Defining default values for some configuration parameters.

Thanks for answering! This is what I was looking for! 👍

@vladcalin settings is a dict like object, so when a default value is needed we can use get

I am using the following approach.

print(settings.MONGODB_HOST)
print(settings.MONGODB_PORT)
print(settings.MONGODB_DATABASE)

print(settings.get('MONGODB_USE_SSL', default=False))
print(settings.get('MONGODB_USERNAME'))   # default is None
print(settings.get('MONGODB_PASSWORD'))

But if you want to define default values, another way would be using the global namespace DYNACONF

DYNACONF:
    MONGODB_USE_SSL: false
    MONGODB_USERNAME: null
    MONGODB_PASSWORD: null

DEVEL:
  MONGODB_DATABASE: devel
  MONGODB_HOST: localhost
  MONGODB_PORT: 27000

PRODUCTION:
  MONGODB_DATABASE: production_stuff
  MONGODB_HOST: mongodb.example.com
  MONGODB_PORT: 10980
  MONGODB_USERNAME: efe6398127928f1b2e9ef3207fb82663
  MONGODB_PASSWORD: 1f048e5fb80c559a4ab4c6e79d940708

In that way when the value is not found in the specific namespace it is taken from the global.

settings.namespace('devel')

# taken from DEVEL:
print(settings.MONGODB_HOST)  
print(settings.MONGODB_PORT)
print(settings.MONGODB_DATABASE)

# taken from DYNACONF: (the global namespace)
print(settings.MONGODB_USE_SSL)
print(settings.MONGODB_USERNAME)
print(settings.MONGODB_PASSWORD)
