# django-dynamic-admin-forms | ||
|
||
Add simple interactions to the otherwise static django admin. | ||
|
||
[![demo.gif](https://i.postimg.cc/YCf7LV2m/demo.gif)](https://postimg.cc/Yv9ZJdWp) | ||
|
||
## Installation | ||
|
||
- Install the package via pip: | ||
|
||
```pip install django-dynamic-admin-forms``` | ||
|
||
or via pipenv: | ||
|
||
```pipenv install django-dynamic-admin-forms``` | ||
- Add the module to `INSTALLED_APPS`: | ||
```python | ||
INSTALLED_APPS = ( | ||
..., | ||
'django_dynamic_admin_forms', | ||
'django.contrib.admin' | ||
... | ||
) | ||
``` | ||
Ensure that the `dynamic_admin_forms` comes before the | ||
default `django.contrib.admin` in the list of installed apps, | ||
because otherwise the templates, which are overwritten by `dynamic_admin_forms` | ||
won't be found. | ||
- Ensure that the `dynamic_admin_forms` templates are found via using `APP_DIRS` setting: | ||
```python | ||
TEMPLATES = [ | ||
{ | ||
'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates', | ||
'APP_DIRS': True, | ||
... | ||
}, | ||
] | ||
``` | ||
- Run `python manage.py collectstatic` to include this apps Javascript code in your `settings.STATIC_ROOT` directory | ||
|
||
## Usage | ||
- Add the `django_dynamic_admin_forms.DynamicModelAdminMixin` to your admin classes | ||
- Add the `django_dynamic_admin_forms.urls` to your urls | ||
```python | ||
from django.contrib import admin | ||
from django.urls import path, include | ||
|
||
urlpatterns = [ | ||
path("admin/", admin.site.urls), | ||
path("dynamic-admin-form/", include("django_dynamic_admin_forms.urls")), | ||
] | ||
``` | ||
- In addition to the standard `fields` declaration, specify a list of `dynamic_fields` | ||
- For each dynamic field, add a method `get_dynamic_{field_name}_field` to the admin | ||
- Input: `data: Dict[str, Any]` - the cleaned form data | ||
- Output: | ||
- `queryset: Optional[Queryset]` - The values to select from | ||
- `value: Any` - The value, the field should have (must be compatible to the field type) | ||
- `hidden: Bool` - True, if field should be hidden | ||
|
||
- A rather non-sensical example: | ||
```python | ||
from django.contrib import admin | ||
|
||
from .models import MyModel | ||
from django_dynamic_admin_forms.admin import DynamicModelAdminMixin | ||
|
||
|
||
@admin.register(MyModel) | ||
class MyModelAdmin(DynamicModelAdminMixin, admin.ModelAdmin): | ||
fields = ("name", "city") | ||
dynamic_fields = ("city",) | ||
|
||
def get_dynamic_city_field(self, data): | ||
# automatically choose first city that matches first letter of name | ||
name = data.get("name") | ||
if not name: | ||
queryset = City.objects.all() | ||
value = data.get("city") | ||
else: | ||
queryset = City.objects.filter(name__startswith=name[0]) | ||
value = queryset.first() | ||
hidden = not queryset.exists() | ||
return queryset, value, hidden | ||
``` | ||
|
||
|
||
## How it works | ||
Whenever a dynamic form changes, an event handler makes a request to a special endpoint, which returns new HTML to swap | ||
into the existing form. This new HTML is directly generated by `django.contrib.admin`, so we only have to set the | ||
outerHTML of the correct HTML elements to update the form. | ||
|
||
## Limitations | ||
- does not work in conjunction with inlines | ||
- does not validate that the selected value is really part of the original queryset | ||
- if anybody can modify your DOM, they could potentially inject invalid values | ||
- you have to write `Model.clean()` methods to guard against that | ||
- only tested with Django 3.2 | ||
|
||
## Development | ||
|
||
For local development, create a virtual environment | ||
in the `testproj` folder: | ||
```shell | ||
$ cd testproj | ||
$ python3 -m venv .venv | ||
$ source .venv/bin/activate | ||
$ cd .. | ||
$ flit install --symlink | ||
``` | ||
Now the package should be available in your virtual environment | ||
and any changes should be directly visible. | ||
|
||
Alternatively, copy the directory `dynamic_admin_forms` | ||
into any normal django project, so that the python interpreter | ||
finds the local version instead of the installed (old) version. | ||
|
||
## Running E2E tests | ||
|
||
To run end-to-end tests locally: | ||
```shell | ||
$ cd testproj | ||
$ python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000 & # start server | ||
$ python manage.py loaddata fixtures/fixtures-dev.json | ||
$ cd ../e2e | ||
$ yarn install # or npm install (only needed first time) | ||
$ yarn cypress # or npm run cypress | ||
``` |
