Django ORM isolated from the framework to be used in other projects independently
- You can interact with the database through the Django ORM without starting a server.
- In this example we have define a single model called Person with a single field (name).
- We have created a sqlite3 database and configure the connexion in the manage.py file, this can be easily substitute for the database of your choice. Here es the documentation about how to do it properly.
- There are two scripts included:
- populate_db.py: This script generate elements in the database corresponding to the Person model.
- print_all_persons_name.py: This script prints the id and the name of all the elements in the table Person in the database.
- First create a virtual environment
python3 -m venv .venv. Note that this template has been developed using python 3.9.12. - Activate (
source .venv/bin/activate) and install the packages listed in requirements.txt (pip install -r requirements.txt). - The utils forlder contains a single script that will generate a sqlite database as the one included in the project. Execute it to create a database (
python db_sqlite_creation.py). - Now we have to generate the migrations (this will be necessary each time we do changes in the models):
python manage.py makemigrations db. - Once the migrations are generated, we need to apply them to the database:
python manage.py migrate db. - Now we can interact with the dabatase with the two scripts included as an example, for instance we can create registers with
python populate_db.py.
