Greetings y'all! I'm looking for recommendations regarding adding Channels to an existing Django 1.11 application.
Every guide I've followed assumes that one is using Channels to build an application from scratch, and that is OK to replace django's native calls by Channels. Channels' documentation suggests different ways of setting up authentication, sessions, etc, but it is not clear to me that every feature of Django 1.11 has its counterpart on Channels. I am afraid I'll spend days migrating my system to Channels only to figure out that a particular feature of Django is not supported by Channels. In order to avoid that I've decided to ask y'all first. Ideally, I would like to set Channels on a particular Django app, not on the entire Django project (other apps would not be aware of Channels being setup). Is that possible? If this is not possible, my best guess is that I would need to add Channels to an independent Django project, and have these two servers communicate. This 2nd server would point to the same database as the 1st, and thus would be able to run authentication with same credentials, among other data related operations. I appreciate any guidance on this matter. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
