Django generic many-to-many field

Project description

© 2014-2020 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 has been tested with Django 2.2.* and 3.0.* and their matching Python versions (3.5 to 3.8).

If you like django-gm2m and find it useful, you may want to thank me and encourage future development by sending a few mBTC / mBCH / mBSV at this address: 1EwENyR8RV6tMc1hsLTkPURtn5wJgaBfG9.

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

Documentation

The documentation is hosted on readthedocs. You’ll find a quick start and the description of all django-gm2m’s advanced features.
