django-hidefield 0.1.2

hide fields in django admin

Provides a field base class to hide fields in django admin. The class turns a field label in an admin edit form into a show/hide toggle link.

Tested with Django 1.11.

Installation

• pip install django-hidefield
• place 'hidefield' in INSTALLED_APPS

Usage

Build a custom field class for any model field type you want to hide. The field has an additional argument hide with the following meaning:

• 'closed' : default, the field is hidden at start
• 'data' : the field is hidden at start, if the field contains data
• 'no-data' : the field is hidden at start, if the field contains no data
• 'opened' : (or any other value) the field is shown at start

Example

from django.db import models
from hidefield.fields import HideField


class HideCharField(HideField, models.CharField):
    pass


class MyModel(models.Model):
    name = HideCharField(max_length=32, hide='data')
