Sweetify - SweetAlert for Django

Sweetify allows you to use SweetAlert or SweetAlert2 for your temporary messages. See the examples below, to see how to use this library

Installation

Note: This package does not provide the client-side files of SweetAlert. You have to provide them yourself.

Install the latest version with pip:

pip install --upgrade sweetify

Then you have to add sweetify to your django apps:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    'sweetify'
]

Next up you have to specify, in your settings, which library you are using (SweetAlert or SweetAlert2):

# possible options: 'sweetalert', 'sweetalert2' - default is 'sweetalert2'
SWEETIFY_SWEETALERT_LIBRARY = 'sweetalert2'

Next add the following lines to the bottom of your layout/base template:

...

{% load sweetify %}
{% sweetify %}

</body>
</html>

Usage

You can now easily create alerts in your views with any of the following methods provided by Sweetify:

import sweetify

# Base method with no type specified
sweetify.sweetalert(self.request, 'Westworld is awesome', text='Really... if you have the chance - watch it!', persistent='I agree!')

# Additional methods with the type already defined
sweetify.info(self.request, 'Message sent', button='Ok', timer=3000)
sweetify.success(self.request, 'You successfully changed your password')
sweetify.error(self.request, 'Some error happened here - reload the site', persistent=':(')
sweetify.warning(self.request, 'This is a warning... I guess')

We also support toast messages (SweetAlert2 only)

import sweetify

# Base method, default icon is set to success
sweetify.toast(self.request, 'Cheers to new toast')

sweetify.toast(self.request, 'Oops, something went wrong !', icon="error", timer=3000)
sweetify.toast(self.request, 'Persistent toast that only goes away once clicked', icon='warning', persistent="Bye toast!")

Additionally, you can issue multiple alerts without reloading the page ONLY if you are using SweetAlerts 2. To do so, you must define your options in a dictionary:

import sweetify

# Call two consecutive alerts (args1 is the options dict for the first alert and args2 the one for the second alert):
sweetify.multiple(self.request, args1, args2)

# Call five consecutive alerts:
sweetify.multiple(self.request, args1, args2, args3, args4, args5)

Example Usage

import sweetify

def test_view(request):
    sweetify.success(request, 'You did it', text='Good job! You successfully showed a SweetAlert message', persistent='Hell yeah')
    return redirect('/')

Example usage for multiple alerts:

import sweetify

def test_view(request):
    args1 = dict(title='Test1', icon='info', text="Text placeholder1", button="Next")
    args2 = dict(title='Test2', icon='success', text="Text placeholder2", timer=5000, timerProgressBar='true', persistent="Close")
    sweetify.multiple(request, args1, args2)
    return redirect('/')

Replacement for SuccessMessageMixin

Sweetify includes a drop-in replacement for SuccessMessageMixin. Just replace the Django mixin with Sweetify's SweetifySuccessMixin and you are good to go.

from sweetify.views import SweetifySuccessMixin

class TestUpdateView(SweetifySuccessMixin, UpdateView):
    model = TestModel
    fields = ['text']
    success_message = 'TestModel successfully updated!'

Options

By default, all alerts will dismiss after a sensible default number of seconds.

Default options set by Sweetify:

sweetify.DEFAULT_OPTS = {
    'showConfirmButton': False,
    'timer': 2500,
    'allowOutsideClick': True,
    'confirmButtonText': 'OK',
}

The following special options provided by Sweetify are available:

# Shows the alert with a button, but will still close automatically
sweetify.sweetalert(self.request, 'Title', button=True)
sweetify.sweetalert(self.request, 'Title', button='Awesome!') # Custom text for the button

# Shows the alert with a button and only closes if the button is pressed
sweetify.sweetalert(self.request, 'Title', persistent=True)
sweetify.sweetalert(self.request, 'Title', persistent='Awesome!') # Custom text for the button

You also can use any other available option that SweetAlert accepts:

sweetify.info(self.request, 'Sweet!', text='Here is a custom image', imageUrl='images/thumbs-up.jpg', timer=5000)

If you use CSP you can use the optional nonce parameter on the sweetify tag:

{% load sweetify %}

<!-- static nonce -->
{% sweetify nonce="XYZ" %}

<!-- from request -->
{% sweetify nonce=request.csp_nonce %}
