Usage

Instead of sending a raw email, with the send_mail django function, you can create a Notification object and program the sending.

Notification creation

from pathlib import Path
from django_notifications.models import Notification, Attachment
from django.core.files import File
from django.utils.timezone import now
from datetime import timedelta

# **Basic creation**
my_instance = "<A random object in the application>"
notification = Notification.objects.create(
    subject="My beautiful email",
    text_body="My text body",
    html_body="""<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
    <meta name="x-apple-disable-message-reformatting">
    <title>My beautiful email</title>
</head>
<body>My HTML body</body>
</html>
    """,
    from_email="foo@example.org",  # Optional
    related_object=my_instance,  # Optional
)

# ** Related objects states management **
# When using FSM, you can provide the states from / to (Optional)
notification.state_from = "active"
notification.state_to = "processing"

# **Attachments management**
# Include file from a raw file
from django.core.files.base import ContentFile

_attachment = Attachment.objects.create(
    notification=notification,
    attachment_file=ContentFile(Path("<my_file>").open("r"), name="my_file.txt")
)

# Including an attachment from a FileField
from django.db.models.fields import FieldFile

assert isinstance(my_instance.file, FieldFile)

_attachment = Attachment.objects.create(
    notification=notification,
    attachment_file=ContentFile(my_instance.file.read(), name=my_instance.file.name)
)

# **Recipients management**
# You can provide users
notification.recipients.set("<User instance>", "<User instance>", ...)

# And / Or provides email address, `\n` separated
notification.email_recipients = "\n".join([
    "foo@example.org", "bar@example.org"
])
notification.save()

# You can set the delayed sending date
notification.delayed_sending_at = now() + timedelta(days=1)
notification.save()

# Or you can send the email immediately
notification.send()
