Django admin classes that allow for nested inlines

Project description

build_badge docs_badge

django-nested-admin is a project that makes it possible to nest admin inlines (that is, to define inlines on InlineModelAdmin classes). It is compatible with Django 1.8+ and Python versions 2.7 and 3.4+ and works with or without Grappelli. When Grappelli is not installed it allows Grappelli-like drag-and-drop functionality.

Installation

The recommended way to install django-nested-admin is from PyPI:

pip install django-nested-admin

Alternatively, one can install a development copy of django-nested-admin from source:

pip install -e git+git://github.com/theatlantic/django-nested-admin.git#egg=django-nested-admin

If the source is already checked out, use setuptools to install:

python setup.py develop

Configuration

To use django-nested-admin in your project, "nested_admin" must be added to the INSTALLED_APPS in your settings and you must include nested_admin.urls in your django urlpatterns. django-grappelli is an optional dependency of django-nested-admin. If using Grappelli, make sure the appropriate version of Grappelli is installed for your version of Django.

# settings.py

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    # ...
    'nested_admin',
)

# urls.py

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    # ...
    url(r'^nested_admin/', include('nested_admin.urls')),
)

Example Usage

In order to use django-nested-admin, use the following classes in place of their django admin equivalents:

django.contrib.admin

nested_admin

ModelAdmin

NestedModelAdmin

InlineModelAdmin

NestedInlineModelAdmin

StackedInline

NestedStackedInline

TabularInline

NestedTabularInline

There is also nested_admin.NestedGenericStackedInline and nested_admin.NestedGenericTabularInline which are the nesting-capable versions of GenericStackedInline and GenericTabularInline in django.contrib.contenttypes.admin.

# An example admin.py for a Table of Contents app

from django.contrib import admin
import nested_admin

from .models import TableOfContents, TocArticle, TocSection

class TocArticleInline(nested_admin.NestedStackedInline):
    model = TocArticle
    sortable_field_name = "position"

class TocSectionInline(nested_admin.NestedStackedInline):
    model = TocSection
    sortable_field_name = "position"
    inlines = [TocArticleInline]

class TableOfContentsAdmin(nested_admin.NestedModelAdmin):
    inlines = [TocSectionInline]

admin.site.register(TableOfContents, TableOfContentsAdmin)

Testing

django-nested-admin has fairly extensive test coverage. The best way to run the tests is with tox, which runs the tests against all supported Django installs. To run the tests within a virtualenv run python runtests.py from the repository directory. The tests require a selenium webdriver to be installed. By default the tests run with phantomjs, but it is also possible to run the tests with the chrome webdriver by passing --selenium=chrome to runtests.py or, if running with tox, running tox -- --selenium=chrome. See runtests.py --help for a complete list of the options available.

Contributing

This project uses gulp, babel, browserify, and scss for building its javascript and css. To install the dependencies for the build process, run npm install from the root of the repository. You can then run gulp to rebuild the static files, or gulp watch when actively editing these files to detect changes and rebuild automatically.
