django-fluent-utils

This module is mainly used internally between other django-fluent apps. For the whole list of apps, see http://django-fluent.org/

This module provides:

• Stubs to make integration with third-party apps optional
• Django compatibility code
• Shared code for fluent apps ("Don't repeat yourself")

Stub features

fluent_utils.softdeps.any_imagefield

Support django-any-imagefield when it's available. This provides an improved ImageField and FileField.

It supports various third party media libraries, allowing django-fluent to use the media library of your choice.

fluent_utils.softdeps.any_urlfield

The AnyUrlField enhances the standard Django URLField, when django-any-urlfield is installed.

fluent_utils.softdeps.comments

Seemingly switch between django_comments or the older django.contrib.comments.

fluent_utils.softdeps.fluent_pages

Stub the CurrentPageMixin, app_reverse() and mixed_reverse() when django-fluent-pages is not installed. This allows apps to revert to standard urls.py URLs when they can't provide URLs via a custom page type for the fluent-pages tree.

fluent_utils.softdeps.taggit

Optional support for tagging. It supports various applications:

• django-taggit
• taggit-selectize
• django-taggit-autosuggest
• django-taggit-autocomplete-modified

django-fluent automatically uses one of these third-party apps when it's found in INSTALLED_APPS.

Internal API's

These API's are available for other django-fluent-.. modules:

• fluent_utils.ajax.JsonResponse - a JsonResponse before Django 1.8 provided that.
• fluent_utils.django_compat - imports for various features that moved or changed between Django versions.
• fluent_utils.dry.admin.MultiSiteAdminMixin - mixin for the admin to filter on the parent_site field.
• fluent_utils.dry.fields.HideChoicesCharField - avoid expanding choices in Django migrations.
• fluent_utils.load.import_apps_submodule() - import a module in every application found in INSTALLED_APPS.
• fluent_utils.load.import_class() - import a class via a Python path.
• fluent_utils.load.import_settings_class() - import a class via a named setting.
• fluent_utils.load.import_module_or_none() - import a module, only raises an ImportError for sub modules.
• fluent_utils.softdeps.* - various soft dependencies, see above
