Query Regarding Django Signals

[Nipun Arora]

Hello Community 

I was puzzled by the fact that if django signals are not asynchronous why do we use them as in when ever i want some trigger on post_save can't  i simply write that particular trigger in the same function that handles the request for saving a new object in django views..?

as in :

def handlerequest(Request):

    save instance to db 

   Do the work i would do in the method handling the signal post_save

The advantage with the signals is that you can put all that code in one place.  You may have different views that are saving the same model, and it isn’t DRY to have to put that same code in multiple locations.

Hi,

Signals are also good for decoupling things.

For example you want to do some post save action for third party models.

You can also just write a Celery task to do your async stuff and trigger it from signals.py
