## Configuration Example

**Before: settings.py**
```python
# 200+ lines of untyped configuration
DEBUG = os.getenv('DEBUG', 'False') == 'True'  # ❌ Bug waiting to happen
DATABASE_PORT = os.getenv('DB_PORT', '5432')   # ❌ Still a string!
```

**After: Django-CFG**
```python
from django_cfg import DjangoConfig, DatabaseConfig

class MyConfig(DjangoConfig):
    project_name: str = "My App"
    debug: bool = False  # ✅ Type-safe

    databases: dict[str, DatabaseConfig] = {
        "default": DatabaseConfig(
            name="${DB_NAME}",  # ✅ Validated at startup
            port=5432,          # ✅ Correct type
        )
    }
```

**Full IDE autocomplete** • **Startup validation** • **Zero runtime errors**
