ExamplesΒΆ

The examples are based on the polls example from the Django Project web site. There are two flavors of this example:

  1. Under Django version 2.0 in the directory examples/django-2.0
  2. Under Django version 3.0 in the directory examples/django-3.0

The django-1.11 directory has been removed as it is end of life and GitHub is generating secuity issues on the old dependencies.

See the Examples Directory on GitHub.

The examples for both versions of Django behaviour similarly: there are Makefile targets to:

  • init initialize a local SQLite database for the application (should be the first target executed, if experimenting.
  • runserver to run a local server
  • General utility targets for YAMLCONF: yclist, ycexplain and ycsysfiles.

An example of the usage of YAMLCONF, would be, e.g., in a production environment, switching to a PostgreSQL database via the creation of a mysite.yaml file (would need to explicitly install the psycopg2-binary module):

DATABASES.default:
    ENGINE: django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2
    NAME: mysite
    USER: mysite
    PASSWORD: my-password
    HOST: localhost
    PORT: ''
