django-notifications-rest Documentation

django-notifications-rest provides rest endpoints for django-notifications-hq.

Requirements

• Python 3.8 - 3.11
• Django 4.2 - 5.0
• django-notifications-hq latest version
• djangorestframework latest version

Installation

Installation using pip. You need to manually install the required django-notifications-hq and djangorestframework packages.

$ pip install django-notifications-rest

or get it from source

$ git clone https://github.com/yhdelgado/django-notifications-rest.git
$ cd django-notifications-rest
$ python setup.py sdist
$ pip install dist/django-notifications-rest*

Then to add the Django Notifications Rest to your project add the app notifications_rest to your INSTALLED_APPS and urlconf.

The app should go somewhere after all the apps that are going to be generating notifications like django.contrib.auth

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'rest_framework',
    'notifications'.
    ...
    'notifications_rest',
    ...
)

Add the notifications urls to your urlconf::

urlpatterns = [
    ...
    url('^notifications/', include('notifications_rest.urls')),
    ...
]

If the installed version of django>=3.1, then::

from django.urls import path, include
urlpatterns = [
    ...
    path('^notifications/', include('notifications_rest.urls')),
    ...
]

To run schema migration, execute python manage.py migrate.

Additional options:

There is also /add/ API endpoint to add new notifications. Such endpoint might be considered security risk, as any user can add any notifications. For that reason, it must be manually enabled by setting NOTIFICATIONS_API_ALLOW_ADD=True
