Description
A Django app to handle notifications.
Support for basic notifications, push notifications, and email notifications.

]

Include the URL configs in your project urls.py for the REST API endpoints like this:

Run python manage.py migrate to update your database schema.

Use the API endpoints, in code or your Django admin portal.

NOTE: not only must you have this installed, you must have set DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES and DEFAULT_PAGINATION_CLASS in your settings.py to work with the APIs properly. An example config would be:

REST_FRAMEWORK = {
"DEFAULT_PAGINATION_CLASS": "rest_framework.pagination.PageNumberPagination",
"PAGE_SIZE": 20,
"DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES": (
"rest_framework.authentication.TokenAuthentication",
),
}

Available Settings
Currently all available settings are optional:

TEAM_NAME - Default team name to use for emails, can be added to message context manually as well still.
IN_TEST - Whether running in tests or not. Used to determine whether to actually send email.

Add these to your settings.py file to customize the app's behavior like so:
TEAM_NAME = "My Team"
IN_TEST = True
