Database

# backend/src/settings.py
DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'mysql.connector.django', 
        'NAME': env_var('DATABASE_NAME', 'incident_prod'),
        'USER': env_var('DATABASE_USER', 'root'),
        'PASSWORD': env_var('DATABASE_PWD', 'root'),
        'HOST': env_var('DATABASE_HOST', 'localhost'),   # Or an IP Address that your DB is hosted on
        'PORT': env_var('DATABASE_PORT', '3306'),
    }
}

Here it first looks for the particular variable value on environment by the method env_var(). When no value found, will use the 2nd parameter as the value.

OR

# backend/.env
DATABASE_HOST=localhost
DATABASE_PORT=3306
DATABASE_USER=root
DATABASE_PWD=toor
DATABASE_NAME=incidents

Google reCaptcha
