TASKS = {

        "BACKEND": "django_tasks_pubsub.PubSubBackend",
    }
}

Authentication

Check out the Google Cloud Pub/Sub documentation for more information.

In short the the client works well within a Google Cloud environment.

URLs

In order to receive push messages from Google Cloud Pub/Sub, you need to register the endpoint in your project's urls.py:

from django.urls import path, include

urlpatterns = [
    ...
    path("", include("django_tasks_pubsub.urls")),
]

This will expose the endpoint at /pubsub/push/. You should configure your Google Cloud Pub/Sub push subscription to use this endpoint (e.g. https://your-domain.com/pubsub/push/).

Usage

Configure Django task functions

from django.tasks import task

@task
def send_email(user_id):
    print(f"Sending email to {user_id}")

Configure specifics for the task

Specify a topic

To specify a topic, you need to decorate the task with @task and @pubsub_task(topic="topic-name") in this order:

from django.tasks import task
from django_tasks_pubsub import pubsub_task


@task
@pubsub_task(topic="images")
def function(image_id):
    ...
