• Requires Python 3.7 or later and Django 2.2 or later

Overview

Django admin is great for creating quick CRUD views for admin users, but is not suitable for end users.

Fastview is inspired by Django admin - write code to manage objects in a few lines, using groups of standard generic views which can be supplemented, overridden or replaced as necessary, and styled and tied into the rest of your site.

Fastview adds a layer of access control to make it straightforward to manage who can access each view, and provides default templates to get you up and running quickly.

It supports inline formsets, with an optional customisable JavaScript library to manage the UI.

Note: this is an alpha release; expect feature and API changes in future versions. Check upgrade notes for instructions when upgrading.

Quickstart

Install using pip:

pip install django-fastview

Add to INSTALLED_APPS:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    "fastview",
]

Use view groups to build a set of CRUD views in one go, or use the views independently:

# views.py
class BlogViewGroup(ModelViewGroup):
    model = Blog
    publish = MyPublishView  # Django view class
    permissions = {
        "index": Public(),
        "detail": Public(),
        "create": Login(),  # Allow any logged in user to create a post
        "update": Staff() | Owner("owner"),  # Allow staff or post owners to edit
        "delete": Django("delete"),  # Only users with the delete permission
        "publish": Staff() & ~Owner("owner"),  # Staff can publish but not their own
    }

# urls.py
urlpatterns = [ # ...
    url(r'^blog/', BlogViewGroup().include(namespace="blog")),
]
