Get Custom Settings in Django

1. Insert additional settings this way...

In settings.py, or settings/development.py, can insert whatever data structure...

RESOURCE_CREDENTIALS = {
    'client': {
        'USERNAME': 'root',
        'PASSWORD': 'abc123',
    },
    'server': {
        'USERNAME': 'root',
        'PASSWORD': 'ABC123!',
    }
}


2. Then from the app access it this way...

e.g., in views.py...

from django.conf import settings

RESOURCE_CREDENTIALS = getattr(settings, 'RESOURCE_CREDENTIALS')
USERNAME = RESOURCE_CREDENTIALS["client"]["USERNAME"]
PASSWORD = RESOURCE_CREDENTIALS["client"]["PASSWORD"]
