This package marries Django with CodeMirror
Project description
This package marries Django with CodeMirror. It provides (1) a customisable form widget, and (2) a shorthand way to use this widget in the admin. In both cases the relevant static files (including mode/theme/addon files) are automatically included as form assets.
installation
This is a Python 3 package with no other dependencies apart from Django and it is offered at the Cheese Shop:
# usually inside a virtual environment
pip install django-mirror
The CodeMirror files (version 5.63.3) are included in the package. The supported Django versions are 2.2, 3.0, 3.1, and 3.2.
settings
# add 'django_mirror' to your INSTALLED_APPS if you want the package to be
# handled by Django's collectstatic command
INSTALLED_APPS += ['django_mirror']
# use DJANGO_MIRROR_DEFAULTS to specify default options for your widgets
# see the next section for more info about the options
DJANGO_MIRROR_DEFAULTS = {
'mode': 'rst',
'addons': ['mode/overlay'],
'line_wrapping': True,
}
widget
Bascially this package provides a form widget called MirrorArea that extends Django’s Textarea widget.
from django import forms
from django_mirror.widgets import MirrorArea
class CommentForm(forms.Form):
text = forms.CharField(
widget=MirrorArea(
attrs={'rows': 20}, # the parent class' attrs still works
mode='markdown', # the other kwargs are forwarded to CodeMirror
)
)
The MirrorArea widget can be initialised with the following arguments:
Any of CodeMirror’s config options. These can be specified in either camelCase or snake_case (e.g. both tabSize and tab_size would work). The css/js files associated with the mode, if provided, are included as form assets.
addons, a list of CodeMirror addons, e.g. dialog/dialog. The css/js files associated with the addons are recursively included as form assets.
attrs, just as Django’s form widgets.
The addons and config options are merged with and override DJANGO_MIRROR_DEFAULTS if the setting has been defined.
admin
If you want to use the widget in the admin panel, you can subclass the MirrorAdmin mixin, which provides the mirror_fields model admin option:
from django.contrib import admin
from django_mirror.admin import MirrorAdmin
from weblog.models import Comment
@admin.register(Comment)
class CommentAdmin(MirrorAdmin, admin.ModelAdmin):
mirror_fields = ('comment',) # default options
mirror_fields = ( # with custom options
('comment', {
'mode': 'markdown',
'line_wrapping': True,
}),
)
The mixin also includes a bit of css to make CodeMirror look more like regular admin textarea fields.
