+# Django Development Patterns
+
+Production-grade Django architecture patterns for scalable, maintainable applications.
+
+## When to Activate
+
+- Building Django web applications
+- Designing Django REST Framework APIs
+- Working with Django ORM and models
+- Setting up Django project structure
+- Implementing caching, signals, middleware
+

+## Model Design Patterns
+
+### Model Best Practices
+
+```python
+from django.db import models
+from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractUser
+from django.core.validators import MinValueValidator, MaxValueValidator
+
+class User(AbstractUser):
+    """Custom user model extending AbstractUser."""
+    email = models.EmailField(unique=True)
+    phone = models.CharField(max_length=20, blank=True)
+    birth_date = models.DateField(null=True, blank=True)
+
+    USERNAME_FIELD = 'email'
+    REQUIRED_FIELDS = ['username']
+
+    class Meta:
+        db_table = 'users'
+        verbose_name = 'user'
+        verbose_name_plural = 'users'
+        ordering = ['-date_joined']
+
+    def __str__(self):
+        return self.email
+
+    def get_full_name(self):
+        return f"{self.first_name} {self.last_name}".strip()
+
+class Product(models.Model):
+    """Product model with proper field configuration."""
+    name = models.CharField(max_length=200)
+    slug = models.SlugField(unique=True, max_length=250)
+    description = models.TextField(blank=True)
+    price = models.DecimalField(
+        max_digits=10,
+        decimal_places=2,
+        validators=[MinValueValidator(0)]
+    )
+    stock = models.PositiveIntegerField(default=0)
+    is_active = models.BooleanField(default=True)
+    category = models.ForeignKey(
+        'Category',
+        on_delete=models.CASCADE,
+        related_name='products'
+    )
+    tags = models.ManyToManyField('Tag', blank=True, related_name='products')
+    created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
+    updated_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)
+
+    class Meta:
+        db_table = 'products'
+        ordering = ['-created_at']
+        indexes = [
+            models.Index(fields=['slug']),

+
+    def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
+        if not self.slug:
+            self.slug = slugify(self.name)
+        super().save(*args, **kwargs)
+```
+
+### QuerySet Best Practices
+
+```python
+from django.db import models
+
+class ProductQuerySet(models.QuerySet):
+    """Custom QuerySet for Product model."""
+
+    def active(self):
+        """Return only active products."""
+        return self.filter(is_active=True)
+
+    def with_category(self):
+        """Select related category to avoid N+1 queries."""
+        return self.select_related('category')
+
+    def with_tags(self):
+        """Prefetch tags for many-to-many relationship."""
+        return self.prefetch_related('tags')
+
+    def in_stock(self):
+        """Return products with stock > 0."""
+        return self.filter(stock__gt=0)
+
+    def search(self, query):
+        """Search products by name or description."""
+        return self.filter(
+            models.Q(name__icontains=query) |
+            models.Q(description__icontains=query)
+        )
+
+class Product(models.Model):
+    # ... fields ...
+
+    objects = ProductQuerySet.as_manager()  # Use custom QuerySet
+
+# Usage
+Product.objects.active().with_category().in_stock()
+```
+
+### Manager Methods
+
+```python
+class ProductManager(models.Manager):
+    """Custom manager for complex queries."""
+
+    def get_or_none(self, **kwargs):
+        """Return object or None instead of DoesNotExist."""
+        try:
+            return self.get(**kwargs)
+        except self.model.DoesNotExist:
+            return None
+
+    def create_with_tags(self, name, price, tag_names):
+        """Create product with associated tags."""
+        product = self.create(name=name, price=price)
+        tags = [Tag.objects.get_or_create(name=name)[0] for name in tag_names]
+        product.tags.set(tags)
+        return product
+
+    def bulk_update_stock(self, product_ids, quantity):
+        """Bulk update stock for multiple products."""
+        return self.filter(id__in=product_ids).update(stock=quantity)
+
+# In model
+class Product(models.Model):
+    # ... fields ...
+    custom = ProductManager()
+```
+
+## Django REST Framework Patterns
+
+### Serializer Patterns
+
+```python
+from rest_framework import serializers
+from django.contrib.auth.password_validation import validate_password

+
+    def validate(self, data):
+        """Validate passwords match."""
+        if data['password'] != data['password_confirm']:

+        return data
+
+    def create(self, validated_data):

+        user.save()
+        return user
+```
+
+### ViewSet Patterns
+
+```python
+from rest_framework import viewsets, status, filters
+from rest_framework.decorators import action
+from rest_framework.response import Response
+from rest_framework.permissions import IsAuthenticated, IsAdminUser
+from django_filters.rest_framework import DjangoFilterBackend
+from .models import Product
+from .serializers import ProductSerializer, ProductCreateSerializer
+from .permissions import IsOwnerOrReadOnly

