django-todo

A brief & easy description about the project and it's for Beginner's to get the very basic idea about Django.

About the Project

This project is a web application built using Python and Django, demonstrating the fundamental CRUD,

C- Create

R- Read

U- Update

D- Delete

operations for managing a list.

The application provides a simple and intuitive interface for users to add, view, edit, and delete items from a list, showcasing Django's powerful and flexible capabilities for building dynamic web applications.

Run my Project

Step 1: Run the following code on terminal

python manage.py runserver

This command is used to start a development server for a Django project.

If you are using Visual Studio Code, then you can type this command on the terminal directly.

Step 2: The output of the command gives us the url

http://127.0.0.1.8000/

Add /admin at last of the url & paste on your browser

http://127.0.0.1.8000/admin

Step 3: Now the project is running on the browser, you will see the form Django Administration.

For admin login,

username: admin
password: admin

For user login,

username:
password:

Step 4: You've now access to the project.

Lessons

• Run runserver in a virtual environment to isolate project dependencies.

• Use a unique port number (e.g., python manage.py runserver 8080) to avoid conflicts with other servers.

• Disable debug mode in production environments to prevent exposing sensitive information.

Description:

This Django web application is running with debug mode turned on (DEBUG = False ). One of the main features of debug mode is the display of detailed error pages. If your app raises an exception when DEBUG is True, Django will display a detailed traceback, including a lot of metadata about your environment, such as all the currently defined Django settings (from settings.py).

Remediation:

Never deploy a site into production with DEBUG turned on. To disable debug mode, set DEBUG = False in your Django settings file.

References: Django debug mode

Note: You can find settings.py on Todo folder.

Troubleshooting

• Port already in use? Change the port number or stop other servers using the same port.

• Database migration errors? Run

    python manage.py makemigrations
  

and

    python manage.py migrate 

to update changes.

Create your own new Project

You can also create your new Project

Step 1: Install latest version of Python

Download Latest Version Python

Step 2: Open the VS code terminal,

Run the command to create virtual environment

virtualenv <env_name>

<env_name> is your virtual environment name.

Step 3: To activate the virtual environment

.\<env_name>\Scripts\activate

Step 4: Check the versiom

virtualenv- version

Step 5: Install Django

Step 6: Start Project

django-admin startproject <project_name>

Step 7: Type the command

django-admin

Again,

.\<env_name>\Scripts\activate

Step 8: This command create a folder in your Project

python manage.py startapp <folder_name>

Step 9: Link app with Project

project setting.py to <project_name>

Add in the code

INSTALLED_APPS = [
# ...
'base',
# ...
]

EXTERNAL_APPS = [
# ...
'base',
# ...
]

Step 10: Download the extension on VS code named

Sqlite Viewer 

Step 11: Type on terminal,

python manage.py makemigrations

and

python manage.py migrate 

to update changes.

Step 12: On terminal,
