            $ python setup.py install
        
        
        Comment Settings and urls:
        --------------------------
        
            1. Add ``comment`` to your installed_apps in your ``settings.py`` file. It should be added after ``django.contrib.auth``.
            2. ``LOGIN_URL`` shall be defined in the settings.
        
        your ``settings.py`` should look like the following:
        
        .. code:: python
        
            INSTALLED_APPS = (
                'django.contrib.admin',
                'django.contrib.auth',
                ...
                'comment',
                ..
            )
        
            LOGIN_URL = 'login'  # or your actual url
        
        In your ``urls.py``:
        
        .. code:: python
        
            urlpatterns = patterns(
                path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
                path('comment/', include('comment.urls')),
                ...
                path('api/', include('comment.api.urls')),  # only for API Framework
                ...
            )
        
        Migrations:
        -----------
        
        Migrate comment app:
        
        ::
        
            $ python manage.py migrate comment
        
        
        .. _Setup:
        
        Setup
        =====
        
        Step 1 - Connecting comment model with the target model
        -------------------------------------------------------
        
        In your models.py add the field ``comments`` as a ``GenericRelation`` field to the required model.
        
        PS: Please note that field name must be ``comments`` **NOT** ``comment``.
        
        E.g. ``Post`` model, as shown below:
        
        .. code:: python
        
            from django.contrib.contenttypes.fields import GenericRelation
            from comment.models import Comment
        
            class Post(models.Model):
                author = models.ForeignKey(User)
                title = models.CharField(max_length=200)
                body = models.TextField()
                # the field name should be comments
                comments = GenericRelation(Comment)
        
        Step 2 - Adding template tags:
        ------------------------------
        
        ``render_comments`` *tag uses 2 required and 2 optional args*:
        
            1. Instance of the targeted model. (**Required**)
            2. Request object. (**Required**)
            3. oauth. (optional - Default is false)
            4. comments_per_page (number of Comments Per Page - Default is 10)
        
        
        .. _Usage:
        
        Usage
        =====
        
        1. Basics usage:
        ----------------
        
        ``include_static`` this tag will include required jquery and javascript file,
        if you already use jquery please make sure it is not the slim version which doesn't support ajax.
        ``include_bootstrap`` tag is for bootstrap-4.1.1, if it’s already included
        in your project, get rid of this tag.
        
        In your template (e.g. post_detail.html) add the following template tags where ``obj`` is the instance of post model.
        
        .. code:: python
        
            {% load comment_tags %}  # Loading the template tag
            {% render_comments obj request %}  # Render all the comments belonging to a passed object
        
        
        **Include static files:**
        
        The ``comment`` app has three template tags for static files that the app requires.
        These tags need to be included in the end of your base template.
        
        
        - **Case 1:** You already have jQuery in your project then the following tags shall be included below jQuery file:
        
        .. code:: html
        
            {% load comment_tags %}  <!-- Loading the template tag -->
        
            <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.3.1.js"></script>
            {% include_static %}  <!-- Include comment.js file only -->
            {% include_bootstrap %}  <!-- Include bootstrap-4.1.1 - remove this line if it is already used in your project -->
        
        
        - **Case 2:** You don't have jQuery in your project then the following tags shall be included:
        
        .. code:: html
        
            {% load comment_tags %}  <!-- Loading the template tag -->
        
            {% include_static_jquery %}  <!-- Include mini jQuery 3.2.1 and required js file -->
            {% include_bootstrap %}  <!-- Include bootstrap 4.1.1 - remove this line if BS 4.1.1 is already used in your project -->
        
        
        2. Advanced usage:
        ------------------
        
        1. Pagination:
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
        
            By default the comments will be paginated, 10 comments per page.
            To disabled the pagination pass ``comments_per_page=None``
            To change the default number, pass ``comments_per_page=number`` to ``render_comments``.
        
