Create badge for your django user with postgresql triggers

Project description

Badges are earned by users for meeting some conditions defined in the badge.json file

A Badge object (database model) is then created linking a user to a badge.

conditions

Condition is a sql check to be made for awarding a badge.

You have access to the variable NEW if you set the trigger_contition to “update” or “insert”. This is the database object after update or insert.

You have access to the variable OLD if you set the trigger_contition to “update” or “delete”. This is the database object after update or delete.

triggers

We want the badges to be given as soon as a condition is meet. Even if the event come from an event outside the Django application.

We do not want to relly on celery to periodicaly check for badges

  • Too often : this is a performance bootleneck

  • Too late : annoying for users

The check for each badge is checked when “something” change.

To create the database triggers that will be responsible for badge earning run:

>>> python manage.py create_badge_triggers

When you change badge.json (adding, updating or deleting badges) run this commande to reflect those changes in the database.

badge.json example

` [{"name": "Pionner", "code": "pionner", "condition": "age(NEW.date_joined) > interval '1 year'", "trigger_condition": "update", "trigger_table": "auth_user", "user_field": "id" }, {"name": "Collector", "code": "collector" "condition": "count(id) >= 5 from dummy_sketch where user_id = NEW.user_id", "trigger_condition": "insert", "trigger_table": "dummy_sketch", "user_field": "user_id" }, {"name": "Star", "code": "star", "condition": "hit_views > 1000 ", "trigger_condition": "update", "trigger_table": "dummy_sketch", "user_field": "user_id" }] ` name is the name of the badge as it will be displayed in the front or the API.
