How to use Django with Hypercorn

================================

.. highlight:: bash

Hypercorn_ is an ASGI server that supports HTTP/1, HTTP/2, and HTTP/3

with an emphasis on protocol support.

Installing Hypercorn

====================

You can install Hypercorn with ``pip``::

    python -m pip install hypercorn

Running Django in Hypercorn

===========================

When Hypercorn is installed, a ``hypercorn`` command is available

which runs ASGI applications. Hypercorn needs to be called with the

location of a module containing an ASGI application object, followed

by what the application is called (separated by a colon).

For a typical Django project, invoking Hypercorn would look like::

    hypercorn myproject.asgi:application

This will start one process listening on ``127.0.0.1:8000``. It

requires that your project be on the Python path; to ensure that run

this command from the same directory as your ``manage.py`` file.

For more advanced usage, please read the `Hypercorn documentation

<Hypercorn_>`_.
