A Django messaging library that features:
- Class-based declaration and registry approach, like Django Admin
- Supports multiple transmission methods (Email, SMS, Slack, etc) per message
- Browser-based previewing of messages
- Maintains a history of messaging sending attempts and can view these messages
- Disabling notifications per user
# Python/Django Support
We try to make herald support all versions of django that django supports + all versions in between.
For python, herald supports all versions of python that the above versions of django support.
So as of herald v0.3 we support django 3.2 and 4.x+, and python 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, and 3.10.
# Installation
1. `pip install django-herald`
2. Add `herald` and `django.contrib.sites` to `INSTALLED_APPS`.
3. Add herald's URLS:
```python
from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls import url, include
urlpatterns = []
if settings.DEBUG:
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^herald/', include('herald.urls')),
] + urlpatterns
```
# Usage
1. Create a `notifications.py` file in any django app. This is where your notification classes will live. Add a class like this:
```python
from herald import registry
from herald.base import EmailNotification
class WelcomeEmail(EmailNotification): # extend from EmailNotification for emails
template_name = 'welcome_email' # name of template, without extension
subject = 'Welcome' # subject of email
def __init__(self, user): # optionally customize the initialization
self.context = {'user': user} # set context for the template rendering
self.to_emails = [user.email] # set list of emails to send to
@staticmethod
def get_demo_args(): # define a static method to return list of args needed to initialize class for testing
from users.models import User
return [User.objects.order_by('?')[0]]
registry.register(WelcomeEmail) # finally, register your notification class
# Alternatively, a class decorator can be used to register the notification:
@registry.register_decorator()
class WelcomeEmail(EmailNotification):
...
```
2. Create templates for rendering the email using this file structure:
templates/
herald/
text/
welcome_email.txt
html/
welcome_email.html
3. Test how your email looks by navigating to `/herald/`.
4. Send your email wherever you need in your code:
WelcomeEmail(user).send()
5. View the sent emails in django admin and even be able to resend it.
## Email options
The following options can be set on the email notification class. For Example:
```
class WelcomeEmail(EmailNotification):
cc = ['test@example.com']
```
- `from_email`: (`str`, default: `settings.DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL`) email address of sender
- `subject`: (`str`, default: ) email subject
- `to_emails`: (`List[str]`, default: `None`) list of email strings to send to
- `bcc`: (`List[str]`, default: `None`) list of email strings to send as bcc
- `cc`: (`List[str]`, default: `None`) list of email strings to send as cc
- `headers`: (`dict`, default: `None`) extra headers to be passed along to the `EmailMultiAlternatives` object
- `reply_to`: (`List[str]`, default: `None`) list of email strings to send as the Reply-To emails
- `attachments`: (`list`) list of attachments. See "Email Attachments" below for more info
## Automatically Deleting Old Notifications
Herald can automatically delete old notifications whenever a new notification is sent.
To enable this, set the `HERALD_NOTIFICATION_RETENTION_TIME` setting to a timedelta instance.
For example:
```
HERALD_NOTIFICATION_RETENTION_TIME = timedelta(weeks=8)
```
Will delete all notifications older than 8 weeks every time a new notification is sent.
## Manually Deleting Old Notifications
The `delnotifs` command is useful for purging the notification history.
The default usage will delete everything from sent during today:
```bash
python manage.py delnotifs
```
However, you can also pass arguments for `start` or `end` dates. `end` is up to, but not including that date.
- if only `end` is specified, delete anything sent before the end date.
- if only `start` is specified, delete anything sent since the start date.
- if both `start` and `end` are specified, delete anything sent in between, not including the end date.
```bash
python manage.py delnotifs --start='2016-01-01' --end='2016-01-10'
```
## Asynchronous Email Sending
If you are sending slightly different emails to a large number of people, it might take quite a while to process. By default, Django will process this all synchronously. For asynchronous support, we recommend django-celery-email. It is very straightfoward to setup and integrate: https://github.com/pmclanahan/django-celery-email
## herald.contrib.auth
Django has built-in support for sending password reset emails. If you would like to send those emails using herald, you can use the notification class in herald.contrib.auth.
First, add `herald.contrib.auth` to `INSTALLED_APPS` (in addition to `herald`).
Second, use the `HeraldPasswordResetForm` in place of django's built in `PasswordResetForm`. This step is entirely dependant on your project structure, but it essentially just involves changing the form class on the password reset view in some way:
```python
# you may simply just need to override the password reset url like so:
url(r'^password_reset/$', password_reset, name='password_reset', {'password_reset_form': HeraldPasswordResetForm}),
# of if you are using something like django-authtools:
url(r'^password_reset/$', PasswordResetView.as_view(form_class=HeraldPasswordResetForm), name='password_reset'),
# or you may have a customized version of the password reset view:
class MyPasswordResetView(FormView):
form_class = HeraldPasswordResetForm # change the form class here
# or, you may have a custom password reset form already. In that case, you will want to extend from the HeraldPasswordResetForm:
class MyPasswordResetForm(HeraldPasswordResetForm):
...
