# Settings

Below are all settings for `django-pgtrigger`.

## PGTRIGGER_INSTALL_ON_MIGRATE

If `True`, `python manage.py pgtrigger install` will run automatically after `python manage.py migrate`. The trigger install command will use the same database as the migrate command. This setting is unnecessary if `PGTRIGGER_MIGRATIONS` is `True`.

Default `False`

Warning

There are known issues with this approach, such as having trigger installation issues when reversing migrations. This is a secondary way to install triggers if migrations or model meta options aren't desired.

## PGTRIGGER_MIGRATIONS

If `False`, triggers will not be added to migrations when running `python manage.py makemigrations`. Triggers will need to be installed manually or with `settings.PGTRIGGER_INSTALL_ON_MIGRATE`.

Default `True`

## PGTRIGGER_MODEL_META

If `False`, triggers cannot be specified in the `triggers` attribute of model `Meta` options. Migrations will also be disabled. Triggers will need to be registered to models with pgtrigger.register and installed manually or with `settings.PGTRIGGER_INSTALL_ON_MIGRATE`.

Default `True`

Warning

Turning this off will result in an error if a third-party application declares triggers in model `Meta`.

## PGTRIGGER_PRUNE_ON_INSTALL

If `True`, running `python manage.py install` or `python manage.py uninstall` with no arguments will run `python manage.py prune` to prune orphaned triggers.

Default `True`

## PGTRIGGER_SCHEMA

The schema under which global database objects are stored, such as the Postgres function used for ignoring triggers.

Default `public`

## PGTRIGGER_SCHEMA_EDITOR

If `False`, the schema editor for migrations will not be patched. Fields that are used in trigger conditions will result in migration failures if their types are changed unless the triggers are manually dropped ahead of time in the migration.

Default `True`
