Django global query strings allows adding query strings (query params) site-wide
Project description
Django global query strings
Django global query strings allows adding query strings (query params) globally.
The app looks for all the <a> tags in a html content thanks to BeautifulSoup.
There are two ways of using the app. Each way can be used separately or conjointly:
- Using the middleware
GlobalQueryStringsMiddleware - Using the utility function
add_query_strings_to_links
Installation
Install with pip:
pip install django-global-query-strings
Setup
In order to make django-global-query-strings works, you'll need to follow the steps below:
Settings
First, you need to add the app and the middleware to your settings. The middleware is optional depending on your usage:
INSTALLED_APPS = (
'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.messages',
'global_query_strings',
...
)
MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',
'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',
'global_query_strings.middleware.GlobalQueryStringsMiddleware',
...
)
Settings
Here is the list of all the settings with their default values:
GLOBAL_QUERY_STRINGS_IGNORE_URLS = []
GLOBAL_QUERY_STRINGS_IGNORE_RELATIVE_PATHS = False
GLOBAL_QUERY_STRINGS_PARAMS = {}
GLOBAL_QUERY_STRINGS_EXCLUDE_PATHS_LIST = []
GLOBAL_QUERY_STRINGS_IGNORE_URLS
GLOBAL_QUERY_STRINGS_IGNORE_URLS takes a list of domain name or urls e.g.: ["example.com", "https://www.foo.org"]. When the html parser finds those values, the global query strings won't be added to the urls.
GLOBAL_QUERY_STRINGS_IGNORE_RELATIVE_PATHS
GLOBAL_QUERY_STRINGS_IGNORE_RELATIVE_PATHS is a boolean. When set to True, the parser will ignore relative paths.
GLOBAL_QUERY_STRINGS_PARAMS
GLOBAL_QUERY_STRINGS_PARAMS takes a dictionary of global query strings to set e.g.: {"foo": "bar", "lorem": "ipsum"}. The query strings found in GLOBAL_QUERY_STRINGS_PARAMS would be replaced / added to the urls found by the parser.
GLOBAL_QUERY_STRINGS_EXCLUDE_PATHS_LIST
GLOBAL_QUERY_STRINGS_EXCLUDE_PATHS_LIST is a list of paths to exclude that takes place in the middleware only.
All the paths that starts with any elements of the list will bypass the middleware. e.g.: ["/admin"]
Usage
Here is an example of input / output with the following settings:
GLOBAL_QUERY_STRINGS_IGNORE_URLS = ["example.com", "https://www.foo.org"]
GLOBAL_QUERY_STRINGS_IGNORE_RELATIVE_PATHS = True
GLOBAL_QUERY_STRINGS_PARAMS = {"foo": "bar", "lorem": "ipsum"}
Input:
<html lang="en">
<body>
<a href="https://www.foo.org">Lorem Ipsum</a> is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.
<a href="https://foo.org">Lorem Ipsum</a> has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s,
when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.
It has survived not only <a href="https://www.bar.com">five centuries</a>, but also the leap into electronic
typesetting, <a href="/lorem/ipsum">remaining essentially</a> unchanged.
It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of <a href="https://www.bar.com?example=true">Letraset sheets</a>
containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop <a href="https://www.foo.org?foo=ipsum">publishing software</a>
like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Output:
