2   Installation

2.1   Requirements

• Python 3.12 or above
• Django 4.2 or newer

2.2   Install

pip install maykin-config-checks

Add maykin_config_checks to the Django INSTALLED_APPS:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    "maykin_config_checks",
    ...
]

3   Usage

3.1   View

To have an API view that returns the results of the performed health checks, add the following to the urlpatterns:

from django.urls import path

from maykin_config_checks.api.views import HealthChecksView

urlpatterns = [
    ...
    path(
        "health-checks",
        HealthChecksView.as_view(
            checks_collector=my_checks_collector_fn
        ),
        name="health-checks",
    ),
]

Where my_checks_collector_fn is a Callable[[], Iterable[HealthCheck]]. It is used to retrieve which health checks should be performed by the view. You can also add the view multiple times to the urlpatters with different checks_collector arguments if you want to have multiple health check views that run different checks.

3.2   Management command

There is also a management command that can be used to run health checks from the CLI.

django-admin config_checks --checks-collector dotted.path.to.my_checks_collector_fn

export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=testapp.settings
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:`pwd`

Then, you can run:

django-admin runserver

5   Running tests

To run the tests without tox, you can do the following (from the root of the repository):

export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=testapp.settings
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:`pwd`
pytest tests
