Namespaces based configuration for Apphooks

Basic concepts
==============

The concept of apphooks-config is to store all the configuration
in an applications-specific model, and let the developer
specify the desired option in a form.
In the views the model instance specific for the current
application namespace is loaded (through a mixin) and it's
thus available in the view to provide the configuration for
the current namespace.

Namespaces can be created on the fly in the ``Page`` admin
**Advanced settings** by following the steps above.
When creating an application configuration, you are in fact defining a
namespace, which is saved in the same field in the ``Page`` model as the
plain namespaces.


Implementation step-guide
=========================

* Define a AppHookConfig model in ``cms_appconfig.py``::

from aldryn_apphooks_config.models import AppHookConfig

class NewsBlogConfig(AppHookConfig):
pass

Implementation can be completely empty as the schema is defined in the
parent (abstract) model

* Use apphooks managers in your model::

from aldryn_apphooks_config.managers import AppHookConfigManager

class Article(models.Model):
title = models.CharField()

objects = AppHookConfigManager()

``AppHookConfigManager`` adds ``namespace`` method to manager and queryset::

Article.objects.namespace('foobar')

There is also a proper queryset, the ``ApphooksConfigQueryset``. Parler
integrated variants can be found in ``aldryn_apphooks_config.managers.parler``.
Names are ``AppHookConfigTranslatableManager`` and
``AppHookConfigTranslatableQueryset``.

* Define a ConfigForm in ``cms_appconfig.py``::

from app_data import AppDataForm
from django import forms
from aldryn_newsblog.models import NewsBlogConfig
from aldryn_apphooks_config.utils import setup_config

class BlogOptionForm(AppDataForm):
# fields are totally arbitrary: any form field supported by
# django-appdata is supported
show_authors = forms.BooleanField(required=False)
...

# this function will register the provided form with the model created
# at the above step
setup_config(BlogOptionForm, NewsBlogConfig)

* Define an admin class for the AppHookConfig model (usually in ``admin.py``::

from django.contrib import admin
from aldryn_apphooks_config.admin import BaseAppHookConfig

class BlogConfigAdmin(BaseAppHookConfig):

def get_config_fields(self):
# this method **must** be implemented and **must** return the
# fields defined in the above form, with the ``config`` prefix
# This is dependent on the django-appdata API
return ('config.show_authors', ...)

* Define a CMSApp derived from CMSConfigApp provided by this application
(in ``cms_app.py``/``cms_apps.py``)::

from aldryn_apphooks_config.app_base import CMSConfigApp
from cms.apphook_pool import apphook_pool
from django.utils.translation import ugettext_lazy as _
from .models import NewsBlogConfig


class NewsBlogApp(CMSConfigApp):
name = _('NewsBlogApp')
urls = ['aldryn_newsblog.urls']
app_name = 'aldryn_newsblog'
# this option is specific of CMSConfigApp, and links the
# CMSApp to a specific AppHookConfig model
app_config = NewsBlogConfig

apphook_pool.register(NewsBlogApp)

* Implements your views inheriting the ``AppConfigMixin``::

from django.views.generic.detail import DetailView
from aldryn_apphooks_config.mixins import AppConfigMixin

class ArticleDetail(AppConfigMixin, DetailView):
def get_queryset(self):
return Article.objects.namespace(self.namespace)

``AppConfigMixin`` provides a complete support to namespaces, so the view
is not required to set anything specific to support them; the following
attributes are set for the view class instance:

* current namespace in ``self.namespace``
* namespace configuration (the instance of NewsBlogConfig) in ``self.config``
* current application in the ``current_app`` parameter passed to the
Response class

Test setup
==========

To properly setup the data for tests to run for a apphook-config enabled application,
make sure you add the following code to your TestCase::

MyTestCase():

def setUp(self):
# This is the namespace represented by the AppHookConfig model instance
self.ns_newsblog = NewsBlogConfig.objects.create(namespace='NBNS')
self.page = api.create_page(
'page', self.template, self.language, published=True,
# this is the name of the apphook defined in the CMSApp class
apphook='NewsBlogApp',
# The namespace is the namespace field of the AppHookConfig instance created above
apphook_namespace=self.ns_newsblog.namespace)
# publish the page to make the apphook available
self.page.publish(self.language)
