django-crocdoc

Django integration with crocdoc

Use-Case

As an application developer

I want to be able to send a document to crocdoc and generate a url to provide my users with access to the crocdoc version of my document. So that they may comment on make annotations and provide feedback on the document

Using

settings.py

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    'dj_crocodoc',
)

You may also want to include our tests with yours

test_settings.py

INSTALLED_APPS = INSTALLED_APPS + (
    'dj_crocodoc.tests',
)

There are two means of using the system

As a Service

from dj_crocodoc.services import CrocoDocConnectService

# get my object that i want to send to crocodoc for review
document = FakeDocumentObject.objects.create(my_document_field='./test.pdf')

service = CrocoDocConnectService(document_object=document,  # send the full object to the service
                                 app_label='tests',         # need to know which app it is a part of
                                 field_name='my_document_field', # specify the field name that handles the FileObject
                                 upload_immediately=False)  # dont upload it to crocodoc right away (default)

inspect the objects

>>>service.obj
<CrocodocDocument: CrocodocDocument object>
>>>service.is_new
True

get the source object from our crocodoc object

>>>service.obj.source_object
<FakeDocumentObject: FakeDocumentObject object>

As a Signal

from dj_crocodoc.signals import send_to_crocodoc

document = FakeDocumentObject.objects.create(my_document_field='./test.pdf')

send_to_crocodoc.send(sender=self,  # the sender of the signal
                      document_object=document, # the object to upload
                      app_label='tests',    # the ap label
                      field_name='my_document_field', # the field that contains the FileObject
                      upload_immediately=True)  # default is true
