• Python Compatibility: Supports Python 2.7 and Python 3.4+

Installation

Installation using pip:

pip install dj-flexi-tag

Add flexi_tag to your INSTALLED_APPS and run migrations:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    # other apps here...
    'flexi_tag',
)

Testing

Run the tests with:

python runtests.py

Use the --verbose flag for more detailed output:

python runtests.py --verbose

Use the --interactive flag for interactive mode:

python runtests.py --interactive

Basic Usage

1. Define Your Models with FlexiTagMixin

from flexi_tag.utils.models import FlexiTagMixin

class YourModel(FlexiTagMixin):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    # other fields...

2. Generate Tag Models

Run the management command:

python manage.py generate_tag_models

This will create a flexi_generated_model.py file in the same directory as your model, which contains a YourModelTag model. The command will also automatically add the appropriate import statement to your models.py file:

from .flexi_generated_model import YourModelTag  # noqa

If multiple tag models are generated, they will be imported in a single line:

from .flexi_generated_model import FirstModelTag, SecondModelTag  # noqa

3. Create and Apply Migrations

python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate

4. Add Tagging to Your ViewSet

from rest_framework import viewsets
from flexi_tag.utils.views import TaggableViewSetMixin
from .models import YourModel

class YourModelViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet, TaggableViewSetMixin):
    queryset = YourModel.objects.all()
    serializer_class = YourModelSerializer

5. Use the Tagging API

Add a tag:

POST /your-model/1/add_tag/
{"key": "important"}

Add multiple tags:

POST /your-model/1/bulk_add_tag/
{"keys": ["important", "urgent"]}

Remove a tag:

POST /your-model/1/remove_tag/
{"key": "important"}
