Django Dynamic Datatables

Django Dynamic DataTables

Simple tool that Generates Secure APIs on top of DRF with minimum effort - actively supported by AppSeed.

Features

• DataTables provided by Simple DataTables
• Minimal Configuration (single line in config for each model)
• Handles any model defined across the project

How to use it

Step #1 - Install the package

$ pip install django-dynamic-datatb
// OR
$ pip install git+https://github.com/app-generator/django-dynamic-datatb.git

Step #2 - Update Configuration, add new imports

import os, inspect
import django_dyn_dt

Step #3 - Update Configuration, include the new APPs

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'django_dyn_dt',  # <-- NEW App
]

Step #4 - Update Configuration, include the new TEMPLATES DIR

TEMPLATE_DIR_DATATB = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "django_dyn_dt/templates") # <-- NEW App

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        "BACKEND": "django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates",
        "DIRS": [TEMPLATE_DIR_DATATB],                                  # <-- NEW Include
        "APP_DIRS": True,
        "OPTIONS": {
        },
    },
]

Step #5 - Update Configuration, update STATICFILES_DIRS DIR

DYN_DB_PKG_ROOT = os.path.dirname( inspect.getfile( django_dyn_dt ) ) # <-- NEW App

STATICFILES_DIRS = (
    os.path.join(DYN_DB_PKG_ROOT, "templates/static"),
)

Step #6 - Register the model in core/settings.py (DYNAMIC_DATATB section)

This sample code assumes that app1 exists and model Book is defined and migrated.

DYNAMIC_DATATB = {
    # SLUG -> Import_PATH 
    'books'  : "app1.models.Book",
}

Step #7 - Update routing, include APIs

from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include         # <-- NEW: 'include` directive added

urlpatterns = [
    path("admin/", admin.site.urls),
    path('', include('django_dyn_dt.urls')),  # <-- NEW: API routing rules
]    

Step #8 - Use the Dynamic Datatable module

If the managed model is Books, the dynamic interface is /datatb/books/ and all features available.
