What is Django-CFG?

Django-CFG is a next-generation Django framework that replaces settings.py with type-safe Pydantic v2 models. Catch configuration errors at startup, get full IDE autocomplete, and ship production-ready features in 30 seconds instead of weeks.

Why Django-CFG?

  • Type-safe config - Pydantic v2 validation catches errors before deployment
  • 90% less code - Replace 200+ line settings.py with 30 lines
  • Typed API clients - Generate TypeScript / Python / Go clients from your DRF OpenAPI schema
  • Real-time WebSockets - Centrifugo integration included
  • gRPC streaming - Bidirectional streaming with WebSocket bridge
  • AI-native docs - First Django framework with MCP server for AI assistants
  • Stripe payments - Checkout, webhooks, refunds out of the box (django-cfg[payments])
  • 8 enterprise apps - Save 18+ months of development

Configuration Example

Before: settings.py

# 200+ lines of untyped configuration
DEBUG = os.getenv('DEBUG', 'False') == 'True'  # ❌ Bug waiting to happen
DATABASE_PORT = os.getenv('DB_PORT', '5432')   # ❌ Still a string!

After: Django-CFG

from django_cfg import DjangoConfig, DatabaseConfig

class MyConfig(DjangoConfig):
    project_name: str = "My App"
    debug: bool = False  # ✅ Type-safe

    databases: dict[str, DatabaseConfig] = {
        "default": DatabaseConfig(
            name="${DB_NAME}",  # ✅ Validated at startup
            port=5432,          # ✅ Correct type
        )
    }

Features

🔒 Type-Safe Configuration

Pydantic v2 models replace error-prone settings.py - catch bugs before deployment.

🔌 Typed API Client Generation

Generate fully-typed TypeScript, Python, and Go clients straight from your DRF OpenAPI schema — no hand-written API code, no drift between backend and frontend.

python manage.py gen          # generate clients from the live OpenAPI schema
python manage.py gen --ts     # TypeScript only

📡 Real-Time WebSockets

Production-ready Centrifugo integration - live updates, notifications, presence tracking.

🌐 gRPC Microservices

Bidirectional streaming with automatic WebSocket bridge - perfect for real-time architectures.

💳 Payments Engine

Stripe-first payments app, production-lifted from a live SaaS: one-time checkout with idempotency, signature-verified webhooks with replay, refunds, reconciliation, and an in-memory fake provider for tests. Host couplings are config seams (owner model, fulfillment hook) — plug in your own billing objects.

from django_cfg import DjangoConfig, PaymentsConfig

class MyConfig(DjangoConfig):
    payments = PaymentsConfig(
        fulfillment_hook="apps.orders.hooks.activate_order",
    )
pip install 'django-cfg[payments]'   # adds the Stripe SDK
