β¨ How to use it
As mentioned before, the library can be used in a new Django project or for legacy projects that need a small UI boost in order to look better. In the following section, I will mention the installation steps as listed on the official PyPi Page.
π Step #1 - Install the library
$ pip install django-admin-berry
π Step #2 - Update the INSTALLED_APPS section of the project
INSTALLED_APPS = (
...
'admin_berry.apps.AdminBerryConfig',
'django.contrib.admin',
)
π Step #3 - Update project routing to include the theme URLs
from django.urls import path, include
urlpatterns = [
...
path('', include('admin_berry.urls')),
]
π Step #4 - Migrate database and start the APP
$ # Set up the database
$ python manage.py makemigrations
$ python manage.py migrate
$
$ # Create the superuser
$ python manage.py createsuperuser
$
$ # Start the application (development mode)
$ python manage.py runserver # default port 8000
At this point, the Berry BS5 styling should cover all sections: authentication, the admin section reserved for superusers, and pages for common users.
