django-env-checker 0.2.0

A simple Django env var checker

django-env-checker

django-env-checker is a simple yet effective tool to enforce required environment variables in your Django project. If any required environment variables are missing, the application will raise an error.

---

Installation

pip install django-env-checker

settings.py

Add env_check to your INSTALLED_APPS

Define the list of required environment variables:

REQUIRED_ENV_VARS = [
    'SECRET_KEY',
    'API_KEY',
    'PGPASSWORD'
]

Run your application with DEBUG = False to activate the environment variable checks. If any required environment variable is missing, the app will raise an error on startup.

---

Behavior

The environment variable validation only runs when DEBUG is set to False.

If a required variable is missing, the startup will fail immediately, preventing the app from running in an unsafe state.
