Django settings sans boilerplate

Installation

```sh
pip install -U django django-defaults
```

Usage
---

**Updating an existing Django project**

1️⃣ Create a new file named `defaults.toml` (next to `manage.py`) with the following contents:

```toml
[django]
settings-module = 'PROJECT_NAME.settings'
routes-module = 'PROJECT_NAME.urls'
```

This is the compulsory configuration file.

* `settings-module` is similar to `DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE`
* `routes-module` is similar to `ROOT_URLCONF`

2️⃣ Inject configuration variables into the current module (typically in `settings.py`)

```python
from defaults import emplace

emplace()
```

This replaces the entirety of the stock `settings.py` file, as generated by the `django-admin startproject` command.

3️⃣ Optional: ensure that the `DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE` environment variable is set (in scripts such as `manage.py`)

```python
from defaults import setenv

setenv()
```

This replaces the `os.environ.setdefault(DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE)` line.

**Creating a new Django project**

```sh
URL=https://github.com/mvasilkov/django-defaults/archive/template.zip
django-admin startproject --template $URL --extension py,toml PROJECT_NAME
```
