django-strategy-field 2.0

Example

from strategy_field.fields import StrategyField
from django.core.mail.backends.filebased.EmailBackend


class Event(models.Model):
    backend = StrategyField()

Event(sender='django.core.mail.backends.filebased.EmailBackend')

Use case

As example we can imagine an application that manages Events that need to be notified to users. Each Occurrence of Event can be notified using different transport, (email, sms,…). We want to be able to add/change the way we send notification, per event basis, simply using the Django admin panel.

from strategy_field.fields import StrategyField
from strategy_field.registry import Registry

class TransportRegistry(Registry)
    pass

class AbstractStrategy(object):
    def __init__(self, context):
        self.context = context

    def send(self):
        raise NotImplementedError

class EmailStrategy(AbstractTransport):
    def send(self):
        ...

class SMSStrategy(AbstractTransport):
    def send(self):
        ...
registry = TransportRegistry(AbstractStrategy)
registry.register(EmailStrategy)
registry.register(SMSStrategy)

class Event(models.Model):
    sender = StrategyField(registry=registry)

Event.objects.get_or_create(sender=EmailStrategy)
...
...
e = Event.objects.get(sender=EmailStrategy)
e.sender.send() # e.sender.context == e
