Keep your env.sample up to date when using django-environ
- Put every env var with its configuration in a
ENV_DEFAULTS
variable, in a separate python file namedenvironment_defaults.py
(exactly this file name)
# environment_defaults.py
ENV_DEFAULTS = dict(
VARIABLE_WITH_DEFAULT_VALUE=(str, "default value"),
VARIABLE_WITHOUT_DEFAULT_VALUE=str,
)
- Instantiate
Env
withENV_DEFAULTS
on your Django settings file
# settings.py
from environ import Env
from environment_defaults import ENV_DEFAULTS
env = Env(**ENV_DEFAULTS)
- And ensure you are accessing it using
env("VAR_NAME")
instead ofenv.str("VAR_NAME")
# settings.py
value = env("VARIABLE_WITH_DEFAULT_VALUE")
value = env("VARIABLE_WITHOUT_DEFAULT_VALUE")
- Add this pre-commit so your
env.sample
gets updated on each commit
