How to pass a variable from settings.py to a view?

Viewed 27220

I'm getting the project path in my Django app in settings.py using:

PROJECT_PATH = os.path.realpath(os.path.dirname(__file__))

I would like to use the PROJECT_PATH value in other views, such as for locating the path to files in my static path. How can I make this into an accessible variable?

  1. in settings.py add

    DOMAIN = "example.com"
    
  2. views.py

    from django.conf import settings
    
    DOMAIN = settings.DOMAIN
    
  3. lets try to output it:

    print(DOMAIN)
    
    print(type(DOMAIN)
    
  4. output will be:

    example.com
    
    <class 'str'>
