django-project-info

A small plugin which takes a configuration (like Bower or npm) and it provides data via context processors.

Usage

Register plugin in requirements.txt and in you Django configuration

https://github.com/lukasrychtecky/django-project-info/tarball/0.1.0#egg=django-project-info-0.1.0

and

TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = (
    'project_info.context_processors.get_project_info',
)

PIP_CONFIG = 'pip.json'

Create a pip.json (the name depends on you, but must be same in Django configuration)

{
    "name": "short project name",
    "version": "0.1.0",
    "verbose": "verbose project name"
}

Templates

All values from pip.json are available in a template via the context processor. Every key is capitalized and prefixed by PROJECT_, e.g. version becomes PROJECT_VERSION.

Helpers

If you want to get only parsed pip.json file you can use get_project_info_dict

from project_info import get_project_info_dict

get_project_info_dict()

You can specify pip config file

get_project_info_dict('pip.json')

If you want to get only project version use

from project_info import get_version

get_version()

again first parameter can be pip config file

get_version('pip.json')
