# allianceauth-app-utils — Commonly used utilities and helpers for rapid development of Alliance Auth apps.

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 258.6K/mo

## What it is and what it does

allianceauth-app-utils is a utility library designed to support developers building extensions for Alliance Auth, a Django-based application framework. It packages commonly used helper functions and classes that would otherwise be duplicated across multiple Alliance Auth apps, providing a shared foundation for rapid development.

The package is actively maintained, supports Python 3.8 through 3.12, and works with Django 4.2 and 5.2. It has low install friction as a pure-Python wheel and depends on standard packages (allianceauth, requests, pytz, typing_extensions). It is most useful if you are already developing within the Alliance Auth ecosystem and need to reduce boilerplate code across your extensions.

Use it for:

- Accelerate development of a new Alliance Auth app by importing shared utility functions instead of writing them from scratch.
- Reduce code duplication when building multiple Alliance Auth extensions that need common helper logic.
- Standardize utility patterns across a suite of Alliance Auth applications maintained by your organization.
- Access pre-built classes and functions for common tasks in Django-based Alliance Auth development.
