DjangoEssentials

Join Our Community - Kampus

DjangoEssentials is a Python library designed to streamline and simplify the development of Django applications. This library supports modern software development approaches, such as the repository-service pattern, and provides a more modular structure by preventing code repetition. Additionally, it includes essential features such as model management, data access, and Amazon S3 storage integration.

🚀 Features

1️⃣ Repository-Service Pattern

• BaseRepository: A base repository class that manages CRUD operations for Django models.

• BaseService: A service layer that utilizes repositories to manage business logic and reduce code duplication.

2️⃣ Model Utilities

• TimeBasedStampModel: An abstract model class that automatically tracks creation, update, and deletion timestamps.

3️⃣ Amazon S3 Storage Integration

• MyS3Storage: A custom storage class for handling media files with Amazon S3 in Django applications.

📥 Installation

Install the library using pip:

pip install DjangoEssentials

📌 Usage

1️⃣ Using the Repository-Service Pattern

This pattern separates the data access layer from the business logic layer, making Django applications cleaner and more maintainable.

📌 Model Example

Let’s create a simple Django model using TimeBasedStampModel:

from django.db import models
from djangoessentials import TimeBasedStampModel

class Product(TimeBasedStampModel):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    description = models.TextField()
    price = models.DecimalField(max_digits=10, decimal_places=2)
    stock = models.PositiveIntegerField(default=0)

📌 Repository Layer

The repository interacts with Django models and manages database operations.

from djangoessentials.repository import BaseRepository
from myapp.models import Product

class ProductRepository(BaseRepository[Product]):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(Product)

📌 Service Layer

The service layer uses the repository to manage business logic and reduce code duplication.

from djangoessentials.service import BaseService
from myapp.repositories import ProductRepository

class ProductService(BaseService[ProductRepository]):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(ProductRepository())

    def get_available_products(self):
        return self._repository.filter(stock__gt=0)

📌 Serializer for DRF

To expose this model via an API, let’s create a serializer.

from rest_framework import serializers
from myapp.models import Product

class ProductSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        model = Product
        fields = '__all__'

📌 ViewSet for Django REST Framework

To expose the service through an API, we can use ModelViewSet.

from rest_framework import viewsets
from myapp.services import ProductService
from myapp.serializers import ProductSerializer

class ProductViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
    serializer_class = ProductSerializer
    queryset = ProductService().get_all()
    
    def get_queryset(self):
        """
        Optionally filter the queryset based on stock availability.
        """
        service = ProductService()
        available_only = self.request.query_params.get('available_only', None)
        if available_only:
            return service.get_available_products()
        return service.get_all()

📌 Register the ViewSet in Django’s Router

To enable API endpoints, register the viewset in urls.py.

from django.urls import path, include
from rest_framework.routers import DefaultRouter
from myapp.views import ProductViewSet

router = DefaultRouter()
router.register(r'products', ProductViewSet)

urlpatterns = [
    path('api/', include(router.urls)),
]

2️⃣ Using TimeBasedStampModel

To add automatic created_at, updated_at, and deleted_at fields to your model:

from django.db import models
from djangoessentials import TimeBasedStampModel

class YourModel(TimeBasedStampModel):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    # Add your custom fields here

This model automatically tracks timestamps for each record.

3️⃣ Amazon S3 Storage Integration

To use Amazon S3 as the media storage solution, configure your Django project as follows.

📌 Add to settings.py

import os

USE_S3 = True

if USE_S3:
    AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID = os.getenv("AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID")
    AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = os.getenv("AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY")
    AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME = os.getenv("AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME")
    AWS_S3_CUSTOM_DOMAIN = f'{AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME}.s3.amazonaws.com'
    AWS_S3_OBJECT_PARAMETERS = {'CacheControl': 'max-age=86400'}

    PUBLIC_MEDIA_LOCATION = 'media'
    MEDIA_URL = f'https://{AWS_S3_CUSTOM_DOMAIN}/{PUBLIC_MEDIA_LOCATION}/'
else:
    MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
    MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media')

STATIC_URL = 'static/'
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'staticfiles')
STATICFILES_DIRS = [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static/')]

📌 Use in a Model

from django.db import models
from djangoessentials import MyS3Storage

class MyModel(models.Model):
    document = models.FileField(upload_to='documents/', storage=MyS3Storage)

This setup ensures that files are automatically uploaded to Amazon S3.
