Quick Start

Admin Utilities

The library provides MediaFancybox class and get_fancybox_image function for enhanced image display in Django admin:

from django.contrib import admin
from django_essentials_kit.admin import MediaFancybox, get_fancybox_image
from .models import YourModel

@admin.register(YourModel)
class YourModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    list_display = ['name', 'image_preview']

    class Media(MediaFancybox):
        ...

    def image_preview(self, obj) -> SafeString:
        return get_fancybox_image(obj, 'image_field', w=60, h=60)

Model Utilities

Use get_object_or_none for safe object retrieval:

from django_essentials_kit.utils import get_object_or_none

from .models import YourModel

# Instead of try/except blocks
obj = get_object_or_none(YourModel, pk=1)
if obj:
    ...  # Do something with obj
