# Calendar App Documentation
## Introduction
Welcome to the documentation for the Calendar app! This app is designed to manage events and link them to custom models with a "date" field. The documentation will cover installation, configuration, and basic usage of the app.
## Installation
To get started, make sure you have Django installed in your project. After cloning this repo inside the project,
Add 'calendar_app' to your installed apps in `settings.py`:
```python
INSTALLED_APPS = [
# ...
'calendar_app',
# ...
]
```
Run migrations:
```bash
python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate
```
## Configuration
### Signals
Signals are used to automatically create `EventLink` instances when a linked object is created or deleted, when a linked object is deleted the event is deeted as well:
```python
# In the signals.py file
from django.db.models.signals import post_save, pre_delete
from django.dispatch import receiver
from django.apps import apps
from django.contrib.contenttypes.models import ContentType
from .models import EventLink
@receiver(post_save)
def create_event_link(sender, instance, created, **kwargs):
if created and has_date_field(instance):
# Create an EventLink instance associated with the object
EventLink.objects.create(
object_date=get_date_field_value(instance),
content_type=ContentType.objects.get_for_model(sender),
object_id=instance.id,
)
@receiver(pre_delete)
def delete_event_link(sender, instance, **kwargs):
try:
# Try to get the value of the 'object_date' field
object_date = getattr(instance, 'date', None)
if object_date:
# Find and delete the EventLink associated with the object about to be deleted
content_type = ContentType.objects.get_for_model(sender)
event_link = EventLink.objects.filter(
content_type=content_type,
object_id=instance.id,
object_date=object_date
).first()
if event_link:
event_link.delete()
except Exception as e:
# Handle any exceptions during execution
pass
def has_date_field(instance):
# Check if the object has a 'date' field (add other fields if necessary)
return hasattr(instance, 'date')
def get_date_field_value(instance):
# Get the value of the 'date' field (add other fields if necessary)
return getattr(instance, 'date', None)
```
# In the apps.py file
``` python
# Add the signal to the `apps.py` file:
from django.apps import AppConfig
class CalendarAppConfig(AppConfig):
default_auto_field = 'django.db.models.BigAutoField'
name = 'calendar_app'
def ready(self):
import calendar_app.signals # Import the signals module
```
## Using the App
### Managing Events
Events are managed through the `EventLink` model. You can get events for a specific month using the `get_events_for_month` function in the `views.py` file:
```python
# In the views.py file
import calendar as cal_module
from django.shortcuts import render
from .models import EventLink
from datetime import datetime, date
from dateutil.relativedelta import relativedelta
def monthly_calendar(request, year, month):
# Logic to get the month's calendar
calendar_data = cal_module.monthcalendar(year, month)
# Logic to get the month's events
events = get_events_for_month(year, month)
# Calculate the previous and next month
prev_month = get_previous_month(year, month)
next_month = get_next_month(year, month)
context = {
'calendar': calendar_data,
'events': events,
'year': year,
'month': month,
'prev_month': prev_month,
'next_month': next_month,
}
return render(request, 'calendar/monthly_calendar.html', context)
def get_events_for_month(year, month):
# Calculate the start and end date of the month
start_date = date(year, month, 1)
_, last_day = cal_module.monthrange(year, month)
end_date = start_date + relativedelta(day=last_day)
# Filter for events that have the date equal to the selected month
events = EventLink.objects.filter(
object_date__gte=start_date,
object_date__lte=end_date
)
return events
def get_next_month(year, month):
current_date = datetime(year, month, 1)
next_month = current_date + relativedelta(months=+1)
return next_month.year, next_month.month
def get_previous_month(year, month):
current_date = datetime(year, month, 1)
previous_month = current_date - relativedelta(months=1)
return previous_month.year, previous_month.month
def event_detail(request, event_id):
# Retrieve the event using the event_id
event = get_object_or_404(Event, id=event_id)
context = {
'event': event
}
return render(request, 'calendar/event_detail.html', context)
```
