@adamghill @paulox @thibaudcolas This is excellent. There are so many good things other frameworks are doing, like Laravel.
I'm also impressed, while originally having mixed feelings about some of Datasette's cli options like install and uninstall. In hindsight, this makes Datasette more approachable to its audience. With Python packaging starting to land on pyproject.toml as the default standard, I wonder if Django could pull this off. 🤔
@webology @paulox @thibaudcolas re: install and uninstall, I spent some time a few years ago playing with runtime patching of Django trying to figure out how to reduce the number of steps to install a third-party package. Basically, an even less hands-on version of https://django-app-enabler.readthedocs.io/.
My goal was to make installing a third-party package as easy as installing a Wordpress plugin and remove anything manual. I have a PoC somewhere, but I gave up at some point. 😂
@webology @paulox @thibaudcolas The runtime patching aspect is probably too much, but I think improving integrating third-party packages would be useful.
e.g. looking at https://www.django-rest-framework.org/#installation, it'd be nice to do:
1. pip install django djangorestframework
2. python manage.py install djangorestframework (add to INSTALLED_APPS, add defaults to settings, add default urls, etc)
3. python manage.py scaffold account
4. Go localhost/api/ and have RESTful endpoints for all models in the account app
