django-settings

Simple django reusable application for storing global project settings in database.

By project settings I mean things like admin mail, some default values like default_post_limit etc. Values are validated depending their type.

API

from django_settings import models

# getting values
models.Setting.objects.get_value('post_limit')

# setting values
models.Setting.objects.set_value('admin_email', models.String, '[email protected]')

#optional you can specify a description:
models.Setting.objects.set_value('pseudo_bool', models.Integer, '1', desc='demonstrate desc param u pseudo bool')

# checking if value exists
models.Setting.objects.value_object_exists('admin_email')

There is ability to setup some defaults via project settings.py file:

DJANGO_SETTINGS = {
   'application_limit': ('Integer', 2),
   'admin_email': ('String', '[email protected]'),
}

Settings types

Currently there are three setting types supported:

• Integer,
• String,
• PositiveInteger,
• Bool,
• Date

Admin

Now you can manipulate setting via your admin interface. Just install the application and put it in your INSTALL_APPS.
