django-bulk-hooks 0.1.238

Hook-style hooks for Django bulk operations like bulk_create and bulk_update.

django-bulk-hooks

⚡ Bulk hooks for Django bulk operations and individual model lifecycle events.

django-bulk-hooks brings a declarative, hook-like experience to Django's bulk_create, bulk_update, and bulk_delete — including support for BEFORE_ and AFTER_ hooks, conditions, batching, and transactional safety. It also provides comprehensive lifecycle hooks for individual model operations.

✨ Features

• Declarative hook system: @hook(AFTER_UPDATE, condition=...)
• BEFORE/AFTER hooks for create, update, delete
• Hook-aware manager that wraps Django's bulk_ operations
• NEW: HookModelMixin for individual model lifecycle events
• Hook chaining, hook deduplication, and atomicity
• Class-based hook handlers with DI support
• Support for both bulk and individual model operations

🚀 Quickstart

pip install django-bulk-hooks

Define Your Model

from django.db import models
from django_bulk_hooks.models import HookModelMixin

class Account(HookModelMixin):
    balance = models.DecimalField(max_digits=10, decimal_places=2)
    # The HookModelMixin automatically provides BulkHookManager

Create a Hook Handler

from django_bulk_hooks import hook, AFTER_UPDATE, Hook
from django_bulk_hooks.conditions import WhenFieldHasChanged
from .models import Account

class AccountHooks(Hook):
    @hook(AFTER_UPDATE, model=Account, condition=WhenFieldHasChanged("balance"))
    def log_balance_change(self, new_records, old_records):
        print("Accounts updated:", [a.pk for a in new_records])
    
    @hook(BEFORE_CREATE, model=Account)
    def before_create(self, new_records, old_records):
        for account in new_records:
            if account.balance < 0:
                raise ValueError("Account cannot have negative balance")
    
    @hook(AFTER_DELETE, model=Account)
    def after_delete(self, new_records, old_records):
        print("Accounts deleted:", [a.pk for a in old_records])

🛠 Supported Hook Events

• BEFORE_CREATE, AFTER_CREATE
• BEFORE_UPDATE, AFTER_UPDATE
• BEFORE_DELETE, AFTER_DELETE

🔄 Lifecycle Events

Individual Model Operations

The HookModelMixin automatically triggers hooks for individual model operations:

# These will trigger BEFORE_CREATE and AFTER_CREATE hooks
account = Account.objects.create(balance=100.00)
account.save()  # for new instances

# These will trigger BEFORE_UPDATE and AFTER_UPDATE hooks
account.balance = 200.00
account.save()  # for existing instances

# This will trigger BEFORE_DELETE and AFTER_DELETE hooks
account.delete()

Bulk Operations

Bulk operations also trigger the same hooks:

# Bulk create - triggers BEFORE_CREATE and AFTER_CREATE hooks
accounts = [
    Account(balance=100.00),
    Account(balance=200.00),
]
Account.objects.bulk_create(accounts)

# Bulk update - triggers BEFORE_UPDATE and AFTER_UPDATE hooks
for account in accounts:
    account.balance *= 1.1
Account.objects.bulk_update(accounts, ['balance'])

# Bulk delete - triggers BEFORE_DELETE and AFTER_DELETE hooks
Account.objects.bulk_delete(accounts)

Queryset Operations

Queryset operations are also supported:

# Queryset update - triggers BEFORE_UPDATE and AFTER_UPDATE hooks
Account.objects.update(balance=0.00)

# Queryset delete - triggers BEFORE_DELETE and AFTER_DELETE hooks
Account.objects.delete()

Subquery Support in Updates

When using Subquery objects in update operations, the computed values are automatically available in hooks. The system efficiently refreshes all instances in bulk for optimal performance:

from django.db.models import Subquery, OuterRef, Sum

def aggregate_revenue_by_ids(self, ids: Iterable[int]) -> int:
    return self.find_by_ids(ids).update(
        revenue=Subquery(
            FinancialTransaction.objects.filter(daily_financial_aggregate_id=OuterRef("pk"))
            .filter(is_revenue=True)
            .values("daily_financial_aggregate_id")
            .annotate(revenue_sum=Sum("amount"))
            .values("revenue_sum")[:1],
        ),
    )

