==============
Code structure
==============
Follow PEP8
-----------
Whenever possible, but don't obsess over things like line length:
.. code-block:: bash
$ flake8 --ignore=E501,E128,E122 |less
To perform automatic PEP8 checks, install flake8's git hook using:
.. code-block:: bash
$ flake8 --install-hook git
Imports
-------
Import order should be:
- Standard Python modules
- Installed Python modules
- Core Django modules
- Installed Django modules
- Mayan EDMS modules
- Local imports
Example:
.. code-block:: bash
from __future__ import absolute_import
# Standard Python library
import base64
# 3rd party installed Python libraries
import requests
# Django core modules
from django.db.models import Q
from django.template.defaultfilters import slugify
from django.utils.translation import ugettext
from django.utils.translation import ugettext_lazy as _
# 3rd party installed Django libraries
from rest_framework import APIView
# Mayan apps
from metadata.classes import MetadataClass
# Local app imports (relative)
from .conf.settings import (
AVAILABLE_INDEXING_FUNCTIONS,
MAX_SUFFIX_COUNT, SLUGIFY_PATHS
)
from .exceptions import MaxSuffixCountReached
from .filesystem import (
fs_create_index_directory, fs_create_document_link,
fs_delete_document_link, fs_delete_index_directory,
assemble_suffixed_filename
)
from .models import Index, IndexInstanceNode, DocumentRenameCount
All local app module imports are in relative form. Local app module name is to
be referenced as little as possible, unless required by a specific feature,
trick, restriction (e.g., Runtime modification of the module's attributes).
Incorrect:
.. code-block:: bash
# documents app views.py model
from documents.models import Document
Correct:
.. code-block:: bash
# documents app views.py model
from .models import Document
Dependencies
------------
Mayan EDMS apps follow a hierarchical model of dependency. Apps import from
their parents or siblings, never from their children. Think plugins. A parent
app must never assume anything about a possible existing child app. The
documents app and the Document model are the basic entities; they must never
import anything else. The common and main apps are the base apps.
Variables
---------
Naming of variables should follow a Major to Minor convention, usually
including the purpose of the variable as the first piece of the name, using
underscores as spaces. camelCase is not used in Mayan EDMS.
Examples:
Links:
.. code-block:: bash
link_document_page_transformation_list = ...
link_document_page_transformation_create = ...
link_document_page_transformation_edit = ...
link_document_page_transformation_delete = ...
Constants:
.. code-block:: bash
PERMISSION_SMART_LINK_VIEW = ...
PERMISSION_SMART_LINK_CREATE = ...
PERMISSION_SMART_LINK_DELETE = ...
PERMISSION_SMART_LINK_EDIT = ...
Classes:
.. code-block:: bash
class Document(models.Model):
class DocumentPage(models.Model):
class DocumentPageTransformation(models.Model):
class DocumentType(models.Model):
class DocumentTypeFilename(models.Model):
Strings
-------
Quotation character used in Mayan EDMS for strings is the single quote.
Double quote is used for multiple line comments or HTML markup.
Migrations
----------
Migrations should do only one thing (example: either create a table, move data
to a new table or remove an old table) to aid retrying on failure.
General
-------
Code should appear in their modules in alphabetic order or in their order of
importance if it makes more sense for the specific application. This makes
visual scanning easier on modules with a large number of imports, views or
classes. Class methods that return a value should be pretended with a
``get_`` to differentiate from an objects properties. When a variable refers
to a file it should be named as follows:
- filename: The files name and extension only.
- filepath: The entire path to the file including the filename.
- path: A path to a directory.
Flash messages should end with a period as applicable for the language.
Only exception is when the tail of the message contains an exceptions message
as passed directly from the exception object.
Steps to deploy a development version
=====================================
.. code-block:: bash
$ git clone https://gitlab.com/mayan-edms/mayan-edms.git
$ cd mayan-edms
$ git checkout <Corresponding branch>
$ virtualenv venv
$ source venv/bin/activate
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ ./manage.py initialsetup
$ ./manage.py runserver
Debugging
=========
Mayan EDMS makes extensive use of Django's new
:django-docs:`logging capabilities <topics/logging>`.
By default debug logging for all apps is turned on. If you wish to customize
how logging is managed turn off automatic logging by setting
`COMMON_AUTO_LOGGING` to ``False`` and add the following lines to your
``settings/local.py`` file::
LOGGING = {
'version': 1,
'disable_existing_loggers': True,
'formatters': {
'verbose': {
'format': '%(levelname)s %(asctime)s %(name)s %(process)d %(thread)d %(message)s'
},
'intermediate': {
'format': '%(name)s <%(process)d> [%(levelname)s] "%(funcName)s() %(message)s"'
},
'simple': {
'format': '%(levelname)s %(message)s'
},
},
'handlers': {
'console':{
'level':'DEBUG',
'class':'logging.StreamHandler',
'formatter': 'intermediate'
}
},
'loggers': {
'documents': {
'handlers':['console'],
'propagate': True,
'level':'DEBUG',
},
'common': {
'handlers':['console'],
'propagate': True,
'level':'DEBUG',
},
}
}
Likewise, to see the debug output of the ``tags`` app, just add the following inside the ``loggers`` block::
'tags': {
'handlers':['console'],
'propagate': True,
'level':'DEBUG',
},
