django-autocompletefilter

A django application that lets you use the built in autocomplete function of the django admin to filter in admin list views by foreign key relations.

Usage

Install the package, for example from PyPi:
```
pip install django-autocompletefilter
```
Add autocompletefilter to your INSTALLED_APPS setting.
Create and register a model admin for the model you want to filter by. Ensure it has search_fields specified for autocomplete to work.

In your second model admin, use the AutocompleteFilterMixin on your class and add the desired foreign key attribute to filter by to the list_filter items by using the AutocompleteListFilter class:

from autocompletefilter.admin import AutocompleteFilterMixin
from autocompletefilter.filters import AutocompleteListFilter

class FooAdmin(AutocompleteFilterMixin, admin.ModelAdmin):
    list_filter = (
        ('bar', AutocompleteListFilter),
    )

Status of this project

This project is currently using a rather hacky way to implement this. Caution is advised when using it.

Using multiple autocomplete filters on the same page does work.

Currently only tested on Python 3.6

Contributing

All suggestions are welcome. Especially about ways to make this cleaner.

Common issues

Reverse for ‘<app_name>_<model_name>_autocomplete’ not found.

The results could not be loaded.

You likely forgot to specify search_fields on your model admin for the model you want to look up.
