This utility is based on dj-database-url by Kenneth Reitz.

It allows to utilize the
`12factor <http://www.12factor.net/backing-services>`_ inspired
environments variable to configure the email backend in a Django application.

Usage
=====

Import the package in ``settings.py``:

.. code:: python

import dj_email_url


Fetch your email configuration values. The default option is fetch them from
``EMAIL_URL`` environment variable:

.. code:: python

email_config = dj_email_url.config()

Other option is parse an arbitrary email URL:

.. code:: python

email_config = dj_email_url.parse('smtp://...')


Finally, it is **necessary** to assign values to settings:

.. code:: python

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:

.. code:: python

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:

.. code:: pycon

>>> 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.
