Title: Integrating the Luna App into Your Django Project: A Step-by-Step Guide

(2025-03-12)

Below is a concise, practical walkthrough on integrating the *Luna App* into your existing Django project. The tutorial assumes you have a working Django environment, a database configured, and that you desire to incorporate *Lilith’s* caretaker-driven timeline features (hourly moon data, cultural holiday tracking, philanthropic integrations).

I. Basic Setup & Installation

1. Clone or Install the Luna App:
   If the *Luna App* resides in a Git repo, clone it into your project folder or add it as a submodule. Alternatively, if it’s a PyPI package, install with:

   pip install lilith-luna-app

   Adjust as needed for your environment or the actual package name.
2. Add "luna_app" to INSTALLED_APPS:
   In your project’s settings.py, locate INSTALLED_APPS and include:

   
   INSTALLED_APPS = [
       # ...
       'django.contrib.admin',
       'django.contrib.auth',
       # other Django/core apps
       'luna_app',  # <-- Add the Luna App here
       # ...
   ]

II. Run Migrations & Check Models

1. Apply Migrations:
   From your project root, run:

   python manage.py migrate

   This creates any tables needed by the *Luna App* (e.g., LunaHour, LunarHoliday).
2. Verify Tables & Admin Access:
   Optionally, register the Luna models in your admin panel if you wish to edit them directly in Django Admin.

III. Configure Data Ingestion (Optional Celery Setup)

1. Celery for Scheduled Tasks:
   If you plan on continuously fetching moon data or refreshing holiday info, set up Celery with a broker (e.g., Redis). Example:

   
   # project_name/celery.py
   import os
   from celery import Celery
   
   os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'project_name.settings')
   app = Celery('project_name')
   app.config_from_object('django.conf:settings', namespace='CELERY')
   app.autodiscover_tasks()

   Then start a worker with:

   celery -A project_name worker -l info

2. Writing fetch tasks:
   Create Celery tasks to pull data from external APIs (moon data, holiday databases) and populate Luna models.

IV. Using the Luna App in Your Code

1. Example Model Usage:
   

   
   from luna_app.models import LunaHour
   
   def create_lunahour_entry():
       # For a given hour in your timeline:
       new_hour = LunaHour.objects.create(
           start_timestamp=timezone.now(),
           end_timestamp=timezone.now() + timedelta(hours=1),
           moon_distance_km=384400,
           moon_luminosity=0.42
       )
       return new_hour

2. Holiday Many-to-Many Linking:
   

   
   from luna_app.models import LunarHoliday
   
   def link_holiday_to_hour(lunahour, holiday_name):
       holiday, created = LunarHoliday.objects.get_or_create(
           name=holiday_name,
           holiday_start=some_start_time,
           holiday_end=some_end_time
       )
       # If the M2M is on LunaHour model:
       lunahour.holidays.add(holiday)
       lunahour.save()

V. Optional Frontend or Dashboard

If you’d like a real-time timeline or dashboard:

• Use Django templates or a React/Vue SPA to display each hour’s moon data and holiday overlaps.
• For frequent data pushes, consider Django Channels or another websocket approach.

“By following these steps—adding luna_app to INSTALLED_APPS, running migrations, optionally configuring Celery for automated data ingestion, and verifying the many-to-many holiday linkage—you’ll have the Luna App fully integrated with your project.”
