I want to generate a push-notification whenever the database entry is updated if the current ID is 2 and a new tuple is added the id would be 3. so how can i be notified if that new id has been added to the database?
The data entry is done on the back-end by some python script no data has been added to the MySQL database by the user.
So every time a new tuple is added to the database I want my application to give me notification.
I am posting everything that might be relevant for your ease. please hep me with the code.
models.py creates table Offenses in the database models.py
class Offenses(models.Model):
oid = models.IntegerField(primary_key=True)
description = models.CharField(null=False, max_length=200)
objects = UserManager()
class Meta:
db_table = "offenses"
from views.py i am adding entries to the database that has been retrieved from an API and stored in the database.here is the snippet of my views.py
response_body = json.loads(response.read().decode('utf-8'))
for j in response_body:
obj, created = Offenses.objects.get_or_create(oid=j['id'], defaults={'description': j['description'], 'assigned_to': j['assigned_to']})
return render(request, 'table.html')
You could do something like this:
class Offenses(models.Model):
oid = models.IntegerField(primary_key=True)
description = models.CharField(null=False, max_length=200)
objects = UserManager() # Don't know why you use a user manager here.
class Meta:
db_table = "offenses"
def save(self, force_insert=False, force_update=False, using=None,
update_fields=None): # Overriding the model save function.
if self.id is None: # A none id indicates that it is a new object.
pass # Send / store the notification.
super().save(force_insert, force_update, using, update_fields)
How to do a push notification system it is another topic, but with this logic you can save the notification when the object is going to be created.
