• Color Django shell by development environment
  2 projects | dev.to | 15 May 2023

  I often perform operational tasks such as modifying data or debugging failures using the Django shell. In fact, anything I can't do through the admin or through management commands I use the shell for. The package django-extensions provides a shell on steroids that I much prefer over the built in shell. It allows you to run a custom REPL such as IPython or Ptpython and has autocomplete, command history, automatic model class imports and a myriad of other dev tools. shell_plus is for a Django programmer what a scalpel is for a surgeon.

• How do I list all my endpoints across the whole project
  1 project | /r/django | 5 Aug 2022

  It currently has a bug with the latest django update I think; so if it it isn't fixed by the time you try it, remember to check it out later, because django-extensions is genuinely useful.

• How to get urls path from django views list ?
  1 project | /r/django | 16 Nov 2021

  If you just want a list of all the available urls & paths in your app, take a look at the django-extensions package. It has a django management command show_urls, which will list them all out nicely.

• django and the issue of doing too much under the hood
  1 project | /r/django | 8 Nov 2021

  https://github.com/django-extensions/django-extensions has a command, show_urls which outputs the URLs rendered for a project along with the name of their view handler

  # 1 million lines of logic and who knows how many queries

  I've actually seen this pattern in every Django project :(

  Regarding urls, instead of enforcing a flat file, I'd highly recommend always using django_extensions[0]. You'll get `shell_plus` that auto imports model and `show_urls` that you can grep for endpoint and gives you the handler.

• Failing the CI build if django migrations are out of date
  1 project | dev.to | 12 May 2021

  A common mistake in django is to make a model change but forget to run makemigrations to generate a migration for the model change. Sometimes it is not entirely obvious when this need to happen. For example, let's say I'm using the django-extensions library and I define a model like:
