Examples¶
load¶
Let’s assume your app wants to load all plugins.py
files from the installed
apps, to allow those apps to extend your application. You can achieve this like
this:
from django_load.core import load
load('plugins')
iterload¶
Now let’s say you want to do the same, but actually do something with those
modules, more specific, find all objects in those modules, that are subclasses
of BasePlugin
and call our do_something
function with those objects:
from django_load.core import iterload
for module in iterload('plugins'):
for name in dir(module):
obj = getattr(module, name)
if issubclass(obj, BasePlugin):
do_something(obj)
iterload_objects¶
You could also have a setting called MY_APP_PLUGINS
which contains import
paths similar to MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES
. You want to load those plugins and
call the do_something
function with them:
from django_load.core import iterload_objects
from django.conf import settings
for obj in iterload_objects(settings.MY_APP_PLUGINS):
do_something(obj)
load_object¶
If you only want to load a single object, you can do that too. Let’s say you
want to load MyObject
from the mypackage.mymodule
module:
from django_load.core import load_object
obj = load_object('mypackage.mymodule.MyObject')