# In your hooks, you can now access the computed revenue value:
class FinancialAggregateHooks(Hook):
    @hook(AFTER_UPDATE, model=DailyFinancialAggregate)
    def log_revenue_update(self, new_records, old_records):
        for new_record in new_records:
            # This will now contain the computed value, not the Subquery object
            print(f"Updated revenue: {new_record.revenue}")

# Bulk operations are optimized for performance:
def bulk_aggregate_revenue(self, ids: Iterable[int]) -> int:
    # This will efficiently refresh all instances in a single query
    return self.filter(id__in=ids).update(
        revenue=Subquery(
            FinancialTransaction.objects.filter(daily_financial_aggregate_id=OuterRef("pk"))
            .filter(is_revenue=True)
            .values("daily_financial_aggregate_id")
            .annotate(revenue_sum=Sum("amount"))
            .values("revenue_sum")[:1],
        ),
    )

🧠 Why?

Django's bulk_ methods bypass signals and save(). This package fills that gap with:

• Hooks that behave consistently across creates/updates/deletes
• NEW: Individual model lifecycle hooks that work with save() and delete()
• Scalable performance via chunking (default 200)
• Support for @hook decorators and centralized hook classes
• NEW: Automatic hook triggering for admin operations and other Django features
• NEW: Proper ordering guarantees for old/new record pairing in hooks (Salesforce-like behavior)

📦 Usage Examples

Individual Model Operations

# These automatically trigger hooks
account = Account.objects.create(balance=100.00)
account.balance = 200.00
account.save()
account.delete()

Bulk Operations

# These also trigger hooks
Account.objects.bulk_create(accounts)
Account.objects.bulk_update(accounts, ['balance'])
Account.objects.bulk_delete(accounts)

Advanced Hook Usage

class AdvancedAccountHooks(Hook):
    @hook(BEFORE_UPDATE, model=Account, condition=WhenFieldHasChanged("balance"))
    def validate_balance_change(self, new_records, old_records):
        for new_account, old_account in zip(new_records, old_records):
            if new_account.balance < 0 and old_account.balance >= 0:
                raise ValueError("Cannot set negative balance")
    
    @hook(AFTER_CREATE, model=Account)
    def send_welcome_email(self, new_records, old_records):
        for account in new_records:
            # Send welcome email logic here
            pass

Salesforce-like Ordering Guarantees

The system ensures that old_records and new_records are always properly paired, regardless of the order in which you pass objects to bulk operations:

class LoanAccountHooks(Hook):
    @hook(BEFORE_UPDATE, model=LoanAccount)
    def validate_account_number(self, new_records, old_records):
        # old_records[i] always corresponds to new_records[i]
        for new_account, old_account in zip(new_records, old_records):
            if old_account.account_number != new_account.account_number:
                raise ValidationError("Account number cannot be changed")

# This works correctly even with reordered objects:
accounts = [account1, account2, account3]  # IDs: 1, 2, 3
reordered = [account3, account1, account2]  # IDs: 3, 1, 2

# The hook will still receive properly paired old/new records
LoanAccount.objects.bulk_update(reordered, ['balance'])

🧩 Integration with Other Managers

You can extend from BulkHookManager to work with other manager classes. The manager uses a cooperative approach that dynamically injects bulk hook functionality into any queryset, ensuring compatibility with other managers.

from django_bulk_hooks.manager import BulkHookManager
from queryable_properties.managers import QueryablePropertiesManager

class MyManager(BulkHookManager, QueryablePropertiesManager):
    pass

This approach uses the industry-standard injection pattern, similar to how QueryablePropertiesManager works, ensuring both functionalities work seamlessly together without any framework-specific knowledge.
