4. The django-marcador app¶

The aim of the tutorial is to create a Django app to manage bookmarks. Now that the project is created and configured, you can begin to work on the app itself.

4.1. Create the app¶

You can create the app with the following command:

$ python manage.py startapp marcador

A new directory marcador will be created with the following comments:

marcador
|-- __init__.py
|-- admin.py
|-- migrations
|   `-- __init__.py
|-- models.py
|-- tests.py
`-- views.py

The directory is found under the project directory mysite:

mysite
|-- manage.py
|-- marcador
|   |-- __init__.py
|   |-- admin.py
|   |-- migrations
|   |   `-- __init__.py
|   |-- models.py
|   |-- tests.py
|   `-- views.py
|-- mysite
|   |-- __init__.py
|   |-- settings.py
|   |-- urls.py
|   `-- wsgi.py
|-- static
`-- templates

Finally, add your new app marcador to INSTALLED_APPS in the file settings.py:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    'marcador',
)
