class SignalConnectMetaClass(type):
"""
Metaclass to connect the children of a base class to a Django signal.
Classes must have a signal argument and a get_dispatch_uid classmethod.
The signal argument must be the Django signal the class should be
connected to. The get_dispatch_uid classmethod must return a unique
value for each child class and None for base classes which will not be
connected.
The classmethod get_all_objects is added as get_all classmethod to every
class using this metaclass. Calling this on a base class or on child
classes will retrieve all connected children, on instance for each child
class. These instances will have a check_permission method which
returns True by default. You can override this method to return False
on runtime if you want to filter some children.
Example:
class Base(object):
__metaclass__ = SignalConnectMetaClass
signal = django.dispatch.Signal()
@classmethod
def get_dispatch_uid(cls):
if not cls.__name__ == 'Base':
return cls.__name__
class Child(Base):
def __init__(self, **kwargs):
pass
child = Base.get_all(request)[0]
assert Child == type(child)
"""

Creates the class and connects it to the signal if so.
