The default app layout is (see also the templates.)

|-- {APP_NAME}/
    |-- __init__.py
    |-- admin.py
    |-- apps.py
    |-- models.py
    |-- tests.py
    |-- views.py
    |-- templates/
    |-- migrations/
        |-- __init__.py

Important

EspressoDB requires this layout for import statements and static/template path finding.

Note

This command overrides default startapp command to match new folder layout.

validate_name(name, *args, **kwargs)

This Override of validate_name disables the import_module check which was implemented on django commit fc9566d42daf28cdaa25a5db1b5ade253ceb064f or ticket https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/30393#no1 (TemplateCommand.handle calls validate name on the target directory).
