django-cities-light -- *Simple django-cities alternative*
=========================================================
This add-on provides models and commands to import country, subregion, region/state, and
city data in your database.
The data is pulled from `GeoNames
`_ and contains cities, subregions, regions/states and countries.
Spatial query support is not required by this application.
This application is very simple and is useful if you want to make a simple
address book for example. If you intend to build a fully featured spatial
database, you should use
`django-cities
`_.
Requirements:
- Python >= 3.8
- Django >= 3.2
- MySQL or PostgreSQL or SQLite.
Yes, for some reason, code that used to work on MySQL (not without pain xD)
does not work anymore. So we're now using django.db.transaction.atomic which
comes from Django 1.6 just to support MySQL quacks.
Features
--------
- GraphQL support
- Built-in admin support
- Rest-Framework support
- Ajax Select Lookup support
Upgrade
-------
See CHANGELOG.
Installation
------------
Install django-cities-light::
pip install django-cities-light
Or the development version::
pip install -e [email protected]:yourlabs/django-cities-light.git#egg=cities_light
Add `cities_light` to your `INSTALLED_APPS`.
Configure filters to exclude data you don't want, ie.::
CITIES_LIGHT_TRANSLATION_LANGUAGES = ['fr', 'en']
CITIES_LIGHT_INCLUDE_COUNTRIES = ['FR']
CITIES_LIGHT_INCLUDE_CITY_TYPES = ['PPL', 'PPLA', 'PPLA2', 'PPLA3', 'PPLA4', 'PPLC', 'PPLF', 'PPLG', 'PPLL', 'PPLR', 'PPLS', 'STLMT',]
Now, run migrations, it will only create tables for models that are not
disabled::
./manage.py migrate
Data import/update
------------------
Finally, populate your database with command::
./manage.py cities_light
This command is well documented, consult the help with::
./manage.py help cities_light
By default, update procedure attempts to update all fields, including Country/Region/Subregion/City slugs. But there is an option to keep them intact::
./manage.py cities_light --keep-slugs
Get more cities
---------------
The configuration parameter CITIES_LIGHT_CITY_SOURCES, comes with the default value
http://download.geonames.org/export/dump/cities15000.zip that has cities with a population
over 15000, if you need to load cities with less population please use another source. For the list
of available source please check here: http://download.geonames.org/export/dump/readme.txt
Using fixtures
--------------
Geonames.org is updated on daily basis and its full import is quite slow, so
if you want to import the same data multiple times (for example on different
servers) it is convenient to use fixtures with the helper management command::
./manage.py cities_light_fixtures dump
./manage.py cities_light_fixtures load
To reduce space, JSON fixtures are compressed with bzip2 and can be fetched
from any HTTP server or local filesystem.
Consult the help with::
./manage.py help cities_light_fixtures
Development
-----------
Create development virtualenv (you need to have tox installed in your base system)::
tox -e dev
source .tox/dev/bin/activate
To run the test project, with the folder of the project as the current directory, run::
export PYTHONPATH="${PYTHONPATH}:/app/src"
docker run -d postgres -p 5432:5432
Then run the full import::
test_project/manage.py migrate
test_project/manage.py cities_light
There are several environment variables which affect project settings (like DB_ENGINE and CI), you can find them all in test_project/settings.py.
For example to change the database engine, you can run::
export DB_ENGINE=postgresql
export DB_HOST=192.168.0.118
export DB_NAME=app
export DB_USER=postgres
export DB_PORT=5432
To run the test suite you need to have postgresql or mysql installed with passwordless login, or just use sqlite. Otherwise the tests which try to create/drop database will fail.
Running the full test suite::
tox
To run the tests in specific environment use the following command::
tox -e py37-django31-sqlite
And to run one specific test use this one::
tox -e py37-django31-sqlite -- cities_light/tests/test_form.py::FormTestCase::testCountryFormNameAndContinentAlone
To run it even faster, you can switch to specific tox virtualenv::
source .tox/py37-django18-sqlite/bin/activate
CI=true test_project/manage.py test cities_light.tests.test_form.FormTestCase.testCountryFormNameAndContinentAlone
If you want to build the docs, use the following steps::
source .tox/dev/bin/activate
cd docs
make html
TODOS
-----
- Add ruff for formatting
- Improve the performance of the import command
- Improve the local development environment with https://tox.wiki/en/legacy/example/devenv.html
