How to make migrations for a reusable Django app?

Question

I am making a reusable Django app without a project. This is the directory structure:

/
/myapp/
/myapp/models.py
/myapp/migrations/
/myapp/migrations/__init_         


        

Answer 1

Create your_app/migrations_settings.py file:

SECRET_KEY = 'fake-key'

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'your_app'
]

then

export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=yourapp.migrations_settings
django-admin makemigrations yourapp
