dj-config 0.0.1

This is a fork of the Django library for Heroku apps.

This is a Django library for Heroku applications that ensures a seamless deployment and development experience.

This library provides:

• Settings configuration (Static files / WhiteNoise).

• Logging configuration.

---

Django 4.0 is targeted, but older versions of Django should be compatible.

Usage of dj_config

In settings.py, at the very bottom:

…
# Configure Django App for Heroku.
import dj_config
from dotenv import load_dotenv
load_dotenv()  # take environment variables
django_xconfig.settings(locals())

This will automatically configure DATABASE_URL, ALLOWED_HOSTS, WhiteNoise (for static assets), Logging, and Heroku CI for your application.

Bonus points! If you set the SECRET_KEY environment variable, it will automatically be used in your Django settings, too!

Disabling Functionality

settings() also accepts keyword arguments that can be passed False as a value, which will disable automatic configuration for their specific areas of responsibility:

• databases

• staticfiles

• allowed_hosts

• logging

• secret_key
