README
Organize Django settings into multiple files and directories. Easily override and modify settings. Use wildcards in settings file paths and mark settings files as optional.
Read this blog post for more information. Also, check this example project.
Requirements
While this package will most likely work with the most versions of django
, we officially support:
- 2.2
- 3.1
- 3.2
- 4.0
This package has no dependencies itself.
In case you need older python
/ django
versions support,
then consider using older versions of django-split-settings
.
Installation
pip install django-split-settings
Usage
Replace your existing settings.py
with a list of components that
make up your Django settings. Preferably create a settings package
that contains all the files.
Here's a minimal example:
from split_settings.tools import optional, include
include(
'components/base.py',
'components/database.py',
optional('local_settings.py')
)
In the example, the files base.py
and database.py
are included
in that order from the subdirectory called components/
.
local_settings.py
in the same directory is included if it exists.
Note: The local context is passed on to each file, so each following file can access and modify the settings declared in the previous files.
We also made an in-depth tutorial.
Tips and tricks
You can use wildcards in file paths:
include('components/my_app/*.py')
Note that files are included in the order that glob
returns them,
probably in the same order as what ls -U
would list them. The
files are NOT in alphabetical order.
You can modify common settings in environment settings simply importing them
# local_settings.py
from components.base import INSTALLED_APPS
INSTALLED_APPS += (
'raven.contrib.django.raven_compat',
)
