..
3. Creating Project File

Project Setup Complete

Your working directory will have the following files and folders

project
│   README.md
│   .gitignore    
│   .env       [Django Secrets]
|   setup.yaml [django-cli YAML Setup Config File]  
└───src
   │   manage.py
   │   
   └───PROJECT_NAME
       │   asgi.py
       │   config.py
       │   settings.py   
       |   wsgi.py
       |   urls.py 

Note: Do not delete .env file, it will contain database, cache and django secret keys

Option 2:

1. Create a setup.yaml file

name: TEST_PROJECT
libraries:
- django-rest-framework
- celery
- django-storages
template: true
static: true
media: false
database:
  engine: postgresql
  user: user
  password: password
  host: host
  port: port
  option: 
    config: psql.cfg
cache:
  backend: redis
  location: localhost:6532
env:
  SECRET_KEY: YOUR_SECRET_KEY

2. Run django-cli startproject in terminal/shell

django-cli startproject
# Your Project Will be created automatically using the setup.yaml file

Use Environment Variable in setup.yaml

It is possible to use secrets I.E [Database Password, Username, Secret Key] using environment variable

To Hide Secrets Using environment variable create a cli.env file in the source directory And do the following

cli.env

MY_SECRET_KEY=
   
    
DATABASE_USER=django_cli
DATABASE_PASSWORD=gonnaCry?

   

setup.yaml

To use env secret Put $ before your env variable I.E $SECRET_KEY

name: TEST_PROJECT
libraries:
- django-rest-framework
- celery
- django-storages
template: true
static: true
media: false
database:
  engine: postgresql
  user: $DATABASE_USER
  password: $DATABASE_PASSWORD
  host: host
  port: port
  option: 
    config: psql.cfg
cache:
  backend: redis
  location: localhost:6532
env:
  SECRET_KEY: $MY_SECRET_KEY

You can target a different env file using --env django-cli startproject NewProject --env spider.env

2. generate

django-cli generate PROJECT_NAME --env cli.env

Will generate setup.yaml file, it will not create project PROJECT_NAME and --env are optional fields

3. install

django-cli install
