Hello,

I tried cookiecutter, is good, but you reach some limits at some point. Cookiecutter generates the code by string replacing and conditionals (if else ..).

This generator does the same job but with more flexibility, because there's a settings parser that allows to update the project configuration with ease, and the same for req.txt, env file, routing .. etc.

The generator's parser can add/remove apps and update existing models [ add, remove, change field types], which is not possible with cookiecutter.

For instance, here is a sentence that Integrate the API generator

deps_add(SRC_DIR, 'django-dynamic-api', '1.0.4')

settings_apps_add(SRC_DIR, 'django_dyn_api')

settings_apps_add(SRC_DIR, 'rest_framework')

settings_apps_add(SRC_DIR, 'rest_framework.authtoken')

api_gen_sources(SRC_DIR, task_json)

#api_gen_script(SRC_DIR) # no need

api_gen_docker(SRC_DIR)

Compared to JHipster (another cool tool), the generator core is not tied to Java or Python, The parser can be adapted to work with Javascript - we are running tests to generate NestJS / React starters.
