django-admin-list-charts

Super simple bar charts for django admin list views visualizing the number of objects based on date_hierarchy using Chart.js.

This package serves as a ready-made drop-in solution with Chart.js included. This way you can super-charge your django admin with date-based bar charts in less than a minute :)

Examples

Requirements

• Python>=3.12,<3.15
• Django>=5,<7

Compatibility update

This release updates package metadata for modern supported runtimes and is intended for Django 5.x-6.x projects running on Python 3.12-3.14.

Installation

1. Install Django admin list charts from PyPI by using pip:

   pip install django-admin-list-charts

2. Add 'admin_list_charts' entry to Django INSTALLED_APPS setting.

3. Sprinkle some ListChartMixin over every admin class where you want to display charts in the admin list view. For example:

    ...
    from admin_list_charts.admin import ListChartMixin
    
    @admin.register(Foo)
    class FooAdmin(ListChartMixin, admin.ModelAdmin):
	    date_hierarchy = 'created'
	    ...

4. Done!

This rather pragmatic solution was heavily inspired by the work of Dani Hodovic (see https://findwork.dev/blog/adding-charts-to-django-admin/).
