Django generic many-to-many field

© 2014-2015 Thomas Khyn

Django generic many-to-many field implementation.

This django application exposes a GM2MField that combines the features of the standard Django ManyToManyField and GenericForeighKey and that can be used exactly the same way.

It works with Django 1.7 and 1.8 and matching Python versions (2.7 to 3.4).

Features

• Works like the built-in Django related fields

• Creates one table per relation, like ManyToManyField, and not one big table linking anything to anything (django-generic-m2m’s default approach)

• No need to modify nor monkey-patch the existing model classes that need to be linked

• Automatic reverse relations when an instance is added

• Related objects prefetching

• Through models support

• Deletion behaviour customization using signals

• Migrations support
