start new app in django

To start a new app in Django, follow these steps:

  1. Open your command prompt or terminal.
  2. Navigate to the directory where you want to create your Django project.
  3. Create a new Django project by typing the following command: django-admin startproject project_name.
  4. Replace project_name with the name you want to give to your project. Make sure to use lowercase letters and underscores instead of spaces.
  5. Once the project is created, navigate into the project folder using the cd command: cd project_name.
  6. Inside the project folder, create a new Django app by running the following command: python manage.py startapp app_name.
  7. Replace app_name with the name you want to give to your app. Again, use lowercase letters and underscores instead of spaces.
  8. After the app is created, you need to include it in your project's settings. Open the settings.py file located in the project folder and find the INSTALLED_APPS variable.
  9. Add the name of your app to the list of installed apps. For example, if your app is called "myapp", add 'myapp' to the list of installed apps.
  10. Save the settings.py file.
  11. You can now start working on your app by creating models, views, and templates.

That's it! You have successfully started a new app in Django. Remember to run python manage.py runserver to start the development server and see your app in action.
