Pegasus’s Code Structure

Overall structure

This is the overall structure of a new Pegasus project:

{{project_name}}/
├── {{project_name}}
├── apps
│   ├── teams
│   ├── users
│   └── web
├── pegasus
│   ├── apps
│   └── templates
├── requirements
├── assets
│   ├── javascript
│   └── styles
└── static
    ├── css
    ├── images
    └── js

The first three directories are Python modules while the last three are not.

Your {{project_name}} module

This is your Django project root directory. It’s where your settings, root urlconf and wsgi.py file will live.

Your apps module

This is where your project’s apps will live. It is pre-populated with a few skeleton apps for you to further customize to your needs.

It is expected that you will heavily add to and change the contents of this module.

The module starts with three apps (two if you aren’t using teams).

• users is where your user model is defined.
• teams is where team models are defined.
• web contains utilities and components related to the generic views, layouts and templates

The pegasus module

This is where most of Pegasus’s functionality resides, including templates, many base models, and the example gallery.

In general it is not expected that you’ll need to modify much in this module, though feel free to do so!

The requirements folder

This is where you define your project’s Python requrements.

Requirements are managed using pip-tools. For more information on using it see their documentation.

The assets folder

This is where the source files for your site’s JavaScript and CSS live. These files are what you should edit to change your JS and CSS.

See front-end for more information on how to compile these files.

The static folder

This folder contains your project’s static files, including the compiled output files from the assets folder as well as images.
