Get all your project models on one single page with charts and whistles.
Attention!
Unfortunately, I have no time to add new features. Please make PR if you need one:
branch from master
provide tests
add docs
update changelog
That’s it.
Rationale
Django-admin is a great tool to control your project activity: new orders, comments, replies, users, feedback – everything is here. The only struggle is to switch between all those pages constantly just to check them out for new entries.
With django-controlcenter you can have all of your models on one single page and build beautiful charts with Chartist.js. Actually they don’t even have to be a django models, get your data from wherever you want: RDBMS, NOSQL, text file or even from an external web-page, it doesn’t matter.
Quickstart
Install django-controlcenter:
pip install -U django-controlcenterCreate a dashboard file with unlimited number of widgets and dashboards:
from controlcenter import Dashboard, widgets
from project.app.models import Model
class ModelItemList(widgets.ItemList):
model = Model
list_display = ('pk', 'field')
class MyDashboard(Dashboard):
widgets = (
ModelItemList,
)Update settings file:
INSTALLED_APPS = [
...
'controlcenter',
...
]
CONTROLCENTER_DASHBOARDS = (
('mydash', 'project.dashboards.MyDashboard'),
)Plug in urls:
from django.urls import path
from django.contrib import admin
from controlcenter.views import controlcenter
urlpatterns = [
path('admin/dashboard/', controlcenter.urls),
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
...
]Open /admin/dashboard/mydash/ in browser.
