instance-based events about thorn HOT 3 CLOSED

just found about sender_field. Closing.

Yeah, the sender_field should work here when you are mapping to a user, possible that it even works for objects that are not users also.

In my first webhook library written a long time ago, the subscribers could match arbitrary fields on the model: https://github.com/ask/durian
This makes for some pretty expensive queries, but maybe it could be extended in Thorn also.

Maybe the event name could have formats so that (if AddressBook here had a name, and a user can have multiple address books (Work, Friends):

@webhook_model(
    on_create=ModelEvent('contact.created.{.address_book.name}'),
    sender_field="address_book.user",
)

Then you could subscribe to contact.created.*, contact.created.Friends, etc.

@ask, I've wrote an initial implementation for instance-based event name formatting in #8
