history compare for django-reversion
Project description
django-reversion-compare is an extension to django-reversion that provides a history compare view to compare two versions of a model which is under reversion.
Comparing model versions is not a easy task. Maybe there are different view how this should looks like. This project will gives you a generic way to see whats has been changed.
Many parts are customizable by overwrite methods or subclassing, see above.
installation
Just use:
pip install django-reversion-compare
Optional you can install google-diff-match-patch otherwise difflib would be used. The easiest way it to use the unofficial package diff-match-patch, e.g.:
pip install diff-match-patch
setup
Add reversion_compare to INSTALLED_APPS in your settings.py, e.g.:
INSTALLED_APPS = (
'django...',
...
'reversion', # https://github.com/etianen/django-reversion
'reversion_compare', # https://github.com/jedie/django-reversion-compare
...
)
usage
Inherit from CompareVersionAdmin instead of VersionAdmin to get the compare feature.
admin.py e.g.:
from django.contrib import admin
from reversion_compare.admin import CompareVersionAdmin
from my_app.models import ExampleModel
class ExampleModelAdmin(CompareVersionAdmin):
pass
admin.site.register(ExampleModel, ExampleModelAdmin)
customize
It’s possible to change the look for every field or for a entire field type. You must only define a methods to your admin class with this name scheme:
"compare_%s" % field_name
"compare_%s" % field.get_internal_type()
If there exist no method with this name scheme, the fallback_compare() method would be used.
example for specify a compare method for a model field by name:
class YourAdmin(CompareVersionAdmin):
def compare_foo_bar(self, obj_compare):
""" compare the foo_bar model field """
return "%r <-> %r" % (obj_compare.value1, obj_compare.value2)
test
We ship a simple test project. To use this, do this steps:
$ cd path/to/django-reversion-compare/reversion_compare_test_project/ django-reversion-compare/reversion_compare_test_project$ ./reset.sh # creates test.db3 with syncdb and run createsuperuser django-reversion-compare/reversion_compare_test_project$ ./manage.py runserver --traceback