# alternatively, you could even just send the notification wherever you wish, seperate from the form:
PasswordResetEmail(some_user).send()
```
Third, you may want to customize the templates for the email. By default, herald will use the `registration/password_reset_email.html` that is provided by django for both the html and text versions of the email. But you can simply override `herald/html/password_reset.html` and/or `herald/text/password_reset.txt` to suit your needs.
## User Disabled Notifications
If you want to disable certain notifications per user, add a record to the UserNotification table and
add notifications to the disabled_notifications many to many table.
For example:
```python
user = User.objects.get(id=user.id)
notification = Notification.objects.get(notification_class=MyNotification.get_class_path())
# disable the notification
user.usernotification.disabled_notifications.add(notification)
```
By default, notifications can be disabled. You can put can_disable = False in your notification class and the system will
populate the database with this default. Your Notification class can also override the verbose_name by setting it in your
inherited Notification class. Like this:
```python
class MyNotification(EmailNotification):
can_disable = False
verbose_name = "My Required Notification"
```
## Email Attachments
To send attachments, assign a list of attachments to the attachments attribute of your EmailNotification instance, or override the get_attachments() method.
Each attachment in the list can be one of the following:
1. A tuple which consists of the filename, the raw attachment data, and the mimetype. It is up to you to get the attachment data. Like this:
```python
raw_data = get_pdf_data()
email.attachments = [
('Report.pdf', raw_data, 'application/pdf'),
('report.txt', 'text version of report', 'text/plain')
]
email.send()
```
2. A MIMEBase object. See the documentation for attachments under EmailMessage Objects/attachments in the Django documentation.
3. A django `File` object.
### Inline Attachments
Sometimes you want to embed an image directly into the email content. Do that by using a MIMEImage assigning a content id header to a MIMEImage, like this:
```python
email = WelcomeEmail(user)
im = get_thumbnail(image_file.name, '600x600', quality=95)
my_image = MIMEImage(im.read()) # MIMEImage inherits from MIMEBase
my_image.add_header('Content-ID', '<{}>'.format(image_file.name))
```
You can refer to these images in your html email templates using the Content ID (cid) like this:
```html
```
You would of course need to add the "image_file" to your template context in the example above. You can also accomplish this using file operations. In this example we overrode the get_attachments method of an EmailNotification.
```python
class MyNotification(EmailNotification):
context = {'hello': 'world'}
template_name = 'welcome_email'
to_emails = ['somebody@example.com']
subject = "My email test"
def get_attachments(self):
fp = open('python.jpeg', 'rb')
img = MIMEImage(fp.read())
img.add_header('Content-ID', '<{}>'.format('python.jpeg'))
return [
img,
]
```
And in your template you would refer to it like this, and you would not need to add anything to the context:
```html
```
### HTML2Text Support
Django Herald can auto convert your HTML emails to plain text. Any email without a plain text version
will be auto converted if you enable this feature.
```
# Install html2text
pip install django-herald[html2text]
```
In your settings.py file:
```
HERALD_HTML2TEXT_ENABLED = True
```
You can customize the output of HTML2Text by setting a configuration dictionary. See
[HTML2Text Configuration](https://github.com/Alir3z4/html2text/blob/master/docs/usage.md) for options
```
HERALD_HTML2TEXT_CONFIG = {
# Key / value configuration of html2text
'ignore_images': True # Ignores images in conversion
}
```
```
HERALD_RAISE_MISSING_TEMPLATES = True
```
By default, Herald will raise an exception if a template is missing when true (default).
### Twilio
```
# Install twilio
pip install django-herald[twilio]
```
You can retrieve these values on [Twilio Console](https://twilio.com/console). Once you have retrieve the necessary ids, you can place those to your `settings.py`.
For reference, Twilio has some great tutorials for python.
[Twilio Python Tutorial](https://www.twilio.com/docs/sms/quickstart/python)
```
# Twilio configurations
# values taken from `twilio console`
TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID = "your_account_sid"
TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN = "your_auth_token"
TWILIO_DEFAULT_FROM_NUMBER = "+1234567890"
```
### Other MIME attachments
You can also attach any MIMEBase objects as regular attachments, but you must add a content-disposition header, or they will be inaccessible:
```python
my_image.add_header('Content-Disposition', 'attachment; filename="python.jpg"')
```
Attachments can cause your database to become quite large, so you should be sure to run the management commands to purge the database of old messages.

