How to contribute to a django app? #3

Closed tylerecouture closed 6 years ago

tylerecouture commented 6 years ago

Hi! I'd like to add a filesize limit option to this app, but I'm not sure how to setup a dev environment specifically for the app. I've worked with Django for a few years, so I'm comfortable with my own apps within my project, but I can't seem to find any tutorials on how to contribute to discrete apps like this one. For example, once I fork the project and clone... how do I setup django to work with the app by itself?

Help with this would be bonus, but not expected. Thanks a ton for the app!

Hi! In development environment to work with discrete apps (and any other packages) you can use pip editable installation mode: pip install -e <package_path>. You can read more about it here: https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/#editable-installs

And also you always can use unit / functional tests in discrete app. :)
