# Flango Starter Template
An utterly fantastic project starter template for Django 2.0, using Flask as a frontend.
## How it works
- `frontend.py` contains your Flask application, which is used for your frontend.
- The django application is routed to `/admin`.
## Features
- Flask for the frontend, using the Django ORM.
- Production-ready configuration for Static Files, Database Settings, Gunicorn, etc.
- Enhancements to Django's static file serving functionality via WhiteNoise.
- Latest Python 3.6 runtime environment.
## How to Use
To use this project, follow these steps:
1. Create your working environment.
2. Install Django and Flask (`$ pipenv install --no-hashes`)
3. Create a new project using this template
## Creating Your Project
Using this template to create a new Django app is easy::
$ django-admin.py startproject --template=https://github.com/kennethreitz/flango/archive/master.zip --name=Procfile --name=Pipfile helloworld
(If this doesn't work on windows, replace `django-admin.py` with `django-admin`)
You can replace ``helloworld`` with your desired project name.
## Deployment to Heroku
$ git init
$ git add -A
