django-wakawaka

django-wakawaka is a super simple wiki system written in Python using the Django framework.

• Links between Wiki pages are automatically resolved by their CamelCase naming scheme.

• It automatically keeps track of revision changes of a Page, while providing the ability to revert to earlier states.

• It also has a quite comprehensive permission integration, taking care of Django's default create/edit/delete permissions.

• Wakawaka is an application and indented to be placed in an existing project.

Some screenshots from the Example Project:

• WikiIndex Page
• Revision List
• Page History

Installation:

1. Put wakawaka to your INSTALLED_APPS in your settings.py within your django project.
2. Add (r'^wiki/', include('wakawaka.urls')), to your urls.py.

That's all. Wakawaka has no other dependencies than Django 1.11 or later.

Configuration:

Wakawaka takes care of Django's permission system. Grant your users always a pair of wikipage and revision permissions either what they should do. (Adding, changing or deleting WikiPages)

Optional Settings:

The name of your first wiki page is defined as WikiIndex. You can change this by adding a setting WAKAWAKA_DEFAULT_INDEX to your settings.py. Example:

WAKAWAKA_DEFAULT_INDEX = 'Home'

Words that are written in CamelCase (a pair of one upper letter followed by n lower letters) are automatically treated as internal wiki links. You can change this behaviour by adding a setting WAKAWAKA_SLUG_REGEX to your settings.py. This holds a regular expression of the wiki name format. Default:

WAKAWAKA_SLUG_REGEX = r'((([A-Z]+[a-z]+){2,})(/([A-Z]+[a-z]+){2,})*)'

Attachments:

Wakawaka does not provide the ability to store file attachments to wiki pages. To do so, have a look on the side project django-attachments which provides a unobstrusive way to add attachments to models.

Testing and Development:

The project comes with a test library which can be simply invoked by Tox, which tests the project under all current Python and Django versions:

$ pip install tox
$ tox

To run the testsuite manually in your development environment, install the project using Poetry:

$ poetry install
$ pipenv run pytest

Example Project:

The application comes with a sample project. This gives you a brief overview about the Wiki features, and can help you with the integration of the application into an existing project. It's alo used for the test suite:

$ poetry install
$ poetry run ./manage.py migrate
$ poetry run ./manage.py createsuperuser
$ poetry run ./manage.py runserver
