The django-notifications project implements a modular architecture centered around a Notification Data Model that serves as the authoritative source for all notification data. Notification API Endpoints provide a programmatic interface for Client-Side Interaction to dynamically manage and retrieve notifications, while Template Integration & Display enables server-side rendering of notification elements. Notification Event Handlers (Signals) ensure the Notification Data Model is updated in response to application events, maintaining data consistency. Supporting these core components, Notification Utilities & Helpers offer reusable logic for common data operations and processing tasks, interacting directly with the Notification Data Model to facilitate efficient data access and manipulation across the system. This design promotes clear separation of concerns and a well-defined data flow, ideal for both documentation and visual representation.
Notification Data Model [Expand]
The central data layer defining the Notification entity, its attributes, and the primary interface for database interactions. Manages persistence, state (read/unread, sent/unsent, soft-deletion), and querying.
