Description:

djangofsmlog 3.1.0

Django Finite State Machine Log

Provides persistence of the transitions of your fsm's models. Backed by the excellent Django FSM
package.
Logs can be accessed before a transition occurs and before they are persisted to the database
by enabling a cached backend. See Advanced Usage

Installation
First, install the package with pip. This will automatically install any
dependencies you may be missing
pip install django-fsm-log

Register django_fsm_log in your list of Django applications:
INSTALLED_APPS = (
...,
'django_fsm_log',
...,
)

Then migrate the app to create the database table
python manage.py migrate django_fsm_log

Usage
The app listens for the django_fsm.signals.post_transition signal and
creates a new record for each transition.
To query the log:
from django_fsm_log.models import StateLog
StateLog.objects.all()
# ...all recorded logs...

Disabling logging for specific models
By default transitions get recorded for all models. Logging can be disabled for
specific models by adding their fully qualified name to DJANGO_FSM_LOG_IGNORED_MODELS.
DJANGO_FSM_LOG_IGNORED_MODELS = ('poll.models.Vote',)

for_ Manager Method
For convenience there is a custom for_ manager method to easily filter on the generic foreign key:
from my_app.models import Article
from django_fsm_log.models import StateLog

article = Article.objects.all()[0]

StateLog.objects.for_(article)
# ...logs for article...

by Decorator
We found that our transitions are commonly called by a user, so we've added a
decorator to make logging this easy:
from django.db import models
from django_fsm import FSMField, transition
from django_fsm_log.decorators import fsm_log_by

class Article(models.Model):

state = FSMField(default='draft', protected=True)

@fsm_log_by
@transition(field=state, source='draft', target='submitted')
def submit(self, by=None):
pass

With this the transition gets logged when the by kwarg is present.
article = Article.objects.create()
article.submit(by=some_user) # StateLog.by will be some_user

description Decorator
Decorator that allows to set a custom description (saved on database) to a transitions.
from django.db import models
from django_fsm import FSMField, transition
from django_fsm_log.decorators import fsm_log_description

class Article(models.Model):

state = FSMField(default='draft', protected=True)

@fsm_log_description(description='Article submitted') # description param is NOT required
@transition(field=state, source='draft', target='submitted')
def submit(self, description=None):
pass

article = Article.objects.create()
article.submit() # logged with "Article submitted" description
article.submit(description="Article reviewed and submitted") # logged with "Article reviewed and submitted" description

.. TIP::
The "description" argument passed when calling ".submit" has precedence over the default description set in the decorator
The decorator also accepts a allow_inline boolean argument that allows to set the description inside the transition method.
from django.db import models
from django_fsm import FSMField, transition
from django_fsm_log.decorators import fsm_log_description

class Article(models.Model):

state = FSMField(default='draft', protected=True)

@fsm_log_description(allow_inline=True)
@transition(field=state, source='draft', target='submitted')
def submit(self, description=None):
description.set("Article submitted")

article = Article.objects.create()
article.submit() # logged with "Article submitted" description

Admin integration
There is an InlineForm available that can be used to display the history of changes.
To use it expand your own AdminModel by adding StateLogInline to its inlines:
from django.contrib import admin
from django_fsm_log.admin import StateLogInline

@admin.register(FSMModel)
class FSMModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
inlines = [StateLogInline]

Advanced Usage
You can change the behaviour of this app by turning on caching for StateLog records.
Simply add DJANGO_FSM_LOG_STORAGE_METHOD = 'django_fsm_log.backends.CachedBackend' to your project's settings file.
It will use your project's default cache backend by default. If you wish to use a specific cache backend, you can add to
your project's settings:
DJANGO_FSM_LOG_CACHE_BACKEND = 'some_other_cache_backend'

The StateLog object is now available after the django_fsm.signals.pre_transition
signal is fired, but is deleted from the cache and persisted to the database after django_fsm.signals.post_transition
is fired.
This is useful if:

you need immediate access to StateLog details, and cannot wait until django_fsm.signals.post_transition
has been fired
at any stage, you need to verify whether or not the StateLog has been written to the database

Access to the pending StateLog record is available via the pending_objects manager
from django_fsm_log.models import StateLog
article = Article.objects.get(...)
pending_state_log = StateLog.pending_objects.get_for_object(article)
