Introduction

I once worked on a project where user interactions about business entities needed to be recorded, in a detailed and consistent manner, in the database for auditing reasons. When a user changed the state of an object, the change, along with its author and time, should be saved. Furthermore, the object in question should be easily located. As I came up with a conveniently generic solution, I decided to turn this into a reusable application for Django projects.

Currently it works only in Django REST Framework projects, and with ModelViewSets, but in the future I plan to support Django CBVs and view functions as well.

Features

• Track users interations with any model of your project in a generic way;
• Retrive and protect this information;
• Use the full capabilities of the Django ORM to gather information about what a specific user did to an object, what users interacted with it, and more!
