Django admin classes that allow for nested inlines
Project description
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.
