Settings Management API

Funfactory’s default settings module provides some useful helper functions that make managing your playdoh app’s settings easier.

• get_apps(exclude=(), append=())

  The get_apps function returns the current INSTALLED_APPS tuple, modified based on the exclude and append parameters, which can be tuples or lists. INSTALLED_APPS originates in funfactory’s settings_base.py file, containing the default suite of funfactory apps, but can be modified using this function to add or remove apps as necessary for your project.

  The state of the INSTALLED_APPS tuple returned by this function persists so that you can modify it as necessary for your app in settings/base.py and then further modify it for your local install in settings/local.py.

  Example:

  INSTALLED_APPS = get_apps(
      exclude=('cronjobs', 'djcelery'),
      append=('debug_toolbar',)
  )
  

• get_middleware(exclude=(), append=())

  Similar to get_apps, this function returns the current MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES tuple and persists its state through the various settings files.

• get_template_context_processors(exclude=(), append=())

  Again, similar to get_apps but returns the current TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS tuple and persists its state through the various settings files.
