from inspect import getmembers
from django.conf import settings
class AppSettings(object):
"""
An app setting object to be used for handling app setting defaults
gracefully and providing a nice API for them. Say you have an app
called ``myapp`` and want to define a few defaults, and refer to the
defaults easily in the apps code. Add a ``settings.py`` to your app::
from path.to.utils import AppSettings
class MyAppSettings(AppSettings):
SETTING_1 = "one"
SETTING_2 = (
"two",
)
Then initialize the setting with the correct prefix in the location of
of your choice, e.g. ``conf.py`` of the app module::
settings = MyAppSettings(prefix="MYAPP")
The ``MyAppSettings`` instance will automatically look at Django's
global setting to determine each of the settings and respect the
provided ``prefix``. E.g. adding this to your site's ``settings.py``
will set the ``SETTING_1`` setting accordingly::
MYAPP_SETTING_1 = "uno"
Usage
-----
Instead of using ``from django.conf import settings`` as you would
usually do, you can switch to using your apps own settings module
to access the app settings::
from myapp.conf import settings
print myapp_settings.MYAPP_SETTING_1
``AppSettings`` instances also work as pass-throughs for other
global settings that aren't related to the app. For example the
following code is perfectly valid::
from myapp.conf import settings
if "myapp" in settings.INSTALLED_APPS:
print "yay, myapp is installed!"
Custom handling
---------------
Each of the settings can be individually configured with callbacks.
For example, in case a value of a setting depends on other settings
or other dependencies. The following example sets one setting to a
different value depending on a global setting::
from django.conf import settings
class MyCustomAppSettings(AppSettings):
ENABLED = True
def configure_enabled(self, value):
return value and not self.DEBUG
custom_settings = MyCustomAppSettings("MYAPP")
The value of ``custom_settings.MYAPP_ENABLED`` will vary depending on the
value of the global ``DEBUG`` setting.
Each of the app settings can be customized by providing
a method ``configure_<lower_setting_name>`` that takes the default
value as defined in the class attributes as the only parameter.
The method needs to return the value to be use for the setting in
question.
