Project description
Django-Directmessages
Django-Directmessages is a low-level and easy-to-use Django App to manage simple directmessages. In contrast to other Django Apps for messaging, Django-Directmessages doesn’t use any type of pre-built templates and is concentrated on the programmatic usage.
Django-Directmessage is thought to be used with APIs or small apps, but can be used for any type of messaging. It featues:
Sending of private 1-to-1 messages between users.
Listing unread messages for a given user.
Read a given message
Get all conversation partners/contacted users for a given user
Read a whole conversation between two users.
Requirements
Django >= 1.5 is supported
Installation
pip install django-directmessages
add "directmessages" to INSTALLED_APPS and run python manage.py migrate.
Usage
Import the Message Management API on top of your views.py
from directmessages.apps import Inbox
Send message: Inbox.send_message(from_user, to_user, message)
List all unread messages: Inbox.get_unread_messages(user)
Read a message (and mark as read): Inbox.read_message(message)
Print a message as <user>: <message>: Inbox.read_message_formatted(message)
Print a list of all conversation partners for a user: Inbox.get_conversations(users)
- Get a conversation between two users: Inbox.get_conversation(user1, user2, _limit_, _reversed_, _mark_read_)
Limit (Int: optional): Instead of getting the whole conversation, get the first 50 (depends on reversed)
Reversed (Bool: optional): Usually the ‘limit’-param gives back the first x messages, if you put Reversed to True, limit will give back the x latest messages.
Mark_Read (Bool: optional): Mark all messages in conversation as read
Signals
You can use the following signals to extend the app for your needs
- message_sent:
Gets called as soon as a message is sent. Provides the Message object, the sender and the recipient as params.
- message_read:
Gets called as soon as a message is read: Provides the Message object, the sender and the recipient as params.
