This project provides a @hook decorator as well as a base model and mixin to add lifecycle hooks to your Django models. Django's built-in approach to offering lifecycle hooks is Signals. However, my team often finds that Signals introduce unnecessary indirection and are at odds with Django's "fat models" approach. Django Lifecycle Hooks supports Python 3.7, 3.8 and 3.9, Django 2.0.x, 2.1.x, 2.2.x, 3.0.x, 3.1.x, and 3.2.x. For simple cases, you might always want something to happen at a certain point, such as after saving or before deleting a model instance. When a user is first created, you could process a thumbnail image in the background and send the user an email.

Features

  • Requires Python (3.5+)
  • Works with Django (2.0+)
  • Enforce certain disallowed transitions
  • Base model and mixin to add lifecycle hooks to your Django models
  • Django's built-in approach to offering lifecycle hooks is Signals
  • You can write model code instead of overriding save and __init__ in a clunky way
