📜 How to Run

Clone the repository and follow the steps bellow:

1. Create a new virtual environment `.venv` for your project

virtualenv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate

2. Install the requirements

python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

python3 manage.py tailwind install

3. Create both `./config/local_settings.py` and `.env` files and write the following contents in them

touch ./config/local_settings.py && touch .env

# local_settings.py
DEBUG = True
ALLOWED_HOSTS = []

Generate a new Django SECRET_KEY using Djecrety and paste it in the .env file in the root path of the project as follows

SECRET_KEY=<COPIED SECRET_KEY HERE>

4. Create an application

Create a new Django app in your project

python3 manage.py startapp myapp

Append your local application to INSTALLED_APPS inside settings.py

Create your URL, Template and views

You can extend your templates from base/_base.html

5. Migrate 🦋

You need to create migration files (if you have any changes in your models) and run migrate command to apply them.

python3 manage.py makemigrations

python3 manage.py migrate

6. Run your local server

Start TailWindCSS by running the following command in your terminal:

python3 manage.py tailwind start

Then you simply need to run Django's local server:

python3 manage.py runserver

7. Start Exploring 🚀

That's all you need to do for having a ready-to-develop Django project with some 🔋 included.

❓ How to use Crispy Forms

Current version (crispy-tailwind/0.5) allows the |crispy filter to be used to style your form. In your template:

Load the filter: {% load tailwind_filters %}
Apply the crispy filter: {{ form|crispy }}

You can also use the {% crispy %} tag to allow usage of crispy-forms' FormHelper and Layout. In your template:

Load the crispy tag: {% load crispy_forms_tags %}
Add FormHelper to your form and use crispy-forms to set-up your form
Use the crispy tag {% crispy form %} in your template

Visit Crispy Forms Documentation and crispy-tailwind repository for more information.

🌈 Next Steps

Add gunicorn as the production web server.
Update the EMAIL_BACKEND and connect with a mail provider.
Make the admin more secure.
django-allauth supports social authentication if you need that.
