Re: Move apps to different folders or to a root folder

2022-11-10 Thread Nick Chang 
Hi Mike,

Thanks for your reply. To further clarify about `db_table` name regarding 
this vertical move. The 'db_table' field is actually already specified in 
the models. However, if the 'db_table' name were not specified in the model 
and let django handle generation table names, would this move break it?  
And it can be fixed by specifying the 'db_table" value in the moved models?

Thanks!

Hello community,

I am trying to organize my Django project's structure as the number of 
apps is growing. So I am attempting to move an app in the sub-folder 
that contains its model definitions. The app used to be named 
`.foo ` and now it 
will be just named `foo` in the `LOCAL_APPS` setting.


It seems straightforward to do this with the following two steps:

 1. Change the reference from `.foo
` to `foo` in the whole project.
 2. Do `mv foo ..` inside the sub-folder.

Is there any DB migration work that this move requires? Or since the 
app name stays the same. There is nothing that needs to be done as 
Django does not see any change in the models. So far my investigation 
confirms no DB migration work is needed but would like to hear some

Should work just fine.

In any case, you can also specify the table name the model should use if 
you do decide to switch models between apps ...


    class Meta:
 app_label = "company"
 db_table = "common_user"

If your python code works and your tests pass everything should be fine.




Thanks!

Move apps to different folders or to a root folder

2022-11-06 Thread Nick Chang 
Hello community,

I am trying to organize my Django project's structure as the number of apps 
is growing. So I am attempting to move an app in the sub-folder that 
contains its model definitions. The app used to be named `<
sub_folder_name>.foo ` and now it will be 
just named `foo` in the `LOCAL_APPS` setting.

It seems straightforward to do this with the following two steps:

   1. Change the reference from `.foo 
   ` to `foo` in the whole project.
   2. Do `mv foo ..` inside the sub-folder.

Is there any DB migration work that this move requires? Or since the app 
name stays the same. There is nothing that needs to be done as Django does 
not see any change in the models. So far my investigation confirms no DB 
migration work is needed but would like to hear some experiences that folks 
might have done before.

Thanks!
