Use an URL to configure email backend settings in your Django Application.
Project description
This utility is based on dj-database-url by Kenneth Reitz.
It allows to utilize the 12factor inspired environments variable to configure the email backend in a Django application.
Usage
Import the package in settings.py:
import dj_email_urlFetch your email configuration values. The default option is fetch them from EMAIL_URL environment variable:
email_config = dj_email_url.config()Other option is parse an arbitrary email URL:
email_config = dj_email_url.parse('smtp://...')Finally, it is necessary to assign values to settings:
EMAIL_FILE_PATH = email_config['EMAIL_FILE_PATH']
EMAIL_HOST_USER = email_config['EMAIL_HOST_USER']
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = email_config['EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD']
EMAIL_HOST = email_config['EMAIL_HOST']
EMAIL_PORT = email_config['EMAIL_PORT']
EMAIL_BACKEND = email_config['EMAIL_BACKEND']
EMAIL_USE_TLS = email_config['EMAIL_USE_TLS']Alternatively, it is possible to use this less explicit shortcut:
vars().update(email_config)Supported backends
Currently, it supports:
SMTP backend (smtp and smtps),
console backend (console),
file backend (file),
in-memory backend (memory),
and dummy backend (dummy).
The scheme smtps indicates to use TLS connections, that is to set EMAIL_USE_TLS to True.
The file backend is the only one which needs a path. The url path is store in EMAIL_FILE_PATH key.
