# Quick start

This package features an opinionated configuration management system, focused on combining both secret
and non-secret keys in the same configuration file. The values for secret keys are encrypted and can
be committed to the repo, but since each key is separated on a line-by-line basis, merge conflicts
shouldn't cause much trouble.

This package is intended to be used with a django project, though it's currently not making use
of any Django specific features.

Needless to say, this is in very early development.

## Install

`pip install django-configuration-management`

## cli

### Generate a key

In a terminal, enter:

```bash
generate_key
```

Follow the instructions printed to the console. For example, if you're setting up a production configuration,
make a file called `.env-production` in the root of your django project. Inside of it, save the key generated
above to a variable called `ENC_KEY`.

### Upsert a secret

To insert or update a secret, enter:

```bash
upsert_secret --environment <your environment>
```

And follow the prompts.

### Insert a non-secret

Simply open the .yml file for the generated stage (the naming scheme is `<environment>-config.yaml`),
and insert a row. It should look like this:

```yaml
USERNAME: whatsup1994 # non-secret
PASSWORD:
  secret: true
  value: gAAAAABf2_kxEgWXQzJ0SlRmDy6lbXe-d3dWD68W4aM26yiA0EO2_4pA5FhV96uMWCLwpt7N6Y32zXQq-gTJ3sREbh1GOvNh5Q==
```

### Manually editing the file

You can change the values of non-secrets by hand, as well as the keynames, but clearly you must
not change the value of secrets by hand, as they're encrypted. Changing the order of any of the
keys is perfectly fine.

### Print secrets to the console

To show the decrypted values of all the secrets in the console, enter:

```bash
reveal_secrets --environment <your-environment>
```

## Extras

In the root of your django project, you can create a file called `config-required.json`.
This file should spell out which config keys your django project can have before firing up.

It can be a list or a dictionary. This is useful for validating the presence of your
keys on start-up.

## Settings

There are two ways to use this library, if you don't mind a little magic, you can
simply inject the config by importing the following function in your django settings file,
and passing in the current module.

```python
# settings.py
from django_configuration_management import inject_config

# development is the environment name
inject_config("development", sys.modules[__name__])
```

See the example project for a demonstration of this.

If you want more verbosity, you can import the following function which will return
the config as a normalized dictionary that's flat and has all secrets decrypted.

```python
# settings.py
from django_configuration_management import get_config

# config = {"USERNAME": "helloworld", "PASSWORD": "im decrypted}
config = get_config

USERNAME = config["USERNAME"]
# ...
```

This project uses [poetry](https://python-poetry.org/) for dependency management
and packaging.
