Description

Django Action Triggers is a Django application that allows you to trigger actions based on changes in your database. These actions can include sending a request to a webhook or adding a message to a message broker such as Kafka or RabbitMQ.

This application is highly flexible and can be configured via code or through the Django admin interface.

Key Features

• Database-Driven Triggers: Automatically trigger actions based on model events (e.g., save, delete).
• Webhook Integration: Send HTTP requests to external services when triggers are activated.
• Message Broker Integration: Send messages to messaging brokers like Kafka and RabbitMQ.
• Extensible: Easily extend to support custom triggers and actions.
• Secure Dynamic Configuration: Dynamically set values at runtime for secure and flexible configuration.

Installation

To install the package, run the following command:

pip install django-action-triggers

Then, add the following to your INSTALLED_APPS in your Django settings:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    'action_triggers',
    ...
]

If you plan on using the API, add the following to your urls.py:

from django.urls import path, include

urlpatterns = [
    ...
    path('api/action-triggers/', include('action_triggers.urls')),
    ...
]

Usage

Once installed, you can create triggers and actions using the Django admin interface or programmatically through the API.

For detailed usage instructions, configuration options, and examples, please refer to the official documentation.

Example Scenarios

Example 1: Webhook Trigger on User Creation/Update/Deletion

Trigger a webhook whenever a User model is created, updated, or deleted:

{
  "config_signals": [
    {"signal": "post_save"},
    {"signal": "post_delete"}
  ],
  "content_types": [
    {
      "app_label": "auth",
      "model_name": "User"
    }
  ],
  "webhooks": [
    {
      "url": "https://my-webhook.com",
      "http_method": "POST",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer {{ myapp.utils.get_token }}"
      }
    }
  ],
  "active": true
}

Example 2: Webhooks and Message Queues on Product and Sale Creation/Update

Trigger multiple webhooks and add messages to queues when Product or Sale models are created or updated:

{
  "config_signals": [
    {"signal": "post_save"}
  ],
  "content_types": [
    {
      "app_label": "myapp",
      "model_name": "Product"
    },
    {
      "app_label": "myapp",
      "model_name": "Sale"
    }
  ],