            .. code:: html
        
                {% load comment_tags %}  <!-- Loading the template tag -->
        
                {% render_comments obj request comments_per_page=5 %}  <!-- Include all the comments belonging to a certain object -->
                {% include_bootstrap %} <!-- Include bootstrap 4.1.1 - remove this line if BS 4.1.1 is already used in your project -->
                {% include_static %} <!-- Include jQuery 3.2.1 and required js file -->
        
        
        
        2. Integrate user profile:
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
        
            If you have a profile model for the user and you would like to show the
            profile image next to each comment, do the following steps:
        
            - Add ``PROFILE_APP_NAME`` and ``PROFILE_MODEL_NAME`` variables to your ``settings.py`` file.
                e.g if user profile app is called ``accounts`` and profile model is called ``UserProfile``
        
                ``settings.py``:
        
                .. code:: python
        
                    PROFILE_APP_NAME = 'accounts'
                    PROFILE_MODEL_NAME = 'UserProfile' # letter case insensitive
        
        
        
            - Make sure that ``get_absolute_url`` method is defined in your profile model.
        
                .. code:: python
        
                    from django.urls import reverse
        
                    class UserProfile(models.Model):
                        user = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
                        ...
                        ...
        
                        # this method must be defined for appropriate url mapping in comments section
                        def get_absolute_url(self):
                            return reverse('your_profile_url_name')
        
        .. _Enable Flagging:
        
        3. Enable flagging:
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
        
            The comment can be reported by the users.
            This feature can be enabled by adding the ``COMMENT_FLAGS_ALLOWED`` to ``settings.py`` and its value must be greater than 0 (the default).
        
            The comment that has been reported more than the ``COMMENT_FLAGS_ALLOWED`` value, will be hidden from the view.
        
            The default report reasons are:
        
                1. Spam | Exists only to promote a service.
                2. Abusive | Intended at promoting hatred.
                3. Something else. With a message info, this option will be always appended reasons list.
        
            The reasons can be customized by adding ``COMMENT_FLAG_REASONS`` list of tuples to ``settings.py``. E.g.
        
            ``settings.py``
        
            .. code:: python
        
                COMMENT_FLAG_REASONS = [
                    (1, _('Spam | Exists only to promote a service')),
                    (2, _('Abusive | Intended at promoting hatred')),
                    (3, _('Racist | Sick mentality')),
                    (4, _('Whatever | Your reason')),
                    ...
                ]
        
        
        .. _`Web API`:
        
        Web API
        =======
        
        django-comments-dab uses django-rest-framework to expose a Web API that provides
        developers with access to the same functionality offered through the web user interface.
        
        There are 5 methods available to perform the following actions:
        
        
            1. Post a new comment. (Authenticated)
        
            2. Reply to an existing comment. (Authenticated)
        
            3. Edit a comment you posted. (Authenticated)
        
            4. Delete a comment you posted. (Authenticated)
        
            5. React to a comment. (Authenticated)
        
            6. Report a comment. (Authenticated) Flagging system should be enabled
        
            7. Retrieve the list of comments and associated replies to a given content type and object ID.
        
        These actions are explained below.
        
        Setup:
        ------
        
        To integrate the comment API in your content type (e.g Post model), in ``serializers.py``
        for the Post model add comments field as shown below:
        
        
        .. code:: python
        
            from rest_framework import serializers
            from comment.models import Comment
            from comment.api.serializers import CommentSerializer
        
        
            class PostSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
        
                comments = serializers.SerializerMethodField()
        
                class Meta:
                    model = Post
                    fields = (
                        'id',
                        ...
                        ...
                        'comments'
                    )
        
                def get_comments(self, obj):
                    comments_qs = Comment.objects.filter_parents_by_object(obj)
                    return CommentSerializer(comments_qs, many=True).data
        
        
        By default all fields in profile model will be nested inside the user object in JSON response.
        This can only happen if the profile attributes are defined in your ``settings.py``.
        In case you would like to serialize particular fields in the profile model you should explicitly
        declare the ``COMMENT_PROFILE_API_FIELDS`` tuple inside your ``settings.py``:
        
        
        .. code:: python
        
                PROFILE_APP_NAME = 'accounts'
                PROFILE_MODEL_NAME = 'userprofile'
                # the field names below must be similar to your profile model fields
                COMMENT_PROFILE_API_FIELDS = ('display_name', 'birth_date', 'image')
        
        
        Comment API actions:
        --------------------
        
        **1- Retrieve the list of comments and associated replies to a given content type and object ID:**
        
            This action can be performed by providing the url with data queries related to the content type.
        
