django-dramatiq-pg 1.1.0

Installation

1. Install with pip

   $ pip install django-dramatiq-pg

2. Add to your INSTALLED_APPS list in settings.py

   INSTALLED_APPS = [
       ...
       'django_dramatiq_pg',
   ]

3. Create a Registry, and register your tasks

   from django_dramatiq_pg.registry import Registry
   
   tasks = Registry()
   
   
   @tasks.actor
   def mytask():
       ...

4. Configure

   DRAMATIQ_BROKER = {
       "OPTIONS": {
           "url": "postgres:///mydb",
       },
       "MIDDLEWARE": [
           "dramatiq.middleware.TimeLimit",
           "dramatiq.middleware.Callbacks",
           "dramatiq.middleware.Retries",
       ],
   }
   DRAMATIC_REGISTRY = 'myapp.registry.tasks'

5. Start the worker process:

   $ dramatiq django_dramatiq_pg.worker

This worker module will auto-discover any module called ‘actors’ in INSTALLED_APPS.

Settings

DRAMATIQ_BROKER

A dict of options to pass when instantiating the broker.

DRAMATIC_BROKER[‘OPTIONS’]

Arguments to pass to the Broker.

DRAMATIC_BROKER[‘MIDDLEWARE’]

A list of middleware classes to be passed to the broker.

These can either be import strings, or instances.

DRAMATIQ_ENCODER

Default: None

Import path for encoder class.

DRAMATIQ_ACTORS_MODULE

Default: ‘actors’

Name of module use to auto-discover actors in INSTALLED_APPS.

DRAMATIQ_REGISTRY

Import path for the task Registry instance.

This should refer to an instance of django_dramatiq_pg.registry.Registry.

This resolves the chicken/egg problem of declaring tasks before the broker is configured.
