- Fully featured web application boilerplate
- Is Django
- Supports WebSockets
- Automatic code reloading on changes (for development)
- Supports Docker
Make sure you have Docker and Docker Compose.
- Run
docker-compose up
Thats's it. Docker will build the containers and bring up the services. The web app will be available at http://localhost.
As of right now, if the startup script detects changes in a python file (*.py), then it will reload the Channels workers. This means that you wont have to kill and restart the docker containers to see changes during development. I do plan to add an environment variable that will disable the reload feature.
Make sure you visit both the Django Documentation and the Channels Documentation.
If you really don't want to install Docker, you can manually setup your all your own component services by running all the commands in the Dockerfile.
This is based on Django. To add new pages/content, add a HTTP view in app/http/views/, add a template in templates/app/ and link the two.
Look in app/views/common.py for the index view, that should give you a general idea of how to add content.
Websocket code can be added to app/ws/consumers.py. View app.ws.consumers.EchoWSConsumer for example code.
Websocket "Views" must be routed in a similar way to HTTP views. The WS routing file is app/ws/routing.py.
* Workers can handle both HTTP and WS tasks at the same time
Sure, just fork and submit a pull request and a reason for changes.
