django-processengine 0.2.4

A simple Django app to run celery tasks as processes.

=====
Process Engine
=====

Process Engine is used in conjunction with celery to create async process from
celery tasks via an API


Quick start
-----------

1. Add "processengine" to your INSTALLED_APPS setting like this::

INSTALLED_APPS = [
...
'processengine',
]

2. Include the router URLconf in your project urls.py like this::

from processengine.api import router as process_router
...

urlpatterns = [
url(r'^processengine/', include(process_router.urls)),
...
]

3. Add the PROCESS_MAP settings with your processes and the tasks to run like
so::

PROCESS_MAP = {
'my.process': [
'path.to.taskfile.task',
],
...
}

3. (Optional) Add settings for Slack Notifications. Note that it is an error to add a SLACK_WEBHOOK setting without also having the other settings below present.::
SLACK_WEBHOOK = "https://hooks.slack.com/services/T051CQH14/VWVRAAFA5/lPz2y84gM0JUoVllBow0Glcx"
SLACK_PROCESS_CHANNEL = "#Processes"
SLACK_PROCESS_USERNAME = "Someuser"
SLACK_PROCESS_EMOJI = ":ghost:"
SERVICE_NAME = "Someservice"

4. Run `python manage.py migrate` to create the processengine models.

5. to create a process run a POST to http://127.0.0.1:8000/processengine/process/
with the following data::

data = {
name: "my.process", # This is the name of your process set in PROCESS_MAP variable
context: {
"name": "value" # This is the data that you pass through to your task
}
}

Note: Your tasks need to conform to the pattern of json in and json out
