environment variables django
$ pip install django-environ
#In settings.py
import environ
# Initialise environment variables
env = environ.Env()
environ.Env.read_env()
#In the same directory as settings.py, create a file called ‘.env’
#Declare your environment variables in .env
#Make sure you don’t use quotations around strings
#Example:
DATABASE_NAME=postgresdatabase
#IMPORTANT: Add your .env file to .gitignore
#Use the variables as follows:
DATABASES = {
...
‘NAME’: env(‘DATABASE_NAME’),
...
}
