Basics
Setup events and channels for notifications like this: Pro tip, you can use TextChoices for events.
# settings.py
WHISTLE_CHANNELS = ['web', 'push', 'email']
WHISTLE_NOTIFICATION_EVENTS = (
('NAME_OF_EVENT', gettext_lazy('Object %(object)r was updated')
)
### Custom Notification Manager/Handlers
You can ovverride the logic of sending notifications by creating custom manager or handler. Handler is for general
availability of event/channel, and managers is for defining the behaviour. For example, you can use it to customize
emails, add context to emails, or for whatever you miss in the default implementation.
```python
# settings.py
WHISTLE_EMAIL_MANAGER_CLASS = "bidding.notifications.managers.CustomEmailManager"
WHISTLE_NOTIFICATION_MANAGER_CLASS = (
"bidding.notifications.managers.CustomNotificationManager"
)
WHISTLE_AVAILABILITY_HANDLER = "bidding.notifications.handlers.availability_handler"
Asynchronous Notifications
You can send notifications asynchronously using queues.
# settings.py
WHISTLE_REDIS_QUEUE = None
WHISTLE_USE_RQ = False
RQ_QUEUES = None
WHISTLE_CACHE_TIMEOUT = None # infinite
