django-genfkadmin 0.1.0

No frills GenericForeignKeys for your Django Admin

Django GenericFKAdmin

Using GenericForeignKey in your Django models is cool, the default behavior of Django Admin is not. This package allows you to replace the content_type and object_id fields in your admin forms with a single input that is prefilled with only the models related through GenericRelation fields.

Setup

Install

pip install django-genfkadmin

uv add django-genfkadmin

Usage

Using this package is pretty simple.

1. Create a subclass of GenericFKModelForm for your model.
2. Create a subclass of GenericFKAdmin for your model.
3. ???
4. Profit!

e.g. in your admin.py

from genfkadmin.admin import GenericFKAdmin
from genfkadmin.forms import GenericFKModelForm


class PetAdminForm(GenericFKModelForm):

    class Meta:
        model = Pet
        fields = "__all__"


@admin.register(Pet)
class PetAdmin(GenericFKAdmin):
    form = PetAdminForm

A complete example django app exists in this repository at here

Roadmap

1. Implement a filtering callback to further restrict the set of options available in the selector
2. Stacked and Tabular Inline support.
