Python and Django utilities shared between different OpenWISP modules.

The admin theme requires Django >= 2.2.

• Customized admin theme for OpenWISP modules
• TimeStamped models and mixins which add self-updating created and modified fields.
• UUIDModel: base model with a UUID4 primary key
• DependencyLoader: template loader which looks in the templates dir of all django-apps listed in EXTENDED_APPS
• DependencyFinder: finds static files of django-apps listed in EXTENDED_APPS
• QA: logic and utilities to perform quality assurance checks across different modules

• Minimize code duplication among OpenWISP modules

Install from pypi:

pip install openwisp-utils
# install optional dependencies for tests (flake8 and isort)
pip install openwisp-utils[qa]

Install tarball:

pip install https://github.com/openwisp/openwisp-utils/tarball/master

Alternatively you can install via pip using git:

pip install -e git+git://github.com/openwisp/openwisp-utils#egg=openwisp-utils

If you want to contribute, install your cloned fork:

git clone git@github.com:<your_fork>/openwisp-utils.git
cd openwisp-utils
python setup.py develop

INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py should look like the following if you want to use the OpenWISP admin-theme:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    # customized admin theme
    'openwisp_utils.admin_theme',
    'django.contrib.sites',
    # admin
    'django.contrib.admin',
]

• Add openwisp_utils.admin_theme to INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py.
• Import admin_site and make changes like following into your urls.py file which contains admin urls:

from django.conf.urls import url
from openwisp_utils.admin_theme.site import admin_site

urlpatterns = [
    # other url patterns
    url(r'^admin/', admin_site.urls),
]

• TimeReadonlyAdminMixin: Admin mixin which adds two readonly fields created and modified. This is an admin mixin for models inheriting TimeStampedEditableModel which adds the fields created and modified to the database.

Add the list of all packages extended to EXTENDED_APPS in settings.py. If you've extended django_netjsonconfig and django_x509:

EXTENDED_APPS = ['django_netjsonconfig', 'django_x509']

Add openwisp_utils.staticfiles.DependencyFinder to STATICFILES_FINDERS in settings.py.

STATICFILES_FINDERS = [
    'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.FileSystemFinder',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.AppDirectoriesFinder',
    'openwisp_utils.staticfiles.DependencyFinder',
]

Add openwisp_utils.staticfiles.DependencyFinder to template loaders in settings.py as shown below.

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
        'DIRS': [],
        'OPTIONS': {
            'loaders': [
                'django.template.loaders.filesystem.Loader',
                'django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader',
                'openwisp_utils.loaders.DependencyLoader',
            ],
            'context_processors': [
                'django.template.context_processors.debug',
                'django.template.context_processors.request',
                'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
                'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
                'openwisp_utils.admin_theme.context_processor.menu_items'
            ],
        },
    },
]

Add openwisp_utils.admin_theme.context_processor.menu_items to template context_processors in settings.py as shown below.

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
        'DIRS': [],
        'OPTIONS': {
            'loaders': [
                'django.template.loaders.filesystem.Loader',
                'django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader',
                'openwisp_utils.loaders.DependencyLoader',
            ],
            'context_processors': [
                'django.template.context_processors.debug',
                'django.template.context_processors.request',
                'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
                'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
                'openwisp_utils.admin_theme.context_processor.menu_items'
            ],
        },
    },
]

default: openwisp_utils.admin_theme.admin.OpenwispAdminSite

If you need to use a customized admin site class, you can use this setting.

default: OpenWISP Admin

Title value used in the <title> HTML tag of the admin site.

default: OpenWISP

Heading text used in the main <h1> HTML tag (the logo) of the admin site.

default: Network administration

Title shown to users in the index page of the admin site.

default: []

Allows to pass a custom list of menu items to display in the admin menu.

If passed, overrides the default menu which is built by different openwisp modules.

The list should not include "home", "change password" and "log out", because those are automatically added and cannot be removed.

Example usage:

OPENWISP_ADMIN_MENU_ITEMS = [
    {'model': 'config.Device'},
    {'model': 'config.Template'},
    {'model': 'openwisp_users.User'},
    {
        'model': 'openwisp_radius.Accounting',
        'label': 'Radius sessions'  # custom label
    }
]

This package contains some common QA checks that are used the automated builds of different OpenWISP modules.

Ensures the latest migrations created have a human readable name.

We want to avoid having many migrations named like 0003_auto_20150410_3242.py.

This way we can reconstruct the evolution of our database schemas faster, with less efforts and hence less costs.

Usage example:

checkmigrations --migration-path ./django_freeradius/migrations/

Ensures the last commit message follows our commit message style guidelines.

We want to keep the commit log readable, consistent and easy to scan in order to make it easy to analyze the history of our modules, which is also a very important activity when performing maintenance.

Usage example:

checkcommit --message "$(git log --format=%B -n 1)"

If, for some reason, you wish to skip this QA check for a specific commit message you can add #noqa to the end of your commit message.

Usage example:

[qa] Improved #20

Simulation of a special unplanned case
#noqa
