Where to put the django signal receiver code?

Question

Hi, I am defining my own signal and receiver. I just want to know where I should post my codes. It is located in models.py or in views.py. Please, help

Answer 1

• Create a python file - signals.py in your application.

• Add this line to __init__.py in your application.

  import signals

• Restart the django project.

Work!

Answer 2

You can create a signals.py file. But I can not add import signals to the __init__.py file. Because signal-related models will not be loaded yet. So, in the apps.py file you can find a class that inherits from the AppConfig class and this class has a ready(self) method. You must import your signals in this function:

 from django.apps import AppConfig class MainConfig(AppConfig): name = 'main' def ready(self): import main.signals 

Answer 3

Since you can have different ways to use your django code, for example, as a WSGI application (django.core.wsgi) or in hocking scripts with django.setup () call

a good idea is to put your signal code in a file with the model itself or import it into a file with a model

or the class of methods of the model itself, as suggested here by fooobar.com/questions/51488 / ...
