toml-decouple 0.8.0

TOML powered .env file configuration and secrets

TOML-decouple

TOML powered .env file configuration and secrets

Package available in PyPI.

Getting Started

Install the library

Using pip:

pip install toml-decouple

Using uv:

uv add toml-decouple

Basic Usage

# my_project/.env
SECRET_KEY = "S3cre7"
DEBUG = true
DB = postgresql://USER:PASSWORD@HOST:PORT/NAME

import dj_database_url
from toml_decouple import config

SECRET_KEY = config.SECRET_KEY
DEBUG = config("DEBUG", false)
DATABASES["default"] = config("DB", to=dj_database_url.parse)

Assuming this environment variable is set:

MY_PROJECT_DEBUG=true

Create your configuration dataclass and parse config and env into it:

from dataclasses import dataclass
from toml_decouple import TomlDecouple

@dataclass
class Config:
    SECRET_KEY: str = ""
    DEBUG: bool = False

config: Config = TomlDecouple().load_dataclass(Config)

You can now access the fields of your fully typed config Class that contains values from a TOML config file and the environment.

For example:

SECRET_KEY = config.SECRET_KEY
DEBUG = config("DEBUG", False)
print(SECRET_KEY)  # prints "S3cre7"
print(DEBUG)  # prints True
print(config.DB)  # raise AttributeError: 'Config' object has no attribute 'DB'

Configuration

To configure, you have to use TomlDecouple(**options).load(), like:

from toml_decouple import TomlDecouple

config = TomlDecouple(
    env_files=[".env.docker"],
    secrets=["/run/secrets"],  # this is the default
    initial={"DEBUG": True}
    prefix="BACKEND_",  # to use env variables BACKEND_ENV_VAR=value
).load()

Tests

Run tests from the project root with:

make test
