Integration with existing Django Sites about jawanndenn HOT 6 CLOSED

from jawanndenn.

@fatpacket with #727 merged now, here's a proof of concept of how one could use jawanndenn as an integrated Django app rather than a standalone Django project as of today. On a Bash Linux terminal:

cd "$(mktemp -d)"
python3.10 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/hartwork/jawanndenn
pip install -e ./jawanndenn

django-admin startproject p1

echo 'INSTALLED_APPS += ["jawanndenn"]' >> p1/p1/settings.py
echo $'from pkg_resources import resource_filename\nTEMPLATES[0]["DIRS"] += [resource_filename("jawanndenn", "static")]' >> p1/p1/settings.py
echo $'from django.urls import include, path\nurlpatterns += [path("jawanndenn/", include("jawanndenn.urls"))]' >> p1/p1/urls.py 

./p1/manage.py migrate
./p1/manage.py runserver &

chromium http://127.0.0.1:8000/jawanndenn/ &

I have tested that locally, and it seemed to work as expected. So it is possible as of today.

For transparency I would like to note that I still consider "project mode" the primary target of jawanndenn, not "app mode". New ways of re-usability — an increase in surface — comes at a maintenance cost, and I will have to keep these costs in proportion.

I suggest that from here that we make dedicated tickets for any more details that may need feasible adjustment and stick to e-mail and Jitsi for big picture aspects and details about your very setup. Closing… 🍻

The answer is probably "yes" but I'm not sure what the actual question is here 😄

Fair and you answered it. I guess the hope would be for an enhancement that might be a self contained app with or without the setup routine that could be copied into an existing site, make migrations, migrate and have some urls that are now accessible.
I am sure I could try to dissect it post install and copy over the pieces and see what happens

I'm reading that as "let me have a closer look, I'll get back to you with more info later". Is that what you meant?
