2. Activate Virtual Environment (source .venv/bin/activate | .venv/Scripts/activate)
3. Install Django (pip install django). (You can also install all the requirements file)
4. Start django project in the current directory (django-admin startproject project_name .)
5. Create new database in mysql (mypythondjangopractice)
6. Update settings file - DATABASES DATABASES = { 'default': { 'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql', 'NAME': 'mypythondjangopractice', # Name of your MySQL database 'USER': 'username', # MySQL username 'PASSWORD': 'userpassword', # MySQL password 'HOST': 'hostname', # MySQL server host (change to your MySQL server address) - localhost for local 'PORT': '3306', # MySQL server port (default is usually 3306) 'ATOMIC_REQUESTS': True, } }
7. Run command - python manage.py migrate
8. Run server - python manage.py runserver (http://127.0.0.1:8000/)

Create first django app (common)

1. Create apps/common/init.py
2. create apps/common/apps.py Copy this code in apps.py `from django.apps import AppConfig

class CommonConfig(AppConfig): default_auto_field = "django.db.models.BigAutoField" name = "apps.common" 3. Create apps/common/urls.py Copy this code in urls.py - We will create a healthcheck apifrom django.urls import path

from apps.common import views

urlpatterns = [ path("", views.HealthCheck.as_view(), name="health"), ] 4. Create a view for this in apps/common/views.py We will be using djangorestframework for APIs (Install requirements.txt and add inINSTALLED_APPS-'rest_framework') Copy this code in views.py author = "Deepak Verma"

from rest_framework import status from rest_framework.permissions import AllowAny from rest_framework.response import Response from rest_framework.views import APIView

all = ("HealthCheck",)

class HealthCheck(APIView): permission_classes = [AllowAny]

def get(self, request, format=None):
    try:
        return Response(
            {
                "is_success": True,
                "message": "Servers are running...",
                "data": None,
            },
            status=status.HTTP_200_OK,
        )
    except Exception as ex:
        return Response(
            {"is_success": False, "message": None, "data": None},
            status=status.HTTP_200_OK,
        )

5. Modify project_name/urls.py to add the above route tourlpatterns. path('', include('apps.common.urls')),6. Addapps.commontoINSTALLED_APPS` 7. Run Server
