Quick start

1. Add “action_set” to your INSTALLED_APPS setting like this:

   INSTALLED_APPS = (
       ...
       'action_set',
   )

2. ActionSet. Prepare base action-set, for example we’ll use built-in ActionSetWithPermissionCheck:

   class BaseActionSet(ActionSetWithPermissionCheck):
   
       protect_css_class: str = 'protected-element'
       elements_permissions = {
           'action_1': ['change_status'],  # - for search in user permissions
           'action_2': ['edit']
       }
   
       def get_user_permissions(self) -> list:
           return User.objects.filter(pk=self.request.user.pk).values_list('user_roles__permissions__name', flat=True)
   
       def check_permissions(self) -> None:
           if not self.request.user.is_superuser:
               return super().check_permissions()

3. Write custom action-set:

   class MyActionSet(BaseActionSet):
   
       template = 'action_set/my_action_set.html'
   
       action_1 = ActionButton(
           'Action 1', css_classes=['js-post_content_btn'],
           html_params={
               'type': 'button',
               'data-url': reverse('app:action_1'),
           }
       )
       action_2 = ActionButton(
           'Action 2', css_classes=['js-load_content_btn'],
           html_params={
               'type': 'button'
           }
       )
   
       def __init__(self, instance, *args, **kwargs)
           self.instance = instance  # type: MyModel
           super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
           self.actions['action_2'].html_params.update({'data-url': reverse('app:action_2', self.instance.pk)})

4. Write view, use ActionSetMixinView to construct view:

   class MyViewWithActionSet(ActionSetMixinView, TemplateView):
       ...
       template_name = 'my_view_template.html'
       action_set_class = MyActionSet
       ...
   
       def get_action_set_kwargs(self, **kwargs) -> dict:
           return super().get_action_set_kwargs(instance=get_object_or_404(MyModel, pk=self.kwargs['pk']), **kwargs)

5. Prepare template:

   <!-- action_set/my_action_set.html -->
   ...
   <div class="action-set action-set__my-action-set">
       <div class="action-set__info">
           <i class="material-icons">landscape</i>
           <span>Action Set Test</span>
       </div>
       <div class="action-set__toolbar">
           {% for action in action_set %}
               {{ action }}
           {% endfor %}
       </div>
   </div>
   ...

6. In the template of the view call render method:

   <!-- my_view_template.html -->
   ...
   <div>{{ action_set.render }}</div>
   ...

7. ActionSetGroup. Setup group and instantiate action-sets:

   class CustomActionSetGroup(ActionSetGroup):
   
       action_set_1 = MyActionSet1
       action_set_2 = MyActionSet2

8. Use ActionSetGroupMixinView to construct custom mixin and view like we did it with ActionSetMixinView. Next setup is same as for the ActionSet:

   class MyView(CustomActionSetGroupMixinView, TemplateView):
   
       action_set_group_class = CustomActionSetGroup
       template_name = 'my_awesome_page.html'

9. In template:

   ...
   <div>
       {{ action_set_group.action_set_1.render }}
   </div>
   <div>
       {{ action_set_group.action_set_2.render }}
   </div>
   ...

10 ActionSetMenuMixin. You can building menus by using ActionSetMenuMixin (automatic tabs highlight support). Note: prepare template as was shown for the simple ActionSet:

class MyDetailsMenu(ActionSetMenuMixin, ActionSet or use ActionSetWithPermissionCheck):

    url_attribute_name: str = 'data-url'       # attribute for comparing with current request.path
    activate_class: str = 'active'             # class for active button
    template = 'action_set/details_menu.html'

    menu_tab_1 = ActionButton(
        'TAB1', css_classes=['js-menu-btn'],
        html_params={
            'type': 'button',
            'data-container': '.js-my_content',
            'data-url': reverse_lazy('app:tab_1')
        }
    )
    menu_tab_2 = ActionButton(
        'TAB2', css_classes=['js-menu-btn'],
        html_params={
            'type': 'button',
            'data-container': '.js-my_content',
            'data-url': reverse_lazy('app:tab_2')
        }
    )
    # ... etc.

11 BreadcrumbsSet. You can use this Action Set for building breadcrumbs. Prepare custom BreadcrumbsSet:

class MyBreadcrumbsSet(BreadcrumbsSet):

    template = 'my_breadcrumbs.html'
    active_crumb_css_class = 'active-breadcrumb'     # for highlight

    crumb1 = ActionButton(
        'Crumb1',
        html_params={
            'data-url': reverse_lazy('app:tab1'),
            'data-container': '.js-dispatcher-content'
        }
    )
    crumb2 = ActionButton(
        'Crumb2',
        html_params={
            'data-url': reverse_lazy('app:tab2'),
            'data-container': '.js-dispatcher-content'
        }
    )
    # ... etc.

12 Prepare yor view for showing breadcrumbs - use BreadcrumbsMixinView:

class MyView(BreadcrumbsMixinView, TemplateView):

    breadcrumbs_set_class = MyBreadcrumbsSet
    template_name = 'my_awesome_page.html'

    breadcrumbs_set = ['crumb1', '*crumb2']  # use '*' symbol for showing active breadcrumb.

13 Prepare template:

<!-- my_breadcrumbs.html -->

{% load dev_tools %}

<div class="action-set action-set__breadcrumbs">
    {% for action in action_set %}
        {{ action|tweak_parameter:'class: mdl-button' }}
        {% if not forloop.last %}
            <span class="breadcrumbs-separator">></span>
        {% endif %}
    {% endfor %}
</div>
