iommi is a high level framework built on django
Project description
iommi is a django-based framework for even higher abstraction and faster development than django itself.
Major features:
A system to project django model definitions into more high level definitions
Forms: view models, data validation, and parsing
Queries: filtering lists/query sets
Tables: view models for lists/query sets, html tables, and CSV reports
Pages: compose pages from parts like forms, tables and html fragments
All the components are written with the same philosophy of:
Everything has a name
Traversing a namespace is done with __ when . can’t be used in normal python syntax
Callables for advanced usage, values for the simple cases
Late binding
Declarative/programmatic hybrid API
Prepackaged commonly used patterns (that can still be customized!)
Single point customization with no boilerplate
Escape hatches included
See philosophy for explanations of all these.
Example:
def music_page(request):
class MusicPage(Page):
musicians = Table(
auto__model=Musician,
)
albums = Table(
auto__model=Album,
)
return MusicPage()
This creates a page with two separate tables, one for the model Musician
and one for the model Album
.
