For [https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/django-admin/#django-admin-
option---template app/project templates] I found the docs a little
misleading when they say 'Any option passed to the startapp command' will
be added to the context. This lead me to believe I could add arbitrary
options to the command and pass them in to the context, which would make
for some highly configurable app/project boilerplates. But, from looking
at the
[https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/core/management/templates.py
source] I gather by 'any options' they meant any valid options for the
startapp/project commands.
Do you think it would be a cool feature to be able to pass any options or
a file that defines additional context (maybe something consumable by
[http://docs.python.org/library/configparser.html ConfigParser])?
e.g.
bp-options.cfg:
[options]
css_dir=sass
js_dir=coffee
~/projects$ django-admin.py --template=/path/to/boilerplate
--context=/path/to/bp-options.cfg myproject
I would definitely be willing to give this a shot if it is deemed useful.
Thanks!
