django-gm2m 0.4.3

Django generic many-to-many field

© 2014-2016 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 1.8+ and has been tested with the latest minor versions of Python (2.7 and 3.5).

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
