SIGNALS AND APPCONFIG DJUGL October 6, 2015
@anabalica
Let’s get schwifty with !
from django.db.models.signals import post_save from django.dispatch import receiver from myapp.models
import MyModel @receiver(post_save, sender=MyModel) def my_handler(sender, **kwargs): pass # my_app/signals.py
from django.db.models.signals import pre_save from django.dispatch import receiver from myapp.models
import MyModel @receiver(pre_save, sender=MyModel) def my_handler(sender, **kwargs): pass # my_app/signals.py
Django<1.7? make sure that the module it’s in gets imported
early on so that the signal handling gets registered before any signals need to be sent
Django<1.7? make sure that the module it’s in gets imported
early on so that the signal handling gets registered before any signals need to be sent
Django<1.7? this makes your app’s models.py a good place to
put registration of signal handlers
from django.db import models from my_app import signals class MyModel(models.Model):
pass # my_app/models.py
None
CIRCULAR IMPORTS
from my_app import signals # my_app/__init__.py
None
AppConfig to the rescue
AppConfig is a registry of installed apps and available models
>>> from django.apps import apps >>> apps.get_app_config('admin').verbose_name 'Admin'
from django.apps import AppConfig class RickNMortyConfig(AppConfig): name = "rick_n_morty" verbose_name
= "Rick and Morty" # my_app/apps.py
INSTALLED_APPS = [ "my_app.apps.RickNMortyConfig", # ... ] # settings.py or
default_app_config = "my_app.apps.RickNMortyConfig" # my_app/__init__.py
None
from django.apps import AppConfig class RickNMortyConfig(AppConfig): name = "rick_n_morty" verbose_name
= "Rick and Morty” def ready(self): from my_app import signals # my_app/apps.py
• Loads the settings • Sets up logging • Initializes
the application registry
• Imports each item from INSTALLED_APPS • Imports the models
submodule if exists • Runs the ready() method of each app config
None
