Architecture Overview

Engineers ยท Layered architecture and design patterns

Architectural Philosophy

Django follows a Middleware pipeline โ€” `django/middleware` architecture with elements of Delivery pipeline โ€” `django/dispatch`, Acyclic dependency graph โ€” clean layering.

Pattern Analysis

Middleware pipeline โ€” `django/middleware`

A structured approach to organizing code and managing complexity.

Benefits: Structured organization, maintainability, clarity

Delivery pipeline โ€” `django/dispatch`

The UI is rendered client-side as a single-page application, with dynamic content updates without full page reloads.

Benefits: Fast navigation, rich interactivity, offline capabilities

Acyclic dependency graph โ€” clean layering

The system operates as a command-line interface, accepting user input through terminal commands and producing structured output.

Benefits: Automation-friendly, scriptable, integrates with CI/CD pipelines

System Layers

The system is organized into 4 functional layers, each encapsulating a distinct area of responsibility:

Route Map

Mixed audience ยท Application routes and API endpoints with context

A complete listing of user-facing pages and backend API endpoints. This map shows every URL a user or client can interact with, along with the source file that handles each route.


Route Detection

This project is a CLI tool โ€” it does not expose HTTP routes or serve web pages. This is expected behavior, not a detection failure.

CLI tools interact through terminal commands rather than URLs. See the System Overview or Developer Onboarding documents for command documentation.

<!-- repolens:docs-badge --> ![Docs by RepoLens](https://github.com/CHAPIBUNNY/repolens) ยท Examples

API Surface

Engineers ยท Backend API endpoints with usage examples

This page documents both the API endpoints the application exposes and the external services it integrates with. Use it as a reference for understanding the system's interfaces.


Internal API Endpoints

These are the backend services the application provides to handle incoming requests.

No API routes were detected in this scan. If your project uses a routing framework (Express, Fastify, NestJS, etc.), ensure the relevant directories are included in your scan.include patterns.


External API Integrations

Third-party services the application connects to, grouped by category.

No external API integrations were detected. This section populates automatically when RepoLens identifies SDK imports or API client usage in your codebase.


HTTP method reference โ€” GET: retrieve data, POST: create, PUT/PATCH: update, DELETE: remove.

Scoring Methodology

The health score (0โ€“100) is computed from four dimensions:

FactorWeightHow It's Measured
Complexityโ€“1/pt above 10, โ€“2/pt above 30Cyclomatic complexity for JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, and Go (regex, not AST)
Function complexityโ€“2/pt above 8 per functionHighest complexity function in the file
Couplingโ€“1/5 units above 20Fan-in ร— Fan-out (import connections)
Documentationโ€“10 if <50%, โ€“5 if <80%JSDoc/TSDoc coverage of exports
Securityโ€“10/high, โ€“5/medium findingSecurity anti-pattern findings in file

Generated by RepoLens code health analysis. Complexity covers JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, and Go. It is regex-based and may differ from AST-based tools. Scores are relative indicators, not absolute quality measures.
