django-auto-actions 1.0.0

Automatically generates Django admin actions based on your model's fields

Django Auto Actions

Automatically generates basic Django admin actions based on your models' fields

Installation

Install the package using pip

pip install django-auto-actions

Usage

There are two ways to integrate django-auto-actions into your project:

1. Using AutoActionsMixin (recommended way)

from django.contrib.admin import ModelAdmin
from django_auto_actions import AutoActionsMixin


@admin.register(YourModel)
class YourModelAdmin(AutoActionsMixin, ModelAdmin):
    ...

2. Using AutoActionsModelAdmin instead of ModelAdmin

from django_auto_actions import AutoActionsModelAdmin


@admin.register(YourModel)
class YourModelAdmin(AutoActionsModelAdmin):
    ...

With either method, django-auto-actions will automatically generate admin actions for your model's BooleanFields, DateTimeFields, DateFields and TimeFields.

To exclude certain fields from having automatic admin actions generated, set the exclude_auto_actions class-level attribute.

@admin.register(YourModel)
class YourModelAdmin(AutoActionsMixin, ModelAdmin):
    exclude_auto_actions = ["is_example", "created_at"]

Example

Here's an example of what it might look like for a simple Homework model:

And will display a success message like this:

Running Tests

pip install -r requirements.txt
docker compose up -d
python runtests.py
