django-whistle

Django Whistle is a Django app that provides a simple way to send notifications via different channels. Currently supports web, push, email channels.

Basic Usage

1. Installation: Install Django Whistle using pip:

pip install django-whistle

2. Configuration in settings: Add 'whistle' to your INSTALLED_APPS in the Django project settings:

# settings.py

INSTALLED_APPS = [
   # ...
   'whistle',
]

Configuration

Customize Django Whistle by configuring settings in your project's settings.py:

Basics

Setup events and channels for notifications like this: Pro tip, you can use TextChoices for events.

 # settings.py

WHISTLE_CHANNELS = ['web', 'push', 'email']
WHISTLE_NOTIFICATION_EVENTS = (
    ('NAME_OF_EVENT', gettext_lazy('Object %(object)r was updated')
)

### Custom Notification Manager/Handlers

You can ovverride the logic of sending notifications by creating custom manager or handler. Handler is for general
availability of event/channel, and managers is for defining the behaviour. For example, you can use it to customize
emails, add context to emails, or for whatever you miss in the default implementation.

```python
# settings.py

WHISTLE_EMAIL_MANAGER_CLASS = "bidding.notifications.managers.CustomEmailManager"
WHISTLE_NOTIFICATION_MANAGER_CLASS = (
    "bidding.notifications.managers.CustomNotificationManager"
)
WHISTLE_AVAILABILITY_HANDLER = "bidding.notifications.handlers.availability_handler"

Asynchronous Notifications

You can send notifications asynchronously using queues.

# settings.py

WHISTLE_REDIS_QUEUE = None
WHISTLE_USE_RQ = False
RQ_QUEUES = None
WHISTLE_CACHE_TIMEOUT = None  # infinite
