Support for celery or other asynchronous queues? about stream-django HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi there,
doing celery outside of the http request is indeed a good practice. You can easily use celery for that by subclassing the default manager (https://github.com/GetStream/stream-django/blob/master/stream_django/managers.py) and change the STREAM_FEED_MANAGER_CLASS setting accordingly.

Thanks a lot - makes sense. And a quick extra question (can create another issue if you'd prefer). In the docs you mentioned the Activity.activity_related_models fields will be used in a call to select_related to retrieve the objects. Is it possible to specify any fields to be retrieved with prefetch_related? Something like a generic Tag or Like will usually need the content_object to be retrieved alongside it.

There is not direct support for prefetch_related but you can get it done by implementing a hook function in your enricher subclass. You can see the relevant part where the hook is looked up here: https://github.com/GetStream/stream-django/blob/master/stream_django/enrich.py#L90

If you model is called Tag you need to implement a method called fetch_tag_instances

eg.

from stream_django.enrich import Enrich

class MyEnrich(Enrich):

    def fetch_tag_instances(self, pks):
        return Tag.objects. in_bulk(pks).select_related(...).prefetch_related(...)

Thanks a lot 👍
