Start Application¶
Usage: start-app APP_NAME [-h] [--completion COMPLETION]
Initialize a new django app the falco way.

This command executes Django’s startapp, along with a few additional tasks:
It deletes the
tests.pyfile. I never use a single test file when writing tests.It moves the newly created app to the
apps_dir. In the context of Falco projects, theapps_diris a subdirectory in your root directory named after your project.It registers the new app in your settings under
INSTALLED_APP.It add a basic empty model to your
models.pyfile.
These are tasks I always perform when generating a new app with Django. Now, I can reclaim those precious seconds I would have spent doing this manually.
