Project description

PyPI version Build Status

DRF Model Pusher

Easy to use class mixins for Django Rest Framework and Pusher to keep your API realtime.

Installation

Download from PyPI:

pip install drf_model_pusher

Configuration

Settings Config

In your settings set your Pusher App Id and credentials, the cluster is optional

PUSHER_APP_ID=""  
PUSHER_KEY=""  
PUSHER_SECRET=""
PUSHER_CLUSTER=""  

Update Installed Apps

Add drf_model_pusher to your INSTALLED_APPS:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    "...",
    "drf_model_pusher",
]

Implement Pusher Backends

Define some PusherBackends for your models and serializers in a pusher_backends.py file. The PusherBackend class just needs to define a serializer_class attribute which inherits from ModelSerializer.

# example/pusher_backends.py

from django.db.models import Model
from rest_framework.serializers import ModelSerializer
from drf_model_pusher.backends import PusherBackend, PrivatePusherBackend

class MyModel(Model):
    pass

class MyModelSerializer(ModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        model = MyModel

class MyModelPrivateSerializer(ModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        model = MyModel

class MyModelPusherBackend(PusherBackend):
    serializer_class = MyModelSerializer
    
class MyModelPrivatePusherBackend(PrivatePusherBackend):
    serializer_class = MyModelPrivateSerializer

Implement Views

Add the ModelPusherViewMixin mixin class to your views and define a get_pusher_channels method which should return a list of strings to use as channels.

# example/views.py

from rest_framework.viewsets import ModelViewSet
from drf_model_pusher.views import ModelPusherViewMixin
from example.serializers import MyModelSerializer

class MyModelViewSet(ModelPusherViewMixin, ModelViewSet):
    serializer_class = MyModelSerializer
    
    def get_pusher_channels(self):
        return ["<channel_id>"]

Ignoring the current connection

If you want to ignore the current connection when sending messages you should set a x-pusher-socket-id header on your requests. This may be useful if you're modifying resources and receiving the results in a response, you may not want the current connection to listen on these events to prevent duplicating content.

The PusherBackend.push_change method accepts an ignore boolean keyword argument which can toggle whether the pusher socket id is used, it defaults to True, so including the pusher socket id in the request will ignore the current connection for all pusher events sent by default.

Settings

  • DRF_MODEL_PUSHER_BACKENDS_FILE (default: pusher_backends.py) - The file in your applications to import PusherBackends.
  • DRF_MODEL_PUSHER_DISABLED (default: False) - Determines whether or not to trigger Pusher events.

Common Issues

Unregistered Backends

If you have followed the above steps correctly and your backends are not registering, your app config may not be running it's ready method. To force this, in your apps __init__.py add the line default_app_config = 'myapp.apps.MyAppConfig'

Pusher

Be aware of any pusher limits and consult their documentation at https://pusher.com/docs for some common questions.

Pusher has a 10kb default size limit on messages, this can be increased to 256kb by contacting support.

Extending PusherBackend

If you want to extend PusherBackend or PrivatePusherBackend rather than declaring a new concrete backend, you need to make sure the class is abstract. For example your new base class would be similar to this:

class MyPusherBackend(PusherBackend):
    class Meta:
        abstract = True

    # Override whatever methods here


class MyModelBackend(MyPusherBackend):
    class Meta:
        model = MyModel
