djangoFCM^v0.1.0

Django app which stores, manages FCM push tokens and interacts with them.

Description

djangoFCM is Django-compatible application which stores FCM push tokens, their parameters, and automates push notifications routines.

Main feature is for djangoFCM to be a "plug-in" Django application, thus capable to work with "little-to-no" configuring and changes to Django project.

Features

djangoFCM @ v0.1.0 can:

• store push tokens
• store push tokens` arbitrary parameters with types:
  • foreign key
• store push notifications
• send scheduled push notifications
• compose recipients for push notifications based on user-specified conditions

Usage example

TODO

sample_project

sample-project is a showcase django project. You can reference to it for usage cases, examples, testing. You must never deploy sample_project in production due to exposed SECRET_KEY.

Getting Started

Dependencies

System dependencies

In means of automatisation, djangoFCM heavily relies on celery (via django-celery-beat), thus it is your task to provide celery and celerybeat processes and message broker (e.g. rabbitMQ).

Python packages

• django~=3.2.8 _{might work on lesser versions, not tested}
• django-celery-beat~=2.2.1 _{might work on lesser versions, not tested}
• pyfcm~=1.5.4 _{might work on lesser versions, not tested}

Django applications

• django_celery_beat

Installing

Using Python Package Index

• make sure to use latest pip:

  python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip

• install djangoFCM:

  python3 -m pip install djangoFCM

OR download package from releases

• download release asset (.tar.gz or .whl)

• make sure to use latest pip:

  python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip

• install djangoFCM from file:

  python3 -m pip install /path/to/downloaded/asset.tar.gz # or .whl

OR clone from repository

• clone project:

  git clone \
          --depth=1 \
          --branch=master \
          git@github.com:omelched/djangoFCM.git \
          </path/to/downloads>

• move /djangoFCM/djangoFCM solely to folder containing django apps

  mv      </path/to/downloads>/djangoFCM/djangoFCM \
          </path/to/django/project/apps>

• remove leftovers

  rm -rf  </path/to/downloads>/djangoFCM

Configuring

Installing application

Add djangoFCM to INSTALLED_APPS in your Django project settings.py.

If you installed package the third way, </path/to/django/project/apps> must be added to PYTHONPATH. If you not sure add code below in your Django project manage.py before calling main():

sys.path.append('</path/to/django/project/apps>')

Provide FCM api key via DJANGOFCM_FCM_API_KEY in your Django project settings.py.

Celery

Make sure to point celery to djangoFCM.tasks.send_push_notification task. Use app.autodiscover_tasks() in your celeryapp module or specify in settings:

CELERY_IMPORTS = (
    'djangoFCM.tasks',
)

Provide Celery worker to execute tasks, e.g:

venv/bin/celery -A sample_project worker -l INFO

Official documentation may help.

Celerybeat

Provide Celery beat to start scheduled tasks, e.g:

venv/bin/celery -A sample_project beat -l INFO --scheduler django_celery_beat.schedulers:DatabaseScheduler

Official documentation on custom schedulers.
