The Mia! Django Accounting Application

Description

mia-accounting is a Django accounting application. It was rewritten from my own private accounting application in Perl/mod_perl in 2007. The revision aims to be mobile-friendly with Bootstrap, with a modern back-end framework and front-end technology like jQuery. The first revision was in Perl/Mojolicious in 2019. This is the second revision in Python/Django in 2020.

The Mia! Django accounting application comes with two parts:

  • The accounting application contains the main accounting application.
  • The mia_core application contains core shared libraries that are used by the accounting application and my other applications.

You may try it in live demonstration at:

Installation

Install

The Mia! Django accounting application requires Python 3.6 or above to work.

Install mia-accounting with pip.

pip install mia-accounting

settings.py

Add these two applications in the INSTALL_APPS section of your settings.py.

INSTALLED_APPS = [
  'mia_core.apps.MiaCoreConfig',
  'accounting.apps.AccountingConfig',
  ...
]

Make sure the locale middleware is in the MIDDLEWARE section of your settings.py, and add it if it is not added yet.

MIDDLEWARE = [
  ...
  'django.middleware.locale.LocaleMiddleware',
  ...
]

urls.py

Add the accounting application in the urlpatterns in your urls.py.

urlpatterns = [
  ...
  path('accounting/', decorator_include(login_required, 'accounting.urls')),
  ...
]

Make sure i18n and jsi18n are also in the urlpatterns of your urls.py, and add them if they are not added yet.

urlpatterns = [
  ...
  path('i18n/', include("django.conf.urls.i18n")),
  path('jsi18n/', JavaScriptCatalog.as_view(), name='javascript-catalog'),
  ...
]

base.html

Add the following to the very beginning of your base template base.html, before your first real HTML tag.

{% load mia_core %}
{% init_libs %}
{% block settings %}{% endblock %}

Add the CSS and JavaScripts in the <head>...</head> section of your base template base.html.

{% for css in libs.css %}
  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{% if css|is_static_url %}{% static css %}{% else %}{{ css }}{% endif %}" />
{% endfor %}
{% for js in libs.js %}
  <script src="{% if js|is_static_url %}{% static js %}{% else %}{{ js }}{% endif %}"></script>
{% endfor %}

Database Initialization

Run the management commands to initialize the database.

./manage.py migrate accounting
./manage.py accounting_accounts

Optionally you can populate the database with some sample data.

./manage.py accounting_sample

Restart Your Web Server

And you are done.
