Description: ``django-notifications`` Documentation
        =======================================
        
        |build-status| |coveralls|
        
        `django-notifications <https://github.com/django-notifications/django-notifications>`_ is a GitHub notification alike app for Django, it was derived from `django-activity-stream <https://github.com/justquick/django-activity-stream>`_
        
        Notifications are actually actions events, which are categorized by four main components.
        
         * ``Actor``. The object that performed the activity.
         * ``Verb``. The verb phrase that identifies the action of the activity.
         * ``Action Object``. *(Optional)* The object linked to the action itself.
         * ``Target``. *(Optional)* The object to which the activity was performed.
        
        ``Actor``, ``Action Object`` and ``Target`` are ``GenericForeignKeys`` to any arbitrary Django object.
        An action is a description of an action that was performed (``Verb``) at some instant in time by some ``Actor`` on some optional ``Target`` that results in an ``Action Object`` getting created/updated/deleted.
        
        For example: `justquick <https://github.com/justquick/>`_ ``(actor)`` *closed* ``(verb)`` `issue 2 <https://github.com/justquick/django-activity-stream/issues/2>`_ ``(object)`` on `activity-stream <https://github.com/justquick/django-activity-stream/>`_ ``(target)`` 12 hours ago
        
        Nomenclature of this specification is based on the Activity Streams Spec: `<http://activitystrea.ms/specs/atom/1.0/>`_
        
        Installation
        ============
        
        Installation is easy using ``pip`` and will install all required libraries.
        
        ::
        
            $ pip install django-notifications-hq
        
        or get it from source
        
        ::
        
            $ git clone https://github.com/django-notifications/django-notifications
            $ cd django-notifications
            $ python setup.py install
        
        Note that `django-model-utils <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-model-utils>`_ will be installed: this is required for the pass-through QuerySet manager.
        
        Then to add the Django Notifications to your project add the app ``notifications`` to your ``INSTALLED_APPS`` and urlconf.
        
        The app should go somewhere after all the apps that are going to be generating notifications like ``django.contrib.auth``::
        
            INSTALLED_APPS = (
                'django.contrib.auth',
                ...
                'notifications',
                ...
            )
        
        Add the notifications urls to your urlconf::
        
            import notifications
        
            urlpatterns = patterns('',
                ...
                url('^inbox/notifications/', include(notifications.urls)),
                ...
            )
        
        The method of installing these urls, importing rather than using ``'notifications.urls'``, is required to ensure that the urls are installed in the ``notifications`` namespace.
        
        
        How to migrate schema
        =========================================
        
        For Django 1.4~1.6
        ------------------
        
        `django-south` support is shipped with `django-notifications`.
        
        #. Install latest version (>=1.0) `django-south <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/South/>`_
        #. Execute ``manage.py migrate notifications`` to migrate `django-notifications` schema
        
        For Django 1.7
        --------------
        
        Django 1.7 has built-in support for migrations. No need to install `django-south`.
        
        #. Execute ``manage.py migrate notifications``
        
        Generating Notifications
        =========================
        
        Generating notifications is probably best done in a separate signal.
        
        ::
        
            from django.db.models.signals import post_save
            from notifications import notify
            from myapp.models import MyModel
        
            def my_handler(sender, instance, created, **kwargs):
                notify.send(instance, verb='was saved')
        
            post_save.connect(my_handler, sender=MyModel)
        
        To generate an notification anywhere in your code, simply import the notify signal and send it with your actor, recipient, verb, and target.
        
        ::
        
            from notifications import notify
        
            notify.send(user, recipient=user, verb='you reached level 10')
        
            notify.send(comment.user, recipient=user, verb=u'replied', action_object=comment,
                        description=comment.comment, target=comment.content_object)
        
            notify.send(follow_instance.user, recipient=follow_instance.follow_object, verb=u'has followed you',
                        action_object=instance, description=u'', target=follow_instance.follow_object)
        
        Extra data
        ----------
        
        You can attach arbitrary data to your notifications by doing the following:
        
          * Add to your settings.py: ``NOTIFICATIONS_USE_JSONFIELD=True``
        
        Then, any extra arguments you pass to ``notify.send(...)`` will be attached to the ``.data`` attribute of the notification object.
        These will be serialised using the JSONField's serialiser, so you may need to take that into account: using only objects that will be serialised is a good idea.
        
