Quickstart generator-thing

Nutshell

Exercise 1: Calling yo thing:django

Start by creating a folder for your app, and typing yo thing:django. We will use "Frankenstein" for this Quick Start. 

mkdir frankenstein
cd frankenstein
yo thing:django

You will only be asked to provide a name of your website. It should be short but expressive: e.g. "The Kitchen", "Brazil Travels". Use "Frankenstein" to follow this Quick Start exactly, but it's not compulsory.

What yo thing:django makes

Assuming you ran generator-thing in a folder call app_name: 

|- .gitignore
|- init_app_name.sh
|- LICENSE.sh
|- manage.py
|- pyproject.toml
|- README.md
|- setup.py
|- app_name
    |- __init__.py
    |- models.py
    |- settings.py
    |- urls.py
    |- views.py
    |- wsgi.py
    |- static
        |- css
            |- innocent.min.css
            |- innocent.min.css.map
    |- templates
        |- app_name
            |- base.html
            |- home_page.html
            |- thing_delete.html
            |- thing_engaged.html
            |- thing_form.html
            |- thing_iterate.html
            |- thing_listed.html
            |- thing_optimize.html
            |- thing_page.html
|- schemaorg
    |- data
        |- releases
            |- 3.9
                |- all-layers.jsonld

Seeing is Believing

Now you can follow the onscreen instructions to setup a virtualenv; install models; and run the website. Assuming you followed the Quick Start exactly (which will assume for the rest of this guide), you'll type the following. 

source venv-frankenstein/bin/activate[.fish]
pip install -e .
./init_frankenstein.sh

Navigate to http://localhost:8000

You will now see a working app!
