valar for morghulis

1. installation

• you need to install valar in a django project

pip install valar

2. root app

• you only need 3 files in your root app
  • settings.py
  • asgi.py
  • urls.py

2.2 asgi.py

from django.core.asgi import get_asgi_application
from channels.routing import ProtocolTypeRouter, URLRouter
from django.urls import re_path

from valar.channels.consumer import ValarConsumer

application = ProtocolTypeRouter({
    'http': get_asgi_application(),
    'websocket': URLRouter([
        re_path(r'(?P<client>\w+)/$', ValarConsumer.as_asgi()),
    ])
})

2.3 urls.py

• no need to provide urls for Valar, Valar will auto set urlpatterns for Morghulis ( see https://www.npmjs.com/package/morghulis)
• go to section 4 to see how to register channel handlers (a Vue - Django async communication tool) in urls.

3. migrate

• no need to makemigrations and migrate for valar, valar will auto migration

4. how to register a channel handler for Morghulis async methods

4.1 create a handler

import time
from valar.channels.sender import ValarChannelSender
from valar.channels.counter import Counter


def valar_test_handler(sender: ValarChannelSender):
    data = sender.data
    length = data.get('length', 100)
    counter = Counter(length)
    for i in range(length):
        time.sleep(0.1)
        tick = counter.tick()
        tick.update({'name': 'test1'})
        sender.load(tick)

4.2 create a dict (e.g. using the name 'channel_mapping') to save your handler

• I'd like to put it in the root urls.py, you can put it anywhere

channel_mapping = {
    'test': valar_test_handler,
}

4.3 register the channel_mapping in the settings.py

HANDLER_MAPPING = "%s.urls.channel_mapping" % BASE_APP

4.4 you can copy the following codes to your urls.py

import json

from django.urls import path

from valar.classes.valar_response import ValarResponse
from valar.views.handler import valar_test_handler


def test_request(request):
    body = json.loads(request.body)
    return ValarResponse(body)


urlpatterns = [
    path('test', test_request),
]

channel_mapping = {
    'test_handler': valar_test_handler,
}

5. create an orm model extends the AbstractUser class, enable the authentication of Valar

class User(AbstractUser):
    """
        any fields you want
    """
    description = models.TextField(null=True, verbose_name='备注')

    class Meta:
        verbose_name = 'User'
