# Julien Palard - A checkbox to enable the Django debug toolbar Source: [https://mdk.fr/blog/django-debug-toolbar-checkbox.html](https://mdk.fr/blog/django-debug-toolbar-checkbox.html) ## [A checkbox to enable the Django debug toolbar](https://mdk.fr/blog/django-debug-toolbar-checkbox.html) TL;DR : ![](https://git.afpy.org/mdk/debug-toolbar-checkbox/media/branch/main/debug-toolbar.gif) I'm happily using this since a long time on[genepy\.org](https://genepy.org/)and a few other projects, so here am I sharing it\! I started to write a long blog post on how to do this \(200\+ lines\!\) then I had a better idea: I packaged it\! So here's the repo:[https://git\.afpy\.org/mdk/debug\-toolbar\-checkbox](https://git.afpy.org/mdk/debug-toolbar-checkbox)\. And here's the PyPI page:[https://pypi\.org/project/django\-debug\-toolbar\-checkbox/](https://pypi.org/project/django-debug-toolbar-checkbox/)\.
