Add Required Django Apps to Starter Project

Structure the Django starter project by creating the necessary apps as per the provided project schema. Each app will house components such as models, views, serializers, URLs, and permissions to handle different segments of the platform.

Task Description:

Step 1: Create the 'users' App

• Action: Use the Django startapp command to create an app named users.
• Command:

  python manage.py startapp users

• Outcome: A new directory named users will be created, containing initial files like models.py, views.py, and a migrations directory.

Step 2: Create the 'profiles' App

• Action: Similar to the first step, generate a profiles app.
• Command:

  python manage.py startapp profiles

• Outcome: A profiles directory will be created with the necessary files.

Step 3: Create the 'projects' App

• Action: Generate the projects app using the Django management command.
• Command:

  python manage.py startapp projects

• Outcome: The projects directory will be created, containing starter files.

Step 4: Create the 'communications' App

• Action: Create a communications app to handle messaging and notifications.
• Command:

  python manage.py startapp communications

• Outcome: A communications directory with Django's default app structure will be present.

Step 5: Create the 'dashboard' App

• Action: Establish the dashboard app for user dashboards.
• Command:

  python manage.py startapp dashboard

• Outcome: The dashboard directory will be created, following the Django app pattern.

Step 6: Register New Apps in Settings

• Action: Add the newly created apps to the INSTALLED_APPS list in the project's settings.py file.
• Details:

  INSTALLED_APPS = [
    # ...
    'users',
    'profiles',
    'projects',
    'communications',
    'dashboard',
    # ...
  ]

Step 7: Verify App Structure

• Action: Check that each app directory contains the appropriate files as mentioned in the schema: models.py, views.py, serializers.py, urls.py, and permissions.py (create any missing files manually).
• Outcome: Each app folder should match the given directory structure, ready for further development.

Deliverables:

• New Django apps added to the project, as outlined in the schema.
• Each app registered in the INSTALLED_APPS setting.
• Confirmation that the project structure matches the required schema.
