Installation

You can install django-extra-model-fields via pip. Add it to your requirements.txt or install it directly using pip:

pip install django-extra-model-fields

Usage

Adding to Your Django Project

1. Add extra_fields to your INSTALLED_APPS:

   In your Django project's settings.py, add extra_fields to INSTALLED_APPS:

   INSTALLED_APPS = [
       ...
       'extra_fields',
   ]
   

2. Extend Your Models:

   To add extra fields to a model, make your model inherit from ExtraFieldModel:

   from django.db import models
   from extra_fields.models import ExtraFieldModel
   
   class MyModel(ExtraFieldModel):
       name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
   

3. Migrate Your Database:

   Create and apply migrations for the new extra_fields tables:

   python manage.py makemigrations
   python manage.py migrate
   

4. Use the Extra Fields:

   You can now use the set_extra_field, get_extra_field, and delete_extra_field methods to manage extra fields:

   blog = Blog.objects.create(name="Example")
   blog.set_extra_field('color', 'blue')
   color = blog.get_extra_field('color')
   blog.delete_extra_field('color')
   

5. Add Inline editor on Admin panel

   Add ExtraFieldModelInline in inlines of the model Admin

   from django.contrib import admin
   
   from .models import Blog
   from extra_field.admin import ExtraFieldModelInline
   
   class BlogAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
       """Admin for blog model."""
   
       list_display = ('title', 'content')
       inlines = [ExtraFieldModelInline]
   
   admin.site.register(Blog, BlogAdmin)
