Welcome to Django Actual’s documentation!

Overview

This project is a follow up of the old project django-common from Tivix. The project served as a base to this one but it doesn’t mean that we’ll keep things like it was before.

Django-actual consists of the following things:

• A middleware that makes sure your web-app runs either on or without ‘www’ in the domain.

• A SessionManagerBase base class, that helps in keeping your session related code object-oriented and clean! See session.py for usage details.

• An EmailBackend for authenticating users based on their email, apart from username.

• Some custom db fields that you can use in your models including a UniqueHashField and RandomHashField.

• Bunch of helpful functions in helper.py

• A render_form_field template tag that makes rendering form fields easy and DRY.

• A dry response class: XMLResponse in the django_actual.http that can be used in views that give xml responses.
