Access Django settings from templates the right way

Overview

The Django Settings Export app is designed to provide a simple mechanism for making certain settings of a Django project accessible from within templates. This allows developers to easily access and utilize these settings in their template code.

Features

  • Explicitly listed settings export: Only the settings keys that are explicitly listed are exported to the templates, ensuring clarity and preventing unwanted access to settings.
  • Error handling: Accessing an undefined or un-exported setting key from a template will result in an exception, ensuring that errors are not allowed to pass silently.
  • Flexible settings variable name: Developers have the option to change the name of the context variable to their preferred name, making it easier to integrate with existing plugins or frameworks.

Summary

The Django Settings Export app is a useful tool for Django developers who need to make specific settings accessible from within templates. It offers a straightforward and explicit approach to exporting settings and provides error handling to prevent silent errors. With its flexibility in allowing developers to customize the name of the settings variable, it can easily integrate with existing projects.
