### Folder Hierarchy
|
|
|
|
Your project's root folder (the outer most) contains the following
|
|
|
|
- `Pipfile`, `Pipfile.lock` - to track your installed packages as mentioned previously
|
|
- `.gitignore` - to exempt some files from being tracked in your version control (Git)
|
|
|
|
#### Project Folder
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The folder immediately proceeding your first one contains your Django project, created by the command `django-admin startproject PROJECT\_NAME` which you previously executed
|
|
|
|
This contains the following
|
|
|
|
- `manage.py` - The entry point to your Django app (e.g. the `python manage.py runserver` command and such)
|
|
- `db.sqlite3` - The default database file for Django, which uses [SQLite](https://www.sqlite.org/) (you can switch to PostgreSQL or MySQL later on)
|
|
- Another folder which contains your project's main config or app
|
|
|
|
#### Django Apps
|
|
|
|
|
|
Django divides your projects into groups called apps. When you start a new project, you start off with your first app.
|
|
|
|
In this case, my first app is named `djangobackend`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
That seems a bit confusing doesn't it?
|
|
|
|
#### Renaming the Config App
|
|
|
|
To make things clearer, you can opt to rename the main app of your Django project. These are the changes you must make
|
|
|
|
- Rename the main app folder to `config`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Open `asgi.py` and change line 14 to point to **config.settings** instead of **PROJECT_NAME.settings**
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Do the same for the `wsgi.py` file, also in line 14
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Go to `settings.py` and set **ROOT_URLCONF** in line 52 to **config.urls** instead of **PROJECT_NAME.urls**
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Do the same for **WSGI_APPLICATION** in `settings.py`, line 70
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- In `manage.py`, change line 19 to point to **config.settings** instead of **PROJECT_NAME.settings**
|
|
|

|
|
|
With that, you should be good to go. Double check your setup by starting the Django app once again
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you followed everything correctly, you should see the same page as before
|
|
|
|

|
### Setting up DRF
|
|
|
|
Your current setup only includes Django. To proceed with Django REST Framework, we will need to add it to our project.
|
|
|
|
You've already installed Django REST Framework in the previous steps (e.g. `pipenv install django djangorestframework`).
|
|
|
|
To register it as an app in our project. Open your `settings.py` file and look for the **INSTALLED_APPS** section
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Add **rest_framework** to **INSTALLED_APPS**
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The next section will then tackle building a REST API with DRF.
