Hey Django Developers,
I just updated django-structurator to v1.1.0! It’s a CLI tool that quickly sets up Django projects and apps with a clean, advanced folder structure and sensible defaults.
Would love your feedback and support!
Hi Maulik,
This looks like a really useful tool, especially for developers who want a well-structured Django project setup without spending extra time on boilerplate. I checked out the GitHub repo, and I appreciate the effort you’ve put into making Django project structuring more efficient.
A couple of questions:
- Does
django-structuratorsupport custom templates for project structures, or is it based on a predefined layout? - How does it handle existing Django projects? Can it restructure them, or is it mainly for new setups?
Looking forward to exploring it further. Great work!
Best,
Abhijeet
Hi Abhijeet,
Thank you so much for checking out django-structurator and for your kind words! I’m glad you found it useful.
Here are answers to your questions:
Custom Templates
At the moment, django-structurator uses a predefined folder structure. However, if you have a custom template in mind, you can always use Django’s built-in django-admin command with the --template option (docs).
What makes django-structurator different is that it interactively asks questions and adds or removes files/folders based on your responses, which speeds things up and avoids repetitive setup.
Existing Projects
At the moment, it’s designed primarily for new Django project setups. Supporting restructuring of existing projects is an interesting idea though! It’s something I’m considering exploring in future versions, depending on demand and feasibility.
Thanks again for the support. If you have any suggestions or ideas, feel free to share—I’d love your input.
Best,
Maulik