        Soft delete
        -----------
        
        By default, ``delete/(?P<slug>\d+)/`` deletes specified notification record from DB.
        You can change this behaviour to "mark ``Notification.deleted`` field as ``True``" by:
        
          * Add to your settings.py: ``NOTIFICATIONS_SOFT_DELETE=True``
        
        With this option, QuerySet methods ``unread`` and ``read`` contain one more filter: ``deleted=False``.
        Meanwhile, QuerySet methods ``deleted``, ``active``, ``mark_all_as_deleted``, ``mark_all_as_active`` are turned on.
        See more details in QuerySet methods section.
        
        API
        ====
        
        QuerySet methods
        -----------------
        
        Using ``django-model-utils``, we get the ability to add queryset methods to not only the manager, but to all querysets that will be used, including related objects. This enables us to do things like::
        
          Notification.objects.unread()
        
        which returns all unread notifications. To do this for a single user, we can do::
        
          user = User.objects.get(pk=pk)
          user.notifications.unread()
        
        There are some other QuerySet methods, too.
        
        ``qs.unread()``
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        Return all of the unread notifications, filtering the current queryset.
        When ``NOTIFICATIONS_SOFT_DELETE=True``, this filter contains ``deleted=False``.
        
        ``qs.read()``
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        Return all of the read notifications, filtering the current queryset.
        When ``NOTIFICATIONS_SOFT_DELETE=True``, this filter contains ``deleted=False``.
        
        
        ``qs.mark_all_as_read()`` | ``qs.mark_all_as_read(recipient)``
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        Mark all of the unread notifications in the queryset (optionally also filtered by ``recipient``) as read.
        
        
        ``qs.mark_all_as_unread()`` | ``qs.mark_all_as_unread(recipient)``
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        Mark all of the read notifications in the queryset (optionally also filtered by ``recipient``) as unread.
        
        ``qs.deleted()``
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        Return all notifications that have ``deleted=True``, filtering the current queryset.
        Must be used with ``NOTIFICATIONS_SOFT_DELETE=True``.
        
        ``qs.active()``
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        Return all notifications that have ``deleted=False``, filtering the current queryset.
        Must be used with ``NOTIFICATIONS_SOFT_DELETE=True``.
        
        ``qs.mark_all_as_deleted()`` | ``qs.mark_all_as_deleted(recipient)``
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        Mark all notifications in the queryset (optionally also filtered by ``recipient``) as ``deleted=True``.
        Must be used with ``NOTIFICATIONS_SOFT_DELETE=True``.
        
        ``qs.mark_all_as_active()`` | ``qs.mark_all_as_active(recipient)``
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        Mark all notifications in the queryset (optionally also filtered by ``recipient``) as ``deleted=False``.
        Must be used with ``NOTIFICATIONS_SOFT_DELETE=True``.
        
        
        Model methods
        -------------
        
        ``obj.timesince([datetime])``
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        A wrapper for Django's ``timesince`` function.
        
        ``obj.mark_as_read()``
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        Mark the current object as read.
        
        
        Template tags
        -------------
        
        Put `{% load notifications_tags %}` in the template before you actually use notification tags.
        
        
        ``notifications_unread``
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        ::
        
            {% notifications_unread %}
        
        Give the number of unread notifications for a user, or nothing (an empty string) for an anonymous user.
        
        Storing the count in a variable for further processing is advised, such as::
        
            {% notifications_unread as unread_count %}
            ...
            {% if unread_count %}
                You have <strong>{{ unread_count }}</strong> unread notifications.
            {% endif %}
