django-quickview 0.1

Simple reusable package for quick scaffolding and basic views based on a given model.

QuickView is sort of a class based view on steriods, which handles basic scaffolding and basic views in very few lines of code. Take a look at quickview/__init__.py to look at what to override. The main job is creating necessary templates.

NB! This is a proof-of-concept-release and has ONLY been tested under Python 3.3 and Django 1.5b2.

Quick start

0. pip install django-quickview.

1. Add “quickview” to your INSTALLED_APPS setting like this:

   INSTALLED_APPS = (
       ...
       'quickview',
   )

2. In your views.py do:

   import quickview

   class YourView(quickview.QuickView);

   model = YourModel # points to a model in models.py

3. In your project urls.py do something like this:

   from views import YourView
   urlpattern += YourView.get_urls()

3. Run python manage.py syncdb to create any models.

4. You’ll have to create some templates and put these under yourapp/templates/yourapp/yourmodel or directly in your default templatefolder. The templates are:

   • index.html : lists all your models.

   • detail.html : detail view of one specific instance.

   • add.html : template to add instances.

   • update.html : template to update instances.

   • delete.html : template to delete an instance.

5. Start the development server and visit http://127.0.0.1:8000/yourapp/yourmodel/list/.
