##Install

"djangoParts.parts"to yourINSTALLED_APPSin your project'ssettings.py
##Getting Started
###Creating the Page part
In the terms of a web application, the "page" is the index.html that loads first from the webserver. All dependencies are defined within this html file.
The same is true in Django Parts. This app serves as the "top level" that will be present in all page loads. The template is included in the JP framework, and is structured like this:
<html>
<head>
<link/>
<link/>
<script></script>
etc...
</head>
<body>
{{content}}
</body>
</html>
To create the main page app:
./manage.py startapp mainPage- Make the views.py in the
mainPageapp look like this:
from djangoParts.parts import Page
class MainPage(Page):
PART_LIST = []
That's it. You have just created the main page.
###urls.py
- In your main
urls.pyfile. Delete everything, and add the following:
from mainPage.views import MainPage
urlpatters = MainPage().getUrls()
That's it. All urls will be generated at application runtime by the main page app
###Your first index app
To create an additional app:
manage.py startapp indexmkdir -p index/templates/index- make the
index/templates/index/index.htmlfile look like this:
<h1>THIS IS INDEX</h1>
- Make
index/views.pylook like this:
from djangoParts.parts import Part
class Index(Part):
NAME = "index"
TEMPLATE_PATH = "index/index.html"
- Install the index app, by adding it to
INSTALLED_APPSinsettings.py - The index will be owned by the main page app, so add it to the
PARTS_LISTin theMainPagepart:
mainPage/views.py:
from djangoParts.parts import Page
from index.views import Index
class MainPage(Page):
PART_LIST = [
Index,
]
- Run the project, and the index should appear
