**Django** rewritten to **Golang**.

This is a rewrite of the Django framework in Golang.

The goal is to provide a similar experience to Django, but with the performance of Golang.

At the core this is meant to be a web framework, but it also includes sub-packages to create a CMS-like experience.

Any database logic can be implemented with the [`queries`](./queries/docs/README.md) subpackage, providing an experience similar to
the Django ORM.

Documentation needs to be updated.

You can run an example blog- application by cloning the repository and executing:

```bash
mkdir ./.private/blogapp
go run ./examples/blogapp makemigrations
go run ./examples/blogapp migrate
go run ./examples/blogapp createuser -s # -s to make superuser, -i to make inactive user
go run ./examples/blogapp

# Navigate to: http://127.0.0.1:8080/admin/login
# Explore!
```

Latest version: `v1.7.1.1`

## Installation

The package is easily installed with `go get`.

```bash
go get github.com/Nigel2392/go-django@v1.7.1.1
go get github.com/Nigel2392/go-django/queries@v1.7.1.1
```

The [CLI](./docs/cli.md) can optionally be installed with `go install`.

This will provide some useful utilities to help you get started, like creating a new project, app or Dockerfile.

```bash
go install github.com/Nigel2392/go-django/cmd/go-django@v1.7.1.1
```

Or to install the SQLC plugin to auto- generate SQL queries and [go-django definitions](./docs/sqlc.md) from your SQL database.

```bash
go install github.com/Nigel2392/go-django/cmd/go-django-definitions@v1.7.1.1
```

## Tested Databases

GO-Django is tested to work on the following databases:

- SQLite through [mattn/go-sqlite3](https://github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3)
- MySQL through [go-sql-driver/mysql](https://github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql)
- Local MYSQL with [dolthub/go-mysql-server](https://github.com/dolthub/go-mysql-server) through [go-sql-driver/mysql](https://github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql) (used internally for testing)
- MariaDB through [a custom driver](https://github.com/Nigel2392/go-django/queries/blob/main/src/drivers/drivers.go#L38) (with returning support, custom driver - use "mariadb" in `drivers.Open(...)`)
- Postgres through [jackc/pgx](https://github.com/jackc/pgx)

### Examples

- [Todo App](./docs/examples/todos.md)
- [Blog App](./docs/examples/blog.md)
- [Forms App](./docs/examples/formsapp.md)
- [Openauth2 App](./docs/examples/openauth2app.md)
- [Handling Server Errors](./docs/examples/server_errors.md)

### How to work with models in the database

- [go-django/queries](./queries/docs/README.md) - A library to help you create SQL queries specialized (and only useful) for go-django models.

## Help Needed

- [ ] Block application:
  - [ ] Javascript for structblock
  - [ ] Javascript for listblock
  - [ ] (maybe) Javascript for fieldblock

## Projects written in Go-Django

- [Docker-Mailserver-Mailman](https://github.com/Nigel2392/docker-mailserver-mailman) - A backend interface for [Docker Mailserver](https://github.com/docker-mailserver/docker-mailserver) which manages Postfix and Dovecot accounts through LDAP.
