django-better-search 0.1.2

A different implementation of Django's admin search

django-better-search

This repo is heavily influenced by django-admin-search and copies some of the components as well.

This repo implements search on Django admin page differently. It generates different search boxes for separate fields and doesn't treat all of those fields as string.

Requirements

This app requires the following:

• Django >= 3.2

Usage

Note: This project is not yet ready for production use.

1. Create a search form to have search fields on your admin page. Example:

from django.forms import CharField, Form, IntegerField


class UserSearchForm(Form):
    name = CharField(required=False, label="User's Name", help_text="Some help_text")
    age = IntegerField(required=False, label="User's Age", help_text="Another help_text")
    ...

2. Use the search form in your AppAdmin in your admin.py. Example:

from django_separate_search.admin import SeparateSearchAdmin


class UserAssessmentAdmin(SeparateSearchAdmin):
    ...
    search_form = UserSearchForm
    ...

This will render your search-form fields on the listview admin page.
