In my adventure to learn django, I want to be able to setup REST api’s to feed into dynamic front end sites. Potentially sites running react under the hood.

To get started lets open up a todo app that I created with django-admin startproject todo.

pip install djangorestframework

Install APP #

Now we need to declare rest_framwork as an INSTALLED_APP.

INSTALLED_APPS = [ ... "rest_framework", ... ]

create the api app #

Next I will create all the files that I need to get the api running.

My next step into django made me realize that I do not have access to the admin panel, turns out that I need to create a cuper user first.

Right away when trying to setup the superuser I ran into this issue

django.db.utils.OperationalError: no such table: auth_user

Back to the tutorial tells me that I need to run migrations to setup some tables for the INSTALLED_APPS, django.contrib.admin being one of them.

python manage.py migrate

yes I am still running remote on from my chromebook.

I am continuing my journey into django, but today I am not at my workstation. I am ssh’d in remotely from a chromebook. I am fully outside of my network, so I can’t access it by localhost, or it’s ip. I do have cloudflared tunnel installed and dns setup to a localhost.waylonwalker.com.

I found this in settings.py and yolo, it worked first try. I am in from my remote location, and even have auth taken care of thanks to cloudflare. I am really hoping to learn how to setup my own auth with django as this is one of the things that I could really use in my toolbelt.

I have no experience in django, and in my exploration to become a better python developer I am dipping my toe into one of the most polished and widely used web frameworks Django to so that I can better understand it and become a better python developer.

If you found this at all helpful make sure you check out the django tutorial

The first thing I need to do is render out a template to start the project. For this I need the django-admin cli. To get this I am going the route of pipx it will be installed globally on my system in it’s own virtual environment that I don’t have to manage. This will be useful only for using startproject as far as I know.

pipx install django django-admin startproject try_django cd try_django