+    permission_classes = [IsAuthenticated, IsOwnerOrReadOnly]
+    filter_backends = [DjangoFilterBackend, filters.SearchFilter, filters.OrderingFilter]
+    filterset_class = ProductFilter
+    search_fields = ['name', 'description']
+    ordering_fields = ['price', 'created_at', 'name']
+    ordering = ['-created_at']
+
+    def get_serializer_class(self):
+        """Return appropriate serializer based on action."""
+        if self.action == 'create':
+            return ProductCreateSerializer
+        return ProductSerializer
+
+    def perform_create(self, serializer):
+        """Save with user context."""
+        serializer.save(created_by=self.request.user)
+
+    @action(detail=False, methods=['get'])
+    def featured(self, request):
+        """Return featured products."""
+        featured = self.queryset.filter(is_featured=True)[:10]
+        serializer = self.get_serializer(featured, many=True)
+        return Response(serializer.data)
+
+    @action(detail=True, methods=['post'])
+    def purchase(self, request, pk=None):
+        """Purchase a product."""
+        product = self.get_object()
+        service = ProductService()
+        result = service.purchase(product, request.user)
+        return Response(result, status=status.HTTP_201_CREATED)
+
+    @action(detail=False, methods=['get'], permission_classes=[IsAuthenticated])
+    def my_products(self, request):
+        """Return products created by current user."""
+        products = self.queryset.filter(created_by=request.user)
+        page = self.paginate_queryset(products)
+        serializer = self.get_serializer(page, many=True)
+        return self.get_paginated_response(serializer.data)
+```
+
+### Custom Actions
+
+```python
+from rest_framework.decorators import api_view, permission_classes
+from rest_framework.permissions import IsAuthenticated
+from rest_framework.response import Response
+
+@api_view(['POST'])
+@permission_classes([IsAuthenticated])
+def add_to_cart(request):
+    """Add product to user cart."""
+    product_id = request.data.get('product_id')
+    quantity = request.data.get('quantity', 1)
+
+    try:
+        product = Product.objects.get(id=product_id)
+    except Product.DoesNotExist:
+        return Response(
+            {'error': 'Product not found'},
+            status=status.HTTP_404_NOT_FOUND
+        )
+
+    cart, _ = Cart.objects.get_or_create(user=request.user)
+    CartItem.objects.create(
+        cart=cart,

