Use an URL to configure email backend settings in your Django Application.

Project description

https://badge.fury.io/py/dj-email-url.svg

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_url

Fetch 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']
EMAIL_USE_SSL = email_config['EMAIL_USE_SSL']

Alternatively, it is possible to use this less explicit shortcut:

vars().update(email_config)

Supported backends

Currently, it supports:

  • SMTP backend (smtp and smtps for TLS),

  • console backend (console),

  • file backend (file),

  • in-memory backend (memory),

  • and dummy backend (dummy).

SMTP backend

The scheme smtps indicates to use TLS connections, that is to set EMAIL_USE_TLS to True.

It is possible to specify SSL using a ssl=True as a query parameter:

>>> url = 'smtp://user@domain.com:pass@smtp.example.com:465/?ssl=True'
>>> url = dj_email_url.parse(url)
>>> assert url['EMAIL_USE_SSL'] is True

File backend

The file backend is the only one which needs a path. The url path is store in EMAIL_FILE_PATH key.
