Configurations

There are certain configurations that allow you to customize the application.

CUTE_STATUS_BASE_URLS

This is the list of URLs to be used for displaying cute statuses. At the moment, the app only displays the pictures of dogs and cats. In case you know of any more such services(for e.g. one for pandas) you may add them here. Also, it would be great if you could take a moment to make a pull request to add the feature here as well. Defaults to :

 = (
    'https://http.dog/{status_code}.jpg',
    'https://http.cat/{status_code}.jpg',
)

CUTE_STATUS_BASE_URL

The default URL for displaying cute statuses. Suppose, you want only cat pictures as status code, you can use this by setting it to http://http.cat/{status_code}. This is useful only when you have set CUTE_STATUS_USE_RANDOM to False.

CUTE_STATUS_BASE_TEMPLATE

The base template used for rendering cute statuses. It is advisable to override this to cater the web page according to your needs. For example, you might want your header and footer etc. to also be added along the cute status codes. Defaults to 'django_cute_status/base.html'.

CUTE_STATUS_USE_RANDOM

This tells whether to display cute statuses using one of the available URLs randomly. Defaults to True.

CUTE_STATUS_FOR_CODES

This a list of status code for which cute status will be displayed. Defaults to cute_status_for_codes.

CUTE_STATUS_NOT_FOR_CODES

This is a list of status code for which cute status will not be displayed. You may want to display text as per you business logic. Defaults to cute_status_not_for_codes.

CUTE_STATUS_HEADER

This is the header sent added to the response. It can be useful in determining when you want to render your own responses, CSS, JS, media files etc. Defaults to 'X-Cute-Status'.

CUTE_STATUS_OVERRIDE_HEADER_ON_ALL

Whether to add the CUTE_STATUS_HEADER on all HTTP requests or not. Defaults to False.

Credits