            Get request accepts 3 params:
        
        
            - ``type``: is the model name of the content type that have comments associated with it.
            - ``id``: is the id of an object of that model
        
        
        
        
            For example if you are using axios to retrieve the comment list of second object (id=2) of a model (content type) called post.
            you can do the following:
        
            ::
        
                $ curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" 'http://localhost:8000/api/comments/?type=MODEL_NAME&id=ID'
        
        
        **2- Create a comment or reply to an existing comment:**
        
            Authorization must be provided as a TOKEN or USERNAME:PASSWORD.
        
            - ``type``: is the model name of the content type that have comments associated with it.
            - ``id``: is the id of an object of that model
            - ``parent_id``: is 0 or **NOT PROVIDED** for parent comments and for reply comments must be the id of parent comment
        
        
            Example: posting a parent comment
        
            ::
        
                $ curl -X POST -u USERNAME:PASSWORD -d "content=CONTENT" -H "Content-Type: application/json" "http://localhost:8000/api/comments/create/?type=MODEL_NAME&id=ID&parent_id=0"
        
        
        **3- Update a comment:**
        
            Authorization must be provided as a TOKEN or USERNAME:PASSWORD.
        
            This action requires the ``comment.id`` that you want to update:
        
        
            ::
        
                $ curl -X PUT -u USERNAME:PASSWORD -d "content=CONTENT" -H "Content-Type: application/json" "http://localhost:8000/api/comments/ID/
        
        
        **4- Delete a comment:**
        
            Authorization must be provided as a TOKEN or USERNAME:PASSWORD.
        
            This action requires the ``comment.id`` that you want to delete:
        
            ::
        
                $ curl -X DELETE -u USERNAME:PASSWORD -H "Content-Type: application/json" "http://localhost:8000/api/comments/ID/
        
        
        **5- React to a comment:**
        
            ``POST`` is the allowed method to perform a reaction on a comment.
        
            Authorization must be provided as a TOKEN or USERNAME:PASSWORD.
        
            This action requires the ``comment.id``. and,
            ``reaction_type``: one of ``like`` or ``dislike``
        
            ::
        
               $ curl -X POST -u USERNAME:PASSWORD -H "Content-Type: application/json" "http://localhost:8000/api/comments/ID/react/REACTION_TYPE/
        
        
            PS: As in the UI, clicking the **liked** button will remove the reaction => unlike the comment. This behaviour is performed when repeating the same post request.
        
        
        **6- Report a comment**
        
            Flagging system must be enabled by adding the attribute ``COMMENT_FLAGS_ALLOWED`` to ``settings.py``. See `Enable Flagging`_
        
            ``POST`` is the allowed method to report a comment.
        
            Authorization must be provided as a TOKEN or USERNAME:PASSWORD.
        
            This action requires the ``comment.id``.
        
            1. Set a flag:
        
            .. code:: python
        
                payload = {
                    'reason': REASON,  # number of the reason
                    'info': ''  # this is required if the reason is 100 ``Something else``
                }
        
            ::
        
               $ curl -X POST -u USERNAME:PASSWORD -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"reason":1, "info":""}' http://localhost:8000/api/comments/ID/flag/
        
        
            2. Un-flag a comment:
        
                To un-flag a FLAGGED comment, set reason value to `0` or remove the payload from the request.
        
            ::
        
            $ curl -X POST -u USERNAME:PASSWORD http://localhost:8000/api/comments/ID/flag/

        Style Customize
        ===============
        
        1- Bootstrap classes:
        ---------------------
        
        BS class used in the default template can be now customized from within your templates directory as follows:
        
            1. Create ``comment`` folder inside your templates directory.
        
            2. Create new template file ``.html`` with the same name of the default template you wish to override BS classes in it.
        
        
        for example to override the BS classes of comment and reply btn do the following:
        
        create ``templates/comment/create_comment.html``
        
        .. code:: python
        
            {% extends "comment/create_comment.html" %}
        
            {% block post_btn_cls %}
            btn btn-primary btn-block btn-sm
            {% endblock post_btn_cls %}

        2- CSS file:
        ------------
        
        If you want to customize the default style of comments app , you can do the following steps:
        
            1. Create a ``comment.css`` file inside your ``static/css`` directory.
        
            2. The new created file will override the original file used in the app.
