Configuring Waffle

There are a few global settings you can define to adjust Waffle’s behavior.

WAFFLE_COOKIE
The format for the cookies Waffle sets. Must contain %s. Defaults to dwf_%s.
WAFFLE_TEST_COOKIE
The format for the cookies Waffle sets for user testing. Must contain %s. Defaults to dwft_%s.
WAFFLE_FLAG_DEFAULT
When a Flag is undefined in the database, Waffle considers it False. Set this to True to make Waffle consider undefined flags True. Defaults to False.
WAFFLE_FLAG_MODEL
The model that will be use to keep track of flags. Defaults to waffle.Flag which allows user- and group-based flags. Can be swapped for a different Flag model that allows flagging based on other things, such as an organization or a company that a user belongs to. Analogous functionality to Django’s extendable User models. Needs to be set at the start of a project, as the Django migrations framework does not support changing swappable models after the initial migration.
WAFFLE_SWITCH_DEFAULT
When a Switch is undefined in the database, Waffle considers it False. Set this to True to make Waffle consider undefined switches True. Defaults to False.
WAFFLE_SAMPLE_DEFAULT
When a Sample is undefined in the database, Waffle considers it False. Set this to True to make Waffle consider undefined samples True. Defaults to False.
WAFFLE_MAX_AGE
How long should Waffle cookies last? (Integer, in seconds.) Defaults to 2529000 (one month).
WAFFLE_READ_FROM_WRITE_DB
When calling *_is_active methods, Waffle attempts to retrieve a cached version of the object, falling back to the database if necessary. In high- traffic scenarios with multiple databases (e.g. a primary being replicated to a readonly pool) this introduces the risk that a stale version of the object might be cached if one of these methods is called immediately after an update. Set this to True to ensure Waffle always reads Flags, Switches, and Samples from the DB configured for writes on cache misses.
WAFFLE_OVERRIDE
Allow all Flags to be controlled via the querystring (to allow e.g. Selenium to control their behavior). Defaults to False.
WAFFLE_SECURE
Whether to set the secure flag on cookies. Defaults to True.
WAFFLE_CACHE_PREFIX
Waffle tries to store objects in cache pretty aggressively. If you ever upgrade and change the shape of the objects (for example upgrading from <0.7.5 to >0.7.5) you’ll want to set this to something other than 'waffle:'. If you’re using memcached this should be ASCII only, as that’s all it supports.
WAFFLE_CACHE_NAME
Which cache to use. Defaults to 'default'.
WAFFLE_CREATE_MISSING_FLAGS
If Waffle encounters a reference to a flag that is not in the database, should Waffle create the flag? If true new flags are created and set to the value of WAFFLE_FLAG_DEFAULT Defaults to False.
WAFFLE_CREATE_MISSING_SWITCHES
If Waffle encounters a reference to a switch that is not in the database, should Waffle create the switch? If true new switches are created and set to the value of WAFFLE_SWITCH_DEFAULT Defaults to False.
WAFFLE_CREATE_MISSING_SAMPLES
If Waffle encounters a reference to a sample that is not in the database, should Waffle create the sample? If true new samples are created and set to the value of WAFFLE_SAMPLE_DEFAULT Defaults to False.
WAFFLE_LOG_MISSING_FLAGS
If Waffle encounters a reference to a flag that is not in the database, should Waffle log it? The value describes the level of wanted warning, possible values are all levels know by pythons default logging, e.g. logging.WARNING. Defaults to None.
WAFFLE_LOG_MISSING_SWITCHES
If Waffle encounters a reference to a switch that is not in the database, should Waffle log it? The value describes the level of wanted warning, possible values are all levels know by pythons default logging, e.g. logging.WARNING. Defaults to None.
WAFFLE_LOG_MISSING_SAMPLES
If Waffle encounters a reference to a sample that is not in the database,, should Waffle log it? The value describes the level of wanted warning, possible values are all levels know by pythons default logging, e.g. logging.WARNING. Defaults to None.
WAFFLE_ENABLE_ADMIN_PAGES
Enables the default admin pages for Waffle models. This is True by default, but can be disabled to override or customize the pages.
