Django Project Features

#. Easy for new users to learn Django with sensible defaults. Also, local and test environments default to using SQLite, Django’s bundled database. #. More advanced users can change the test environment database with an environment variable to match the production environment. See the How-to here. #. Django-allauth_ provides authentication. #. A CustomUser model, complete with tests and custom user types. See How-to Custom User_ for customisation options before your initial migration. #. Improved Admin panel security requires an authorised user to be logged in. The Admin panel now has the protections provided by django-allauth. #. htmx_ built in by default using django-htmx. #. django-tailwind and django-browser-reload_ built in by default. #. Customisable logging with rotating log files, see how-to-logging_.

If you are new to Django and Cookiecutters and would like to take it for a spin, see our tutorial, Create a Django-Cookiecutter Project_.
