Material design for django forms and admin
Project description
Material design for Django Forms and Admin. Template driven.
Overview
Installation
django-material tested with Python 2.7/3.4/3.5, django 1.8, django 1.9:
pip install django-material
Forms
Add material into INSTALLED_APPS settings
INSTALLED_APPS = (
'material',
...
)
Include material javascript and styles along with jQuery into your base template.
{% include 'material/includes/material_css.html' %}
<script src="{% static 'material/js/jquery-2.2.0.js' %}"></script>
{% include 'material/includes/material_js.html' %}
Load the material_form template tag library
{% load material_form %}
And render your form with {% form %} template tag
<form method="POST">
{% csrf_token %}
{% form form=form %}{% endform %}
<button type="submit" name="_submit" class="btn">Submit</button>
</form>
Layout
Layout object is the way to specify relative fields placements and sizes.
from material import *
layout = Layout(
Row('shipment_no', 'description')
Fieldset("Add to inventory",
Row(Span3('product_name'), 'tags'),
Row('vendor', 'product_type'),
Row(Column('sku',
'stock_level',
span_columns=4),
'gender', 'desired_gender'),
Row('cost_price', Span2('wholesale_price'), 'retail_price')))
SpanXX elements are not to material grid classes, but used to determine relative fields width. Each row occupies 12 grid columns. Elements in Row(‘elem1’, ‘elem2’) would be rendered in 6 grid coulmns each, and in Row(Span2(‘elem1’), ‘elem2’) elem1 would be rendered in 8 grid columns, and elem2 in 4 grid columns.
Layouts rendering itself is specified in template.
ModelForm Views
Material forms library provides LayoutMixin for model form views, populates form fields list directly from layout object
from django import generic
from viewform import LayoutMixin
class SampleView(LayoutMixin, generic.ModelFormView):
layout = Layout(...)
Frontend
Frontend template assumes that your application contains a set of top level modules each one could restrict user access level and have own submenu.
To quick start add material.frontend into INSTALLED_APPS settings
INSTALLED_APPS = (
'material',
'material.frontend',
...
)
Add frontend urls into global urlconf module at urls.py
from material.frontend import urls as frontend_urls
urlpatterns = [
...
url(r'', include(frontend_urls)),
]
The fronend module perform all required settings modification (add middleware, context_processors and template tags), automagically till MATERIAL_FRONTEND_AUTOREGISTER settings set to False.
To create a new module add ModuleMixin to your AppConfig definision in apps.py
from material.frontend.apps import ModuleMixin
class Sales(ModuleMixin, AppConfig):
name = 'sales'
icon = '<i class="mdi-communication-quick-contacts-dialer"></i>'
The application have to have <app_module>/urls.py file, with a single no-parametrized url with name=’index’, ex
urlpatterns = [
url('^$', generic.TemplateView.as_view(template_name="sales/index.html"), name="index"),
]
All AppConfigs urls will be included into material.frontend.urls automatically under /<app_label>/ prefix The AppConfig.label, used for the urls namespace.
The menu.html sample
<ul>
<li><a href="{% url 'sales:index' %}">Dashboard</a></li>
<li><a href="{% url 'sales:customers' %}">Customers</a></li>
{% if perms.sales.can_add_lead %}<li><a href="{% url 'sales:leads' %}">Leads</a></li>{% endif %}
</ul>
Admin
Add material.admin into INSTALLED_APPS settings
INSTALLED_APPS = (
'material',
'material.admin',
...
)
NOTE: ‘material.admin’ must be added before ‘django.contrib.admin’
Ensure that django.template.context_processors.request in your template context processor settings list
TEMPLATES = [
{
...
'OPTIONS': {
'context_processors': [
...
'django.template.context_processors.request',
...
],
},
},
]
You can provide a custom admin site module in the MATERIAL_ADMIN_SITE setting
MATERIAL_ADMIN_SITE = 'mymodule.admin.admin_site'
Admin support development is on initial stage. Only basic admin features are available.
