A Django app to manage project configuration files.

Django Confidence is a Django app to make configuration files automatically.

This app is developed to help developers create their own layout to configuration files quick and simple with built-in dictionaries or by using configuration presets (that make it even more easier).

Quick start
-----------

1. Add "confidence" to your INSTALLED_APPS setting like this::

INSTALLED_APPS = [
'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.auth',
...
'confidence',
]

2. In your settings.py import "Configuration" class from "confidence" package like this::

from confidence import Configuration

3. Create a dictionary of config fieldsets like this::

markup = {
'section': {
'option': 'value'
},

'project': {
'project_name': 'Awesome Project',
}
}

4. In your settings.py create a variable called PROJECT_CONF and fill it with a Configuration instance::

PROJECT_CONF = Configuration(filepath:str, markup:dict)

4.1 Optional. You can use library of preset configuration files by importing from conf.presets. Example::

from confidence import Configuration
from confidence.presets import ProjectPreset, OptionsPreset

PROJECT_CONF = Configuration.compile_from_presets(filepath, [
ProjectPreset(name='Awesome Project', version='1.0', site_url='http://awesome!'),
OptionsPreset(debug=True, allowed_hosts=['127.0.0.1']),
])

5. Run python manage.py makeconf. Configuration file will be created.

6. Edit your configuration file as you want to.

7. Use it in your settings.py by using get-like methods::

PROJECT_NAME = PROJECT_CONF.get('project', 'project_name')
DEBUG = PROJECT_CONF.get_bool('options', 'debug')
ALLOWED_HOSTS = PROJECT_CONF.get_csv('options', 'allowed_hosts')

8. Enjoy!
