Usage

---

Just go to your admin dashboard, in the Bongpy section, add configurations.

Config Type

It supports the following types of configurations. You need to set the correct type for your value otherwise value will be treated as string value and will not be processed into actual data type.

• String
• Number
• Boolean
• Json
• Date
• Datetime
• Time

String

By default every value will be string.

Number

Number includes integers as well as decimal numbers.

Boolean

For boolean value, see below chart.

True	False
t	f
T	F
y	n
Y	N
yes	no
YES	NO
true	false
True	False
TRUE	FALSE
on	off
On	Off
ON	OFF
1	0

Json

A valid json is required when the config type is selected as Json.

Date

Date should be in YYYY-MM-DD format. It will be converted to datetime.date object.

Datetime

Datetime should be in YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS format and it will be converted to datetime object.

Time

Time should be in HH:MM:SS format and it will be converted to datetime.time object.

Usage in code

In your code, you can use it like this.

from bongpy.configs import configs

print(configs.KEY_OF_YOUR_CONFIGURATION)

At any time, when you will change your config value or add a new value, it will be available to use in you code.

Grouping

You can group configurations. Configurations of a particular group can be accessed like this.

from bongpy.configs import configs

print(configs.grouped(group='NAME_OF_GROUP'))

Default value

It is quite possible when you are using a configuration in your code and you have not added that configuration yet. In this case it is best to define a default value of that configuration in your settings so that that default value will be used instead of an error. To define default value of your configurations, define BONGPY_DEFAULTS in settings like this

BONGPY_DEFAULTS = {
    "KEY_1": True,
    "KEY_2": 2000
}

When this key will be added, that value will be used instead of this default value. These configurations will be loaded in database automatically.
