treewidget for django admin
Project description
Provides the model fields TreeForeignKey, TreeOneToOneField, TreeManyToManyField for tree models with a tree widget for django. Uses jstree (thanks to vakata).
Tested with django-mptt and django-treebeard with Django 1.11 & 2.0.2. It will not work with Django <1.11.
Installation
pip install django-treewidget
place 'treewidget' in INSTALLED_APPS
for AJAX tree updates add the routes to your urls.py, e.g. url(r'^treewidget/', include('treewidget.urls'))
Usage
Just replace any foreign key, m2m or one2one tree model field with the provided counterpart.
Customization
The fields understand two additional arguments:
settings: Dictionary containing the optional boolean values for ‘show_buttons’ (shows “Expand”, “Collapse” and “Selected” buttons), ‘search’ (for in-tree search), ‘dnd’ (drag and drop support) and ‘sort’ (apply tree order in frontend). Defaults to {}.
treeoptions: Settings directly applied to jstree. Must be a JSON string, if given as argument to a field, otherwise a python dictionary. Defaults to treewidget.fields.TREEOPTIONS. Note that some widget settings will override treeoptions to keep working.
Both settings can be provided project wide in settings.py as TREEWIDGET_SETTINGS and TREEWIDGET_TREEOPTIONS.
NOTE: To be able to render a correct tree structure the widget code checks for missing ancestors and adds left out nodes. To keep in sync with the real queryset (used for the underlying select options) added nodes are not selectable. Don not use this app if you filter against row based read permissions since it might reveal confident data. This behavior might change with future versions.
Example
from django.db import models
from mptt.models import MPTTModel
from treewidget.fields import TreeForeignKey
class Mptt(MPTTModel):
name = models.CharField(max_length=32)
parent = TreeForeignKey('self', blank=True, null=True, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
def __str__(self):
return self.name