+        quantity=quantity
+    )
+
+    return Response({'message': 'Added to cart'}, status=status.HTTP_201_CREATED)
+```
+
+## Service Layer Pattern
+
+```python
+# apps/orders/services.py
+from typing import Optional
+from django.db import transaction
+from .models import Order, OrderItem
+
+class OrderService:
+    """Service layer for order-related business logic."""
+
+    @staticmethod
+    @transaction.atomic
+    def create_order(user, cart: Cart) -> Order:
+        """Create order from cart."""
+        order = Order.objects.create(
+            user=user,
+            total_price=cart.total_price
+        )
+
+        for item in cart.items.all():
+            OrderItem.objects.create(
+                order=order,
+                product=item.product,
+                quantity=item.quantity,
+                price=item.product.price
+            )
+
+        # Clear cart
+        cart.items.all().delete()
+
+        return order
+
+    @staticmethod
+    def process_payment(order: Order, payment_data: dict) -> bool:
+        """Process payment for order."""
+        # Integration with payment gateway
+        payment = PaymentGateway.charge(
+            amount=order.total_price,
+            token=payment_data['token']
+        )
+
+        if payment.success:
+            order.status = Order.Status.PAID
+            order.save()
+            # Send confirmation email
+            OrderService.send_confirmation_email(order)
+            return True
+
+        return False
+
+    @staticmethod
+    def send_confirmation_email(order: Order):
+        """Send order confirmation email."""
+        # Email sending logic
+        pass
+```
+
+## Caching Strategies
+
+### View-Level Caching
+
+```python
+from django.views.decorators.cache import cache_page
+from django.utils.decorators import method_decorator
+
+@method_decorator(cache_page(60 * 15), name='dispatch')  # 15 minutes
+class ProductListView(generic.ListView):
+    model = Product
+    template_name = 'products/list.html'
+    context_object_name = 'products'
+```
+
+### Template Fragment Caching
+
+```django
+{% load cache %}
+{% cache 500 sidebar %}
+    ... expensive sidebar content ...
+{% endcache %}
+```
+
+### Low-Level Caching
+
+```python
+from django.core.cache import cache
+
+def get_featured_products():
+    """Get featured products with caching."""
+    cache_key = 'featured_products'
+    products = cache.get(cache_key)
+
+    if products is None:
+        products = list(Product.objects.filter(is_featured=True))
+        cache.set(cache_key, products, timeout=60 * 15)  # 15 minutes
+
+    return products
+```
+
+### QuerySet Caching
+
+```python
+from django.core.cache import cache
+
+def get_popular_categories():
+    cache_key = 'popular_categories'
+    categories = cache.get(cache_key)
+
+    if categories is None:
+        categories = list(Category.objects.annotate(
+            product_count=Count('products')
+        ).filter(product_count__gt=10).order_by('-product_count')[:20])
+        cache.set(cache_key, categories, timeout=60 * 60)  # 1 hour
+
+    return categories
+```
+
+## Signals
+
+### Signal Patterns
+
+```python
+# apps/users/signals.py
+from django.db.models.signals import post_save
+from django.dispatch import receiver
+from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model
+from .models import Profile
+
+User = get_user_model()
+
+@receiver(post_save, sender=User)
+def create_user_profile(sender, instance, created, **kwargs):
+    """Create profile when user is created."""
+    if created:
+        Profile.objects.create(user=instance)
+
+@receiver(post_save, sender=User)
+def save_user_profile(sender, instance, **kwargs):
+    """Save profile when user is saved."""
+    instance.profile.save()
+
+# apps/users/apps.py
+from django.apps import AppConfig
+
+class UsersConfig(AppConfig):
+    default_auto_field = 'django.db.models.BigAutoField'
+    name = 'apps.users'
+
+    def ready(self):
+        """Import signals when app is ready."""
+        import apps.users.signals
+```
+
+## Middleware
+
+### Custom Middleware
+
+```python
+# middleware/active_user_middleware.py
+import time
+from django.utils.deprecation import MiddlewareMixin
+
+class ActiveUserMiddleware(MiddlewareMixin):
+    """Middleware to track active users."""
+
+    def process_request(self, request):
+        """Process incoming request."""
+        if request.user.is_authenticated:
+            # Update last active time
+            request.user.last_active = timezone.now()
+            request.user.save(update_fields=['last_active'])
+
+class RequestLoggingMiddleware(MiddlewareMixin):
+    """Middleware for logging requests."""
+
+    def process_request(self, request):
+        """Log request start time."""
+        request.start_time = time.time()
+
+    def process_response(self, request, response):
+        """Log request duration."""
+        if hasattr(request, 'start_time'):
+            duration = time.time() - request.start_time
+            logger.info(f'{request.method} {request.path} - {response.status_code} - {duration:.3f}s')
+        return response
+```

+```python
+# Bad - N+1 queries
+products = Product.objects.all()
+for product in products:
+    print(product.category.name)  # Separate query for each product
+
+# Good - Single query with select_related
+products = Product.objects.select_related('category').all()
+for product in products:
+    print(product.category.name)
+
+# Good - Prefetch for many-to-many
+products = Product.objects.prefetch_related('tags').all()
+for product in products:
+    for tag in product.tags.all():
+        print(tag.name)
+```
+
+### Database Indexing
+
+```python
+class Product(models.Model):
+    name = models.CharField(max_length=200, db_index=True)
+    slug = models.SlugField(unique=True)
+    category = models.ForeignKey('Category', on_delete=models.CASCADE)
+    created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
+
+    class Meta:
+        indexes = [
+            models.Index(fields=['name']),
+            models.Index(fields=['-created_at']),
+            models.Index(fields=['category', 'created_at']),
+        ]
+```
+
+### Bulk Operations
+
+```python
+# Bulk create
+Product.objects.bulk_create([
+    Product(name=f'Product {i}', price=10.00)
+    for i in range(1000)
+])
+
+# Bulk update
+products = Product.objects.all()[:100]
+for product in products:
+    product.is_active = True
+Product.objects.bulk_update(products, ['is_active'])
+
+# Bulk delete
+Product.objects.filter(stock=0).delete()
+```

+## Quick Reference
+
+| Pattern | Description |
+|---------|-------------|
+| Split settings | Separate dev/prod/test settings |
+| Custom QuerySet | Reusable query methods |
+| Service Layer | Business logic separation |
+| ViewSet | REST API endpoints |
+| Serializer validation | Request/response transformation |
+| select_related | Foreign key optimization |
+| prefetch_related | Many-to-many optimization |
+| Cache first | Cache expensive operations |
+| Signals | Event-driven actions |
+| Middleware | Request/response processing |
+
+Remember: Django provides many shortcuts, but for production applications, structure and organization matter more than concise code. Build for maintainability.
