Start Project with django framework

Create project initial file structure

If this is your first time using Django, you’ll have to take care of some initial setup. Namely, you’ll need to auto-generate some code that establishes a Django project – a collection of settings for an instance of Django, including database configuration, Django-specific options and application-specific settings.

$ django-admin startproject mysite

The development server

Let’s verify your Django project works. Change into the outer mysite directory, if you haven’t already, and run the following commands:DATABASES = { 'default': { 'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql', 'NAME': 'django_test_db', 'USER': 'root', 'PASSWORD': 'Nimna@123', 'HOST': 'localhost', 'PORT': '3306' } }

$ python manage.py runserver

Now that the server’s running, visit http://127.0.0.1:8000/ with your web browser. You’ll see a “Congratulations!” page, with a rocket taking off. It worked!

Create stand alone component

 python3 manage.py startapp <component_name>

Connect mysql to Django project

First you need to install mysql client pip install mysqlclient

Add db datas to setting.py file

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
        'NAME': 'django_test_db',
        'USER': 'root',
        'PASSWORD': 'Nimna@123',
        'HOST': 'localhost',
        'PORT': '3306'
    }
}

After that create models and do migration

$ python3 manage.py makemigrations
$ python3 manage.py migrte
