type python manage. Also, review the SQL that will be used with the sqlmigrate command. If the number of migrations becomes unwieldy, use squashmigrations to bring them to heel.
Most, but not all of these can be resolved. However, by default django. See: docs. You simply cannot call any custom methods during a migration. See the reference link below: docs. Consider yourself warned, this can be a devastating gotcha. However, some of the code callables that we write are idempotent. For example, they combine existing data into a newly added field.
When this happens, use RunPython. However, when reversing the migration, writing code to remove the cones is pointless; migrations.
Therefore, we should use RunPython. Before deployment, check that you can rollback migrations! Migrations on real data can take much, much, much more time than anticipated. MySQL lacks transaction support around schema changes, hence rollbacks are impossible. Not seconds or minutes, but hours. Figure 6. Not including migration code in version control is just like not including settings files in VCS: You might be able to develop, but should you switch machines or bring someone else into the project, then everything will break.
If you are unfamiliar with database normalization, make it your responsibility to gain an understanding, as working with models in Django effectively requires a working knowledge of this. Take the time to make sure that no model should contain data already stored in another model. At this stage, use relationship fields liberally. You want to have a good sense of the shape of your data.
Denormalization may seem like a panacea for what causes problems in a project. Please, please, please explore caching before denormalization. By default, they are False. The possibilities are endless, but remember that binary data can come in huge chunks, which can slow down databases. If this occurs and becomes a bottleneck, the solution might be to save the binary data in a file and reference it with a FileField.
Storing files in a database field should never happen. Okay if you want to be able to set the value to NULL in the database. Otherwise, they get stored as empty strings. The same pattern for CharField applies here. Okay if you want the corresponding form widget to accept empty values. Okay if you want the corresponding form widget e. Okay if you want to make the corresponding field widget accept empty values. The truth is that npmjs. They are usually more trouble than they are worth.
Using them is often a sign that troublesome shortcuts are being taken, that the wrong solution is being explored. The idea of generic relations is that we are binding one table to another by way of an unconstrained foreign key GenericForeignKey. Using it is akin to using a NoSQL datastore that lacks foreign key constraints as the basis for projects that could really use foreign key constraints.
The upside of this lack of constraints is that generic relations make it easier to build apps for things that need to interact with numerous model types we might have created. Specifically things like favorites, ratings, voting, messages, and tagging apps. Indeed, there are a number of existing apps that are built this way.
While we hesitate to use them, we are comforted by the fact that the good ones are focused on a single task for example, tagging. For a little more development work, by avoiding the use of GenericForeignKey we get the benefit of speed and integrity. For example, if we built an Ice Cream themed project where the relationships between toppings, flavors, 74 Please submit issues to github. The isolation a thirdparty app provides will help keep data cleaner.
For another view that shares our opinion, please read lukeplant. As these are constants tied to your model and the represented data being able to easily access them everywhere makes development easier.
This technique is described in docs. If we translate that to an ice cream- based example, we get: Example 6. Built into Django as of the release of 3. Example 6. Model : class Flavors models. Specifically: Named groups are not possible with enumeration types. Enumeration types for choice fields provide a lovely API.
Then we switch to the older tuple-based method. The reason for this is that before Django 1. However, it proved so useful that it is now a documented API. Model managers are said to act on the full set of all possible instances of this model class all the data in the table to restrict the ones you want to work with. Django provides a default model manager for each model class, but we can define our own. That way you could have something like: Example 6.
Unfortunately, our experiences in real project development make us very careful when we use this method. This breaks significantly with the normal Python pattern, causing what can appear to be unpredictable results from QuerySets.
Manager should be defined manually above any custom model manager. Manager above any custom model manager that has a new name. Additional reading: docs. That way, any view or task can use the same logic. Used on review detail views so the reader can get a feel for the overall opinion without leaving the page.
As can be inferred from this list, fat models are a great way to improve the reuse of code across a project. In fact, the practice of moving logic from views and templates to models has been growing across projects, frameworks, and languages for years. This is a good thing, right? Not necessarily. This anti-pattern results in model classes that 80 Please submit issues to github. Because of their size and complexity, god objects are hard to understand, hence hard to test and maintain.
When moving logic into models, we try to remember one of the basic ideas of objectoriented programming, that big problems are easier to resolve when broken up into smaller problems. If a model starts to become unwieldy in size, we begin isolating code that is prime for reuse across other models, or whose complexity requires better management. The methods, classmethods, and properties are kept, but the logic they contain is moved into Model Behaviors or Stateless Helper Functions.
Models inherit logic from abstract models. Stateless Helper Functions By moving logic out of models and into utility functions, it becomes more isolated. This isolation makes it easier to write tests for the logic. The downside is that the functions are stateless, hence all arguments have to be passed. However, when both are used judiciously, they can make projects shine. This kind of evolution is tricky, prompting our suggestion to have tests for the components of fat models.
His entire blog is full of excellent information. You may be able to simplify slow, complex queries by dropping down to raw SQL, or you may be able to address your performance issues with caching in the right places. If you decide to use model inheritance, inherit from abstract base classes rather than concrete models.
Refer to our handy table for guidance. You may find django-model-utils and django-extensions pretty handy. Finally, fat models are a way to encapsulate logic in models, but can all too readily turn into god objects. At its best, Web development is an exciting, creative act; at.
