## ✨ Features

- **Two project types**: MVP (traditional Django with templates) or API (Django REST Framework)
- **View style choice**: Function-Based Views (FBV) or Class-Based Views (CBV)
- **Database options**: SQLite (dev) or PostgreSQL (production)
- **Docker support**: Optional `--docker` flag generates a production-ready `Dockerfile`, `docker-compose.yml`, and `entrypoint.sh`
- **Auto virtual environment**: Creates a venv and installs dependencies automatically
- **Production-ready settings**: Security hardened, environment variables via `python-decouple`
- **Admin panel**: Enabled and configured out of the box
- **URL routing**: Fully wired with app URLs included
- **Example model**: `Item` model with admin registration, tests, and views
- **Beautiful starter templates**: Modern CSS with responsive layout (MVP only)
- **DRF browsable API**: Auto-configured with pagination and permissions (API only)

## 📦 Installation

```bash
pip install django-kickstartx
```

---

## 🚀 Quick Start

### Interactive mode (guided prompts)

```bash
django-kickstart create myproject
```

### Flag mode (one-liner)

```bash
# MVP with function-based views + SQLite
django-kickstart create myproject --type mvp --views fbv --db sqlite

# REST API with class-based views + PostgreSQL
django-kickstart create myproject --type api --views cbv --db postgresql

# Any project with Docker support
django-kickstart create myproject --type api --views fbv --db postgresql --docker
```

### After creating your project

A virtual environment is created automatically with all dependencies installed.

```bash
cd myproject
# Activate the virtual environment
# Windows:
venv\Scripts\activate
# macOS/Linux:
source venv/bin/activate

cp .env.example .env
python manage.py migrate
python manage.py createsuperuser
python manage.py runserver
```

> **Tip:** Use `--no-venv` to skip automatic virtual environment creation.

### With Docker

If you used `--docker`, skip the venv entirely and use Compose:

```bash
cd myproject
cp .env.example .env
docker-compose up --build
```

Once the containers are running:

```bash
docker-compose exec web python manage.py createsuperuser
```

> **Note:** For PostgreSQL projects, the `web` container waits for the database to pass its health check before running migrations automatically.

## 🔧 Options

| Flag | Choices | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `--type` | `mvp`, `api` | interactive | MVP (templates) or API (DRF) |
| `--views` | `fbv`, `cbv` | interactive | Function or class-based views |
| `--db` | `sqlite`, `postgresql` | interactive | Database backend |
| `--no-venv` | — | `false` | Skip automatic virtual environment creation |
| `--docker` | — | `false` | Add Docker configuration (`Dockerfile`, `docker-compose.yml`, `.dockerignore`, and `entrypoint.sh` for PostgreSQL) |
