Django auth DB router.

Simple database router that helps to split your main database and authentication database. This may be necessary, for example, when splitting a project into microservices.

Quickstart

1. Add django_auth_db_router to your INSTALLED_APPS setting like this:

   INSTALLED_APPS = [
       ...
       'django_auth_db_router',
       ...
   ]
   

2. Add DATABASE_ROUTERS setting in settings.py file:

   DATABASE_ROUTERS = [
       'django_auth_db_router.routers.AuthRouter',
   ]
   

3. Add auth_db section to DATABASES:

   DATABASES = {
       'default': {
           'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
           'NAME': BASE_DIR / 'default.sqlite3',
       },
       'auth_db': {
           'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
           'NAME': BASE_DIR / 'auth.sqlite3',
       },
   }
   

4. Finally, add AUTH_DB setting:

   DATABASES = {
       'default': {
           'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
           'NAME': BASE_DIR / 'default.sqlite3',
       },
       'auth_db': {
           'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
           'NAME': BASE_DIR / 'auth.sqlite3',
       },
   }
   
   AUTH_DB = 'auth_db'
   

   Without this setting router will use default db connection.
