==================================================
How to add Wagtail into an existing Django project
==================================================

To install Wagtail completely from scratch, create a new Django project and an app within that project. For instructions on these tasks, see :doc:`Writing your first Django app <django:intro/tutorial01>`. Your project directory will look like the following::

  myproject/
      myproject/
          __init__.py
          settings.py
          urls.py
          wsgi.py
      myapp/
          __init__.py
          models.py
          tests.py
          admin.py
          views.py
      manage.py

From your app directory, you can safely remove ``admin.py`` and ``views.py``, since Wagtail will provide this functionality for your models. Configuring Django to load Wagtail involves adding modules and variables to ``settings.py`` and URL configuration to ``urls.py``. For a more complete view of what's defined in these files, see :doc:`Django Settings <django:topics/settings>` and :doc:`Django URL Dispatcher <django:topics/http/urls>`.

What follows is a settings reference which skips many boilerplate Django settings. If you just want to get your Wagtail install up quickly without fussing with settings at the moment, see :ref:`complete_example_config`.


Middleware (``settings.py``)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. code-block:: python

  MIDDLEWARE = [
    'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',
    'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
    'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware',
    'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',
    'django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware',
    'django.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware',
    'django.middleware.security.SecurityMiddleware',

    'wagtail.contrib.redirects.middleware.RedirectMiddleware',
  ]

Wagtail depends on the default set of Django middleware modules, to cover basic security and functionality such as login sessions. One additional middleware module is provided:

``RedirectMiddleware``
  Wagtail provides a simple interface for adding arbitrary redirects to your site and this module makes it happen.


Apps (``settings.py``)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. code-block:: python

  INSTALLED_APPS = [

    'myapp',  # your own app

    'wagtail.contrib.forms',
    'wagtail.contrib.redirects',
    'wagtail.embeds',
    'wagtail.sites',
    'wagtail.users',
    'wagtail.snippets',
    'wagtail.documents',
    'wagtail.images',
    'wagtail.search',
    'wagtail.admin',
    'wagtail.core',

    'taggit',
    'modelcluster',

    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
  ]

Wagtail requires several Django app modules, third-party apps, and defines several apps of its own. Wagtail was built to be modular, so many Wagtail apps can be omitted to suit your needs. Your own app (here ``myapp``) is where you define your models, templates, static assets, template tags, and other custom functionality for your site.


Wagtail Apps
------------

``wagtail.core``
  The core functionality of Wagtail, such as the ``Page`` class, the Wagtail tree, and model fields.

``wagtail.admin``
  The administration interface for Wagtail, including page edit handlers.

``wagtail.documents``
  The Wagtail document content type.

``wagtail.snippets``
  Editing interface for non-Page models and objects. See :ref:`Snippets`.

``wagtail.users``
  User editing interface.

``wagtail.images``
  The Wagtail image content type.

``wagtail.embeds``
  Module governing oEmbed and Embedly content in Wagtail rich text fields. See :ref:`inserting_videos`.

``wagtail.search``
  Search framework for Page content. See :ref:`wagtailsearch`.

``wagtail.sites``
  Management UI for Wagtail sites.

``wagtail.contrib.redirects``
  Admin interface for creating arbitrary redirects on your site.

``wagtail.contrib.forms``
  Models for creating forms on your pages and viewing submissions. See :ref:`form_builder`.


Third-Party Apps
----------------

``taggit``
  Tagging framework for Django. This is used internally within Wagtail for image and document tagging and is available for your own models as well. See :ref:`tagging` for a Wagtail model recipe or the `Taggit Documentation`_.

.. _Taggit Documentation: https://django-taggit.readthedocs.org/en/latest/index.html

``modelcluster``
  Extension of Django ForeignKey relation functionality, which is used in Wagtail pages for on-the-fly related object creation. For more information, see :ref:`inline_panels` or `the django-modelcluster github project page`_.

.. _the django-modelcluster github project page: https://github.com/torchbox/django-modelcluster


URL Patterns
~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. code-block:: python

  from django.contrib import admin

  from wagtail.core import urls as wagtail_urls
  from wagtail.admin import urls as wagtailadmin_urls
  from wagtail.documents import urls as wagtaildocs_urls

  urlpatterns = [
      path('django-admin/', admin.site.urls),

      path('admin/', include(wagtailadmin_urls)),
      path('documents/', include(wagtaildocs_urls)),

      # Optional URL for including your own vanilla Django urls/views
      re_path(r'', include('myapp.urls')),

      # For anything not caught by a more specific rule above, hand over to
      # Wagtail's serving mechanism
      re_path(r'', include(wagtail_urls)),
  ]

This block of code for your project's ``urls.py`` does a few things:

* Load the vanilla Django admin interface to ``/django-admin/``
* Load the Wagtail admin and its various apps
* Dispatch any vanilla Django apps you're using other than Wagtail which require their own URL configuration (this is optional, since Wagtail might be all you need)
* Lets Wagtail handle any further URL dispatching.

That's not everything you might want to include in your project's URL configuration, but it's what's necessary for Wagtail to flourish.
