django-dboptions
The missing simple Django database configuration options
pip install django-dboptions
Add dboptions to INSTALLED_APPS
Run migrations.
Add DBOPTIONS list with registered options into settings.py:
DBOPTIONS = [
{
"name": "DEFAULT_CACHE_INTERVAL",
"default": 60,
"description": "sets cache interval in seconds",
"cast": int
},
{
"name": "DISABLE_NOTIFICATIONS",
"default": False,
"description": "allows to disable notifications on site",
"cast": "bool"
}
]cast can be callable function that casts string option representation into Python object or string that
matches to one of the predefined cast function. At moment only "bool" available, which internally looks like this:
def cast_bool(value):
if not value:
return False
return value is True or value.lower() in ["1", "true", "yes"]Now it's possible to add/change registered options in admin web interface.
And to use its value in code:
from dboptions import Option
default_cache_interval = Option.get('DEFAULT_CACHE_INTERVAL')