url(r'^password_reset/$', password_reset, name='password_reset', {'password_reset_form': HeraldPasswordResetForm}),
# of if you are using something like django-authtools:
url(r'^password_reset/$', PasswordResetView.as_view(form_class=HeraldPasswordResetForm), name='password_reset'),
# or you may have a customized version of the password reset view:
class MyPasswordResetView(FormView):
form_class = HeraldPasswordResetForm # change the form class here
# or, you may have a custom password reset form already. In that case, you will want to extend from the HeraldPasswordResetForm:
class MyPasswordResetForm(HeraldPasswordResetForm):
...
# alternatively, you could even just send the notification wherever you wish, seperate from the form:
PasswordResetEmail(some_user).send()
```
Third, you may want to customize the templates for the email. By default, herald will use the `registration/password_reset_email.html` that is provided by django for both the html and text versions of the email. But you can simply override `herald/html/password_reset.html` and/or `herald/text/password_reset.txt` to suit your needs.
## User Disabled Notifications
If you want to disable certain notifications per user, add a record to the UserNotification table and
add notifications to the disabled_notifications many to many table.
For example:
```python
user = User.objects.get(id=user.id)
notification = Notification.objects.get(notification_class=MyNotification.get_class_path())
# disable the notification
user.usernotification.disabled_notifications.add(notification)
```
By default, notifications can be disabled. You can put can_disable = False in your notification class and the system will
populate the database with this default. Your Notification class can also override the verbose_name by setting it in your
inherited Notification class. Like this:
```python
class MyNotification(EmailNotification):
can_disable = False
verbose_name = "My Required Notification"
```
## Email Attachments
To send attachments, assign a list of attachments to the attachments attribute of your EmailNotification instance, or override the get_attachments() method.
Each attachment in the list can be one of the following:
1. A tuple which consists of the filename, the raw attachment data, and the mimetype. It is up to you to get the attachment data. Like this:
```python
raw_data = get_pdf_data()
email.attachments = [
('Report.pdf', raw_data, 'application/pdf'),
('report.txt', 'text version of report', 'text/plain')
]
email.send()
```
2. A MIMEBase object. See the documentation for attachments under EmailMessage Objects/attachments in the Django documentation.
3. A django `File` object.
### Inline Attachments
Sometimes you want to embed an image directly into the email content. Do that by using a MIMEImage assigning a content id header to a MIMEImage, like this:
```python
email = WelcomeEmail(user)
im = get_thumbnail(image_file.name, '600x600', quality=95)
my_image = MIMEImage(im.read()) # MIMEImage inherits from MIMEBase
my_image.add_header('Content-ID', '<{}>'.format(image_file.name))
```
You can refer to these images in your html email templates using the Content ID (cid) like this:
```html
```
You would of course need to add the "image_file" to your template context in the example above. You can also accomplish this using file operations. In this example we overrode the get_attachments method of an EmailNotification.
```python
class MyNotification(EmailNotification):
context = {'hello': 'world'}
template_name = 'welcome_email'
to_emails = ['somebody@example.com']
subject = "My email test"
def get_attachments(self):
fp = open('python.jpeg', 'rb')
img = MIMEImage(fp.read())
img.add_header('Content-ID', '<{}>'.format('python.jpeg'))
return [
img,
]
```
And in your template you would refer to it like this, and you would not need to add anything to the context:
```html
```
### HTML2Text Support
Django Herald can auto convert your HTML emails to plain text. Any email without a plain text version
will be auto converted if you enable this feature.
```
# Install html2text
pip install django-herald[html2text]
```
In your settings.py file:
```
HERALD_HTML2TEXT_ENABLED = True
```
You can customize the output of HTML2Text by setting a configuration dictionary. See
[HTML2Text Configuration](https://github.com/Alir3z4/html2text/blob/master/docs/usage.md) for options
```
HERALD_HTML2TEXT_CONFIG = {
# Key / value configuration of html2text
'ignore_images': True # Ignores images in conversion
}
```
```
HERALD_RAISE_MISSING_TEMPLATES = True
```
By default, Herald will raise an exception if a template is missing when true (default).
### Twilio
```
# Install twilio
pip install django-herald[twilio]
```
You can retrieve these values on [Twilio Console](https://twilio.com/console). Once you have retrieve the necessary ids, you can place those to your `settings.py`.
For reference, Twilio has some great tutorials for python.
[Twilio Python Tutorial](https://www.twilio.com/docs/sms/quickstart/python)
```
# Twilio configurations
# values taken from `twilio console`
TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID = "your_account_sid"
TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN = "your_auth_token"
TWILIO_DEFAULT_FROM_NUMBER = "+1234567890"
```
### Other MIME attachments
You can also attach any MIMEBase objects as regular attachments, but you must add a content-disposition header, or they will be inaccessible:
```python
my_image.add_header('Content-Disposition', 'attachment; filename="python.jpg"')
```
Attachments can cause your database to become quite large, so you should be sure to run the management commands to purge the database of old messages.
