Partitioning settings per role? about django-constance HOT 2 CLOSED

Hello, there is no such feature in constance.

How I see different approaches to store project settings:

1. Store settings in code or env vars. Env vars are defined on server. Settings are changed by developers or admins.Settings are static.
2. Store settings in database (like constance). They can be changed by developers, admin, managers, staff and so on. Settings are dynamic.

So your request is to store some static settings in dynamic approach. Env vars solve this problem. I do not see the reason for this feature.

from django-constance.

For anyone who's interested, I was able to implement this on top of Constance pretty easily by storing role-specific values in a pipe-delimited list in standard Constance value, and then subclassing constance.base.Config and overriding __getattr__() to split and return the correct value based on the current role defined in the env.
