Re: This is a question about the name of the application

[Joejo Enchill]

Hello Kim,

If I understand you correctly;

#1. You have a Django project in which you have installed "rest_framework" (Django Rest Framework) into your environment (for example using "pip install djangorestframework"). And also, you have registered "rest_framework" in the INSTALLED_APPS of the project's settings.py

#2. Again, you attempted to create a new app using the "py manage.py startapp" command where you typed "rest_framework" as the name for the new app.

In that case:

#1. Since you have installed Django Rest Framework (pip install djangorestframework) and registered the "rest_framework" in your INSTALLED_APPS in the settings.py, you CANNOT create another app in the same project with the same name "rest_framework". This will result in app name conflict, the very error you are seeing.

#2. If your intention is to have the rest_framework app in your project, then you already have it after the installation with "pip" and registration in the INSTALLED_APPS in the settings.py. Simply go ahead and import the various functions into your app and use them as described in the Django Rest Framework tutorial.

#3. If your intention is creating a new custom app, then you must choose a different name apart from "rest_framework".

I hope my understanding of your challenge and my recommendation is helpful.

I also hope other senior Django developers get a better understanding of your challenge and offer a working solution.

Regards,

Enchill

I think I copied Django from root.urls to user.
And settings.The rest_framework registered with py's INSTALLED_APPS was tried to create an application through the py manage.py start_apprest_framework command, but this code occurred.

CommandError: 'rest_framework' conflicts with the name of an existing Python module and cannot be used as an app name. Please try another name.n app name. Please try another name.

I think it's because I wrote the name of the application in snake_case. Can I make the name of the application in restFramework into camelCase?

I need your help.
