dynaconf-config

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enforces best practices for managing application configuration using Dynaconf, addressing issues like hardcoded values, inconsistent type handling, and difficulty with environment-specific overrides. It ensures your application settings are flexible, type-safe, and securely managed across different environments.

Core Features & Use Cases

• settings.toml & Type Casting: Guides on defining configuration in settings.toml with explicit type casting directives (@env, @int, @bool, @path).
• Environment Overrides: Provides patterns for defining environment-specific settings (e.g., [dev_local], [production]) to easily switch configurations.
• Environment Variable Integration: Emphasizes using @env VAR|default to load settings from environment variables with sensible fallbacks.
• Secrets Management: Guides on keeping sensitive information in .secrets.toml (gitignored) for secure handling.
• Use Case: A developer needs to configure API URLs and feature flags for different deployment environments (development, staging, production). This skill helps them use Dynaconf to define api_base_url with @env for environment variable overrides and feature_enabled with @bool for type-safe boolean flags.

Quick Start

Define an api_base_url setting in settings.toml that can be overridden by an environment variable and defaults to a local URL.
