Django Invoice
Create invoices on your django website.
Overview
Django-invoice is a little Django app that allows you to create invoices in a Django project.
Requirements
- Python (2.6, 2.7)
- Django (1.5, 1.6)
- django-addresses
Installation
Install using pip...
pip install django-invoice
Setup
Add it to your INSTALLED_APPS setting.
INSTALLED_APPS = (
...
'invoice',
'addressbook',
)
Create user profile model with an addresses foreign key to Address. I normally
put this in an account app. Don't forget to add it to your INSTALLED_APPS.
from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from addressbook.models import Address
class UserProfile(models.Model):
user = models.ForeignKey(User, unique=True)
addresses = models.ManyToManyField(Address)
def __unicode__(self):
return self.user.email
@property
def address(self):
return self.addresses.latest()
Set the model as your auth profile model.
AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE = 'account.UserProfile'
Run python manage.py syncdb --migrate.
Configure your settings. Apart from INV_MODULE they are self explanatory.
INV_MODULE is a path to a module that contains functions to customize the
invoice.
INV_MODULE = 'invoice_mod'
INV_CURRENCY = u'EUR'
INV_CURRENCY_SYMBOL = u'โฌ'
INV_LOGO = 'static/images/logo.jpg'
Here is an example module to customize the invoice.
from reportlab.lib.units import cm
from invoice.conf import settings
business_details = (
u'Your Name',
u'# A street',
u'##### Town',
u'Country',
u'',
u'Email: [email protected]',
u'Site: www.example.com',
u'Tel: 0## ### ### ###'
)
note = (
u'PAYMENT TERMS: 30 DAYS FROM INVOICE DATE.',
u'Please make all cheques payable to Your Name.',
)
def draw_header(canvas):
""" Draws the invoice header """
canvas.setStrokeColorRGB(0.13, 0.55, 0.87)
canvas.setFillColorRGB(0.2, 0.2, 0.2)
canvas.setFont('Helvetica', 16)
canvas.drawString(18 * cm, -1 * cm, 'Invoice')
canvas.drawInlineImage(settings.INV_LOGO, 1 * cm, -1 * cm, 92, 16)
canvas.setLineWidth(4)
canvas.line(0, -1.25 * cm, 21.7 * cm, -1.25 * cm)
def draw_address(canvas):
""" Draws the business address """
canvas.setFont('Helvetica', 9)
textobject = canvas.beginText(13 * cm, -2.5 * cm)
for line in business_details:
textobject.textLine(line)
canvas.drawText(textobject)
def draw_footer(canvas):
""" Draws the invoice footer """
textobject = canvas.beginText(1 * cm, -27 * cm)
for line in note:
textobject.textLine(line)
canvas.drawText(textobject)
That's it, we're done!
Going forward
Here is a list of things that need to be improved. If you wish to help please submit a pull request or open an issue. It is a small project so should be easy to picked up.
- Remove the need for a user profile.
- Recurring invoice support.
- Replace current invoice customization with something new.
- Improve documentation.
- Improve test coverage.
