Django admin classes that allow for nested inlines

Reason this release was yanked:

Release did not include intended bugfix

Project description

build_badge coverage_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 3.2+ and Python 3.7+ 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:

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

If you’re using django-grappelli, you will also need to add to include nested_admin.urls in your urlpatterns:

urlpatterns = [
    # ...
    path('_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 pytest 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 --selenosis-driver=chrome to pytest or, if running with tox, running tox -- --selenosis-driver=chrome. See pytest --help for a complete list of the options available.
