Installation
------------

Install using ``pip``

.. code:: sh

    $ pip install django-flag-app

If you want, you may install it from the source, grab the source code and install it.

.. code:: sh

    $ git clone git://github.com/abhiabhi94/django-flag-app.git
    $ cd django-flag-app
    $ pip install .

Usage
-----

Add app
````````

To enable ``django_flag_app`` in your project you need to add it to ``INSTALLED_APPS`` in your projects ``settings.py`` file:

.. code:: python

    INSTALLED_APPS = (
        ...
        'flag',
        ...
    )

Add URL
````````

In your root ``urls.py``:

.. code:: python

    urlpatterns = patterns(
            path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
            path('flag/', include('flag.urls')),
            ...
            path('api/', include('flag.api.urls')),  # only required for API Framework
            ...
        )

Migrate
````````

Run the migrations to add the new models to your database:

.. code:: sh

    python manage.py migrate flag


Connect the flag model with the target model
`````````````````````````````````````````````

In ``models.py`` add the field ``flags`` as a ``GenericRelation`` field to the required model.

E.g. for a ``Post`` model, you may add the field as shown below:

.. code:: python

    from django.contrib.contenttypes.fields import GenericRelation

    from flag.models import Flag


    class Post(models.Model):
        user = models.ForeignKey(User)
        title = models.CharField(max_length=200)
        body = models.TextField()
        # the field name should be flags
        flags = GenericRelation(Flag)

.. important::


    the name of the field should be **flags**.


Use template tag
`````````````````

If you want to use web API, this step is not required. See further instructions at `Web API`_.

.. _Web API: https://github.com/abhiabhi94/django-flag-app/blob/main/docs/webAPI.rst

``render_flag_form`` tag requires 3 required positional arguments:

    1. Instance of the targeted model.
    2. User object.
    3. Request object

To render the ``flag`` form for a the instance ``post``, place this inside your detail view, perhaps in some template of the sort ``postdetail.html``.

.. code:: jinja

    {% render_flag_form post user request %}
