Merging of app settings¶

AlekSIS provides features to merge app settings into main settings.py.

Currently mergable settings¶

INSTALLED_APPS

DATABASES

YARN_INSTALLED_APPS

ANY_JS

If you want to add another database for your AlekSIS app, you have to add the following into your settings.py:

DATABASES = {
    "database": {
        "ENGINE": "django.db.backends.postgresql",
        "NAME": "database",
        "USER": "database",
        "PASSWORD": "Y0urV3ryR4nd0mP4ssw0rd",
        "HOST": "127.0.0.1",
        "PORT": 5432,
    }

If you install new apps and want to configure these, or need some other settings you can easily add settings to your settings.py. Only settings that does not exist in the main settings.py will be respected.
