django-treenode

Probably the best abstract model / admin for your tree based stuff.

Features

• Fast - get ancestors, children, descendants, parent, root, siblings, tree with no queries

• Synced - in-memory model instances are automatically updated

• Compatibility - you can easily add treenode to existing projects

• No dependencies

• Easy configuration - just extend the abstract model / model-admin

• Admin integration - great tree visualization: accordion, breadcrumbs or indentation

Simple admin	Accordion admin

Requirements

• Python 2.7, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7

• Django 1.8, 1.9, 1.10, 1.11, 2.0, 2.1

Installation

• Run pip install django-treenode

• Add treenode to settings.INSTALLED_APPS

• Make your model inherit from treenode.models.TreeNodeModel (described below)

• Make your model-admin inherit from treenode.admin.TreeNodeModelAdmin (described below)

• Run python manage.py makemigrations and python manage.py migrate

Configuration

models.py

Make your model class inherit from treenode.models.TreeNodeModel:

from django.db import models

from treenode.models import TreeNodeModel


class Category(TreeNodeModel):

    # the field used to display the model instance
    # default value 'pk'
    treenode_display_field = 'name'

    name = models.CharField(max_length=50)

    class Meta(TreeNodeModel.Meta):
        verbose_name = 'Category'
        verbose_name_plural = 'Categories'

The TreeNodeModel abstract class adds many fields (prefixed with tn_ to prevent direct access) and public methods to your models.

---

admin.py

Make your model-admin class inherit from treenode.admin.TreeNodeModelAdmin.

from django.contrib import admin

from treenode.admin import TreeNodeModelAdmin
from treenode.forms import TreeNodeForm

from .models import Category


class CategoryAdmin(TreeNodeModelAdmin):

    # set the changelist display mode: 'accordion', 'breadcrumbs' or 'indentation' (default)
    # when changelist results are filtered by a querystring,
    # 'breadcrumbs' mode will be used (to preserve data display integrity)
    treenode_display_mode = TreeNodeModelAdmin.TREENODE_DISPLAY_MODE_INDENTATION
    # treenode_display_mode = TreeNodeModelAdmin.TREENODE_DISPLAY_MODE_BREADCRUMBS
    # treenode_display_mode = TreeNodeModelAdmin.TREENODE_DISPLAY_MODE_INDENTATION

    # use TreeNodeForm to automatically exclude invalid parent choices
    form = TreeNodeForm

admin.site.register(Category, CategoryAdmin)
