django-dbsettings

dbsettings is a simple reusable Django app allowing you to store key-value pairs in your database, so you can store configuation in your database easily.

Quick start

1. Add "dbsettings" to your INSTALLED_APPS setting like this:

   INSTALLED_APPS = [
        ...,
        'dbsettings',
    ]
   

2. Run python manage.py makemigrations dbsettings and python manage.py migrate dbsettings to create the polls models.

3. Start the development server and visit http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/ to add configuration values or use dbsettings.functions.setValue(key, value) in your code.

4. To retrieve a configuration value from the database, use dbsettings.functions.getValue(key) in your code.

Upgrade notes

When upgrading to 0.9 from a previous version, your database tables will need to be updated. To do this, just execute step 2 from the "Quick start" section again.
