Have option to use django-cleanup explicitly on models

[daviddavis]

By default, django-cleanup works by cleaning all models unless you explicitly ignore them with @cleanup.ignore. I'm wondering if django-cleanup could work in such a way that it doesn't cleanup any models unless you explicitly ask it to?

For example:

@cleanup.cleanup
class UserImage(models.Model):
    image = models.FileField()

[wlisesrivas]

Maybe extends from some class instead?

class UserImage(cleanup.CleanUp, models.Model):
    image = models.FileField()

My initial thought is that the implementation would follow the way that cleanup.ignore is implemented as a decorator.

Then add additional configuration in addition to the default django_cleanup.apps.CleanupConfig (which is what one adds to INSTALLED_APPS) so then there would be two configs:

django_cleanup.apps.CleanupConfig: current default behavior, cleans all, ignore model using @cleanup.ignore.

django_cleanup.apps.CleanupSelectedConfig: only cleans selected, select model using @cleanup.cleanup.

Not sure about the extends method, it would seem to bring in defining how it works with inheritance. Right now @cleanup.ignore does not mark subclasses as ignored.

@vinnyrose that sounds like a fine solution.

FWIW, our project decided to use django-cleanup as it is and add @cleanup.ignore to the models we want to ignore. So we no longer need this.

Thank you for this project by the way. It's super useful.

@vinnyrose That solution sounds great, and I would still love to see it implemented, if it is still in the works.
