Frontend Settings

Abstract

This project provides an API that expose settings and feature flags for the frontend.

It uses django-drf to create an endpoint to expose flags and settings configured in django-waffle and django-constance

Usage

Requirements Python (3.10–3.12; Django 6.x requires Python 3.12+) Django (4.2, 5.2 LTS, 6.0) Django REST Framework (3.15+)

Installation

Install using pip:

pip install django-frontend-settings

Add ‘frontend-settings’ to your INSTALLED_APPS setting.

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    'frontend_settings',
]

Expose the view in your urls:

from django.urls import path
from frontend_settings.views import settings as frontend_settings_view

path("frontend-settings/", frontend_settings_view, name="frontend-settings"),

Then your flags from waffle and setting from constance should be returned on a get in this route:

$ curl 'http://localhost:8000/frontend-settings/'
{"data":{"flags":{"MY_FEATURE_FLAG":true},"settings":{}}}

In that case I had FRONTEND_MY_FEATURE_FLAG flag in waffle. The default prefix for flags is FRONTEND_, if you like to change it you can do by changing the following config on settings.py:

FRONTEND_SETTINGS = {
    "WAFFLE_FLAG_PREFIX": "FRONTEND_", # Prefix used to filter out the flag that should be exposed in the endpoint
    "CONSTANCE_KEY_PREFIX": "FRONTEND_", # Prefix used to filter out the settings in constance
}
