Exposing settings in JavaScript

Each Django project has its configuration set in the settings.py settings file, or in config/base.py as described in the recipe Configuring settings for development, testing, staging, and production environments in Chapter 1, Getting Started with Django 2.0. Some of these configuration values may well be useful for functionality in the browser, and so they will also need to be set in JavaScript. As we want a single location to define our project settings and we don't want to repeat the process when setting the configuration for the JavaScript values, it is good practice to include a dynamically generated configuration file in the base template. In this recipe, we will see how to do that.
