What is Djangoly?
Djangoly is an IDE extension I built to help development teams maintain high-quality Django codebases. It automates the enforcement of Django best practices, runs security checks, and ensures consistent code conventions across projects.
Why Build It?
While working on large Django applications, I noticed our team spending significant time on code reviews catching the same issues:
- Inconsistent variable names and project structure
- Missing security configurations
- Non-optimal database queries
- Overlooked Django-specific best practices
Rather than repeatedly documenting these issues, I created Djangoly to automate these checks and provide immediate feedback to developers.
Key Features
- Automated Linting: Custom Django-specific linting rules
- Security Scanning: Checks for common Django security misconfigurations
- Performance Analysis: Identifies potential database query optimizations
- Convention Enforcement: Ensures consistent project structure and naming
- CI/CD Integration: Seamlessly integrates with popular CI/CD pipelines
Supported IDEs
Impact
While still in beta,Djangoly has significantly reduced our code review cycles and helped maintain consistent quality across our Django projects. It serves as both a learning tool for junior developers and a safety net for experienced ones.
