How to deploy with ASGI
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
As well as WSGI, Django also supports deploying on ASGI_, the emerging Python
|
|
standard for asynchronous web servers and applications.
|
|
|
|
.. _ASGI: https://asgi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
|
|
|
|
Django's :djadmin:`startproject` management command sets up a default ASGI
|
|
configuration for you, which you can tweak as needed for your project, and
|
|
direct any ASGI-compliant application server to use.
|
|
|
|
Django includes getting-started documentation for the following ASGI servers:
|
|
|
|
.. toctree::
|
|
:maxdepth: 1
|
|
|
|
daphne
|
|
uvicorn
|
|
|
|
The ``application`` object
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
Like WSGI, ASGI has you supply an ``application`` callable which
|
|
the application server uses to communicate with your code. It's commonly
|
|
provided as an object named ``application`` in a Python module accessible to
|
|
the server.
|
|
|
|
The :djadmin:`startproject` command creates a file
|
|
:file:`<project_name>/asgi.py` that contains such an ``application`` callable.
|
|
|
|
It's not used by the development server (``runserver``), but can be used by
|
|
any ASGI server either in development or in production.
|
|
|
|
ASGI servers usually take the path to the application callable as a string;
|
|
for most Django projects, this will look like ``myproject.asgi:application``.
|
|
|
|
.. warning::
|
|
|
|
While Django's default ASGI handler will run all your code in a synchronous
|
|
thread, if you choose to run your own async handler you must be aware of
|
|
async-safety.
|
|
|
|
Do not call blocking synchronous functions or libraries in any async code.
|
|
Django prevents you from doing this with the parts of Django that are not
|
|
async-safe, but the same may not be true of third-party apps or Python
|
|
libraries.
|
|
|
|
Configuring the settings module
|
|
===============================
|
|
|
|
When the ASGI server loads your application, Django needs to import the
|
|
settings module — that's where your entire application is defined.
|
|
|
|
Django uses the :envvar:`DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE` environment variable to locate
|
|
the appropriate settings module. It must contain the dotted path to the
|
|
settings module. You can use a different value for development and production;
|
|
it all depends on how you organize your settings.
|
|
|
|
If this variable isn't set, the default :file:`asgi.py` sets it to
|
|
``mysite.settings``, where ``mysite`` is the name of your project.
|
|
|
|
Applying ASGI middleware
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
To apply ASGI middleware, or to embed Django in another ASGI application, you
|
|
can wrap Django's ``application`` object in the ``asgi.py`` file. For example::
|
|
|
|
from some_asgi_library import AmazingMiddleware
|
|
application = AmazingMiddleware(application)
|
