Django generic view breadcrumbs

This extends django-bootstrap-breadcrumbs providing generic breadcrumb mixin classes.

This will replace having to add {% breadcrumb $label $viewname [*args] [**kwargs] %} to every template.

Breadcrumb mixin classes provided.

• BaseBreadcrumbMixin - Base view requires a crumbs class property.

• CreateBreadcrumbMixin - For create views Home \ Posts \ Add Post

• DetailBreadcrumbMixin - For detail views Home \ Posts \ Post 1

• ListBreadcrumbMixin - For list views Home \ Posts

• UpdateBreadcrumbMixin - For Update views Home \ Posts \ Post 1 \ Update Post 1

Installation:

$ pip install django-view-breadcrumbs

Add app to your INSTALLED_APPS

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    'view-breadcrumbs',
    ...
]

Usage:

django-view-breadcrumbs includes generic mixins that can be added to a class based view.

Using the generic breadcrumb mixin each breadcrumb will added for each view dynamically using the view model class and can be overridden by providing a crumbs property.

Sample crumbs: Home \ Posts \ Test - Post

from django.views.generic import DetailView
from django_view_breadcrumbs import DetailBreadcrumbMixin


class PostDetail(DetailBreadcrumbMixin, DetailView):
    model = Post
    template_name = 'app/post/detail.html'

In your base.html template simply add the render_breadcrumbs tag and any template that inherits the base should have breadcrumbs included.

{% load django_bootstrap_breadcrumbs %}

{% block breadcrumbs %}
    {% render_breadcrumbs %}
{% endblock %}

All crumbs use the home root path \ as the base this can be excluded by specifying add_home = False

Sample crumbs: Posts

from django.views.generic import ListView
from django_view_breadcrumbs import ListBreadcrumbMixin


class PostList(ListBreadcrumbMixin, ListView):
    model = Post
    template_name = 'app/post/list.html'
    add_home = False

Can also override the view breadcrumb by specifying a list of tuples [(Label, view path)].

Custom crumbs: Home \ My Test Breadcrumb

   path('my-test-list-view/', views.TestView.as_view(), name='test_list_view'),
