generator-django-environ

Create a django project with django environ

Installation

First, install Yeoman and generator-django-environ using npm (we assume you have pre-installed node.js).

npm install -g yo
npm install -g generator-django-environ

Then generate your new project:

yo django-environ

Project structure

This project uses django environ to handle the project settings. The project will have 4 settings files:

• base.py

  base.py holds the shared configuration.

• dev.py

  dev.py should be used during development.

• test.py

  test.py is used when running the tests with py.test.

• prod.py

  prod.py is used as default settings file. It has only one required setting at the moment, the SECRET_KEY

Specifying settings

In order to use the development setttings file, you should set the DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE. You can do this in two ways. one is to set it as an environ variable, the other way is to create an .env file with the setting.

DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=myapp.settings.dev

You can use this file to specify all the other settings:

• DEBUG
• ALLOWED_HOSTS
• SECRET_KEY
