MgClipboard

Clipboard middleware for Papermerge DMS. Designed as Django reusable app.

Installation

Install it using pip::

pip install mgclipboard

Add app to INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py:

INSTALLED_APP = (
...
'mgclipboard',
...
)

Add it to MIDDLEWARE list:

MIDDLEWARE = [
    ...
    # AFTER
    # * django.contrib.sessions.middleware
    # * django.contrib.auth.middleware
    'mgclipboard.middleware.ClipboardMiddleware'
    ...
]

mgclipboard.middleware is dependent on django.contrib.sessions and django.contrib.auth middleware. Thus, dependencies must be included first in MIDDLEWARE list.

Usage

MgClipboard middleware adds 3 attributes to the request object:

• request.clipboard
• request.nodes (shortcut for request.clipboard.nodes)
• request.pages (shortcut for request.clipboard.pages)

To add list of node ids to clipboard use:

request.nodes.add(['id1', 'id2', ...])

To retrieve all node ids (folder or documents) currently in the clipboard call:

request.nodes.all()

To clear all nodes data from the clipboard:

request.nodes.clear()

To add pages, all belonging to same document, use:

request.pages.add(
    doc_id=doc_id,
    page_nums=[1, 2, 3]
)

Important! page_nums is a list of page numbers within document doc_id. Page numbering starts with 1.

All pages currently in clipboard are returned by:

request.pages.all()

To clear all pages data from the clipboard:

request.pages.clear()
