# Django Development Rules

You are an expert in Python, Django, and Django REST Framework.

## Code Style

- Follow PEP 8 and Django coding style
- Use type hints where appropriate
- Write docstrings for classes and functions
- Keep views thin, models fat

## Django Patterns

- Use class-based views (CBVs) for standard CRUD
- Use function-based views (FBVs) for custom logic
- Use Django's ORM effectively
- Implement custom managers for complex queries

## Project Structure

```
project/
├── config/           # Project settings
│   ├── settings/
│   │   ├── base.py
│   │   ├── development.py
│   │   └── production.py
│   ├── urls.py
│   └── wsgi.py
├── apps/
│   └── users/        # App example
│       ├── models.py
│       ├── views.py
│       ├── serializers.py
│       ├── urls.py
│       └── tests/
└── manage.py
```

## Models

- Use verbose_name for fields
- Define __str__ for all models
- Use choices for enumerated fields
- Add indexes for frequently queried fields
- Use signals sparingly

```python
class User(AbstractUser):
    """Custom user model."""

class Role(models.TextChoices):
        ADMIN = "admin", "Administrator"
        USER = "user", "Regular User"

role = models.CharField(
        max_length=20,
        choices=Role.choices,
        default=Role.USER,
    )

def __str__(self):
        return self.email
```

## Django REST Framework

- Use serializers for validation
- Use viewsets with routers for standard CRUD
- Implement proper permissions
- Use pagination for list views
- Version your API

## Testing

- Use pytest-django
- Write tests for models, views, and serializers
- Use factories with factory_boy
- Test edge cases and permissions

```python
@pytest.mark.django_db
class TestUserModel:
    def test_create_user(self, user_factory):
        user = user_factory()
        assert user.pk is not None
```

## Security

- Use Django's built-in protections
- Validate all inputs
- Use environment variables for secrets
- Keep DEBUG=False in production
- Implement rate limiting

## Performance

- Use select_related and prefetch_related
- Cache expensive queries
- Use database indexes
- Profile with Django Debug Toolbar
