Notes for development

base.js is autogenerated so you need to call

python manage.py createbasejs

Remember update the package version before make deploy it on server.

Translation

To add a new translation for a word there are two options:

django-admin makemessages --all

This command adds words that are inside django templates to locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/django.po, there these words can be translated.

To add a word you can use the following syntax.

{% trans "new_word" %}

For words used in JavaScript files, the following command must be executed.

django-admin makemessages -d djangojs -l es  --ignore *.min.js

This command adds words that are inside the gettext js function, to locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/djangojs.po, there these words can be translated.

Here is an example of gettext implementation:

alert(gettext("new_word"))

Notes for releases

To fix use vendors files need to update the line 53

await asyncio.wait(map(lambda runner: asyncio.create_task(runner.future), running))

in the root {venv}/lib/python3.11/site-packages/pylp/cli/cli.py.
