=============================
How to use Django with Daphne
=============================
Daphne_ is a pure-Python ASGI server for UNIX, maintained by members of the
Django project. It acts as the reference server for ASGI.
.. _Daphne: https://pypi.org/project/daphne/
Installing Daphne
===================
You can install Daphne with ``pip``:
.. code-block:: shell
python -m pip install daphne
Running Django in Daphne
========================
When Daphne is installed, a ``daphne`` command is available which starts the
Daphne server process. At its simplest, Daphne needs to be called with the
location of a module containing an ASGI application object, followed by what
the application is called (separated by a colon).
For a typical Django project, invoking Daphne would look like:
.. code-block:: shell
daphne myproject.asgi:application
This will start one process listening on ``127.0.0.1:8000``. It requires that
your project be on the Python path; to ensure that run this command from the
same directory as your ``manage.py`` file.
.. _daphne-runserver:
Integration with ``runserver``
==============================
Daphne provides a :djadmin:`runserver` command to serve your site under ASGI
during development.
This can be enabled by adding ``daphne`` to the start of your
:setting:`INSTALLED_APPS` and adding an ``ASGI_APPLICATION`` setting pointing
to your ASGI application object::
INSTALLED_APPS = [
"daphne",
...,
]
ASGI_APPLICATION = "myproject.asgi.application"
