Installation

Usage

1. Configure settings

If you have already configured SMTP EMAIL SETTINGS in django settings then can ignore this step. Else add a NOTIFIER dict in your settings like this

NOTIFIER = {
    "EMAIL": {
        "default": {
            "HOST": "localhost",
            "PORT": 587,
            "USE_TLS": True,
            "USE_SSL": False,
            "USER": "root@localhost",
            "FROM": "Root <root@localhost>",
            "PASSWORD": "********",
            "CLIENT": "magic_notifier.email_clients.django_email.DjangoEmailClient",
        }
    },
    "USER_FROM_WS_TOKEN_FUNCTION": 'magic_notifier.utils.get_user_from_ws_token'
}

2. Create templates

Create a folder named notifier in one of app's templates dir. In this folder create another folder named my_template then create your base templates in this folder. Example:

app_name/templates/notifier/my_template/email.html

{% extends "base_notifier/email.html" %}
{% block content %}
<tr>
    <td><p>Hello {{ user.email }}
    </td>
</tr>
{% endblock %}

app_name/templates/notifier/my_template/email.txt

{% extends "base_notifier/email.txt" %}
{% block content %}
Hello {{ user.email }}
{% endblock %}

As you can see, the user to whom the notification goes is automatically added in the template's context. To avoid any clash don't send the key 'user' in the context of the notifiy() function presented below.

Note that it is DMN (Django Magic Notifier) that has the base_notifier template.

3. Send notifications

To send a notification via email do

    from magic_notifier.notifier import notify

    # send an email from direct string
    user = User(email="testuser@localhost", username="testuser")
    subject = "Test magic notifier"
    notify(["email"], subject, [user], final_message="Nice if you get this")

    # send an email from a template
    user = User(email="testuser@localhost", username="testuser")
    subject = "Test magic notifier"
    notify(["email"], subject, [user], template='hello')
    
    # send a sms from a template
    user = User(email="testuser@localhost", username="testuser")
    subject = "Test magic notifier"
    notify(["sms"], subject, [user], template='hello')
    
    # send a notification via email and sms from a template
    user = User(email="testuser@localhost", username="testuser")
    subject = "Test magic notifier"
    notify(["email", "sms"], subject, [user], template='hello')
