Package: django-cruds-adminlte
django-cruds-adminlteis simple drop-in django app that creates CRUD (Create, read,
update and delete) views for existing models and apps.django-cruds-adminltegoalis to make prototyping faster.Note: This version ofdjango-cruds-adminlteis based onbmihelac’s one.History and goalDevelopers spends a lot of time just doing cruds,Djangobuilt-inadminwas
pretty and really nice… years ago. Right now customers (and people in
general) are more used to the web and they want to change whatever on their
smartphones, upload images cropping the important part, they’re used toselect2(or similar) in selects with so many options, etc..A friend of mine told me to try backpack for laravel
(https://backpackforlaravel.com/), well in fact he showed me a demo. I was
impressed with what he could do just configuring a bit the models and the forms:Responsive design, more or less I guess you could usedjango-flat-responsivefor thatTabbed forms: really easy to place fields in tabs, imho much more useful for
the end user if the form is complex and has many fields (I’ve found nothing
similar for django’s admin)Wrappable fields: You can define the wrapper of the label+input (col-6,
col-12), so it’s easy to place fields side-by-side or 3 in a row, etc…
You can do the same withdjango-crispy-formsbut I’ve seen no easy way to
integrate it on django’s admin. Note from@spookylukey: There is areally easy wayto put the fields
side-by-side in the django’s contrib admin.Select2for selects with fk, etc… I’ve trieddjango-select2+django-easy-select2with not too much luck (I’m sure
it was my fault), didn’t knowdjango-autocomplete-lighttbh.Lots of widgets depending on the type of field (44+ field types: date, time,
datetime, toggle, video…).Lots of columns - the field representation in a listing table - (images,
data with/without link, buttons, extra buttons…).Reordering - nested sortable - (something similar todjango-mptt)…After seeing all that stuff I felt a bit shocked, started to look for something
similar for django (for the built-in admin or some other piece of code that
gives me something closer). I’ve tried django-material, django-jet, grappelli,
django-adminlte2, djadmin, django-flat-responsive… but in the end I felt that
only a cocktail with some of them could do the job. I did a list of soft and
features (similar to the above’s one) and, in the end, I’ve started to think
that if I had that need, why not to make it public and test if the community
feels same “lacks” than me?. That’s the story behind this project.Crazy? yep, I felt myself really weird after read Jacob’s post
(https://jacobian.org/writing/so-you-want-a-new-admin/) but I needed to make
the project public.FeaturesResponsive design: django-adminlte2Tabbed forms: django-crispy-formsWrappable fields: django-crispy-formsImage cropping: django-image-cropping (custom widget)something for select2 (custom widget)something for other file types (upload, multiple upload, date, time, color
etc…) (custom widgets)Reordering: django-mpttEasy to understand/adapt: A cruds mixin with CBV was a good idea, I’ve
foundhttps://github.com/bmihelac/django-crudsand it rang the definitely
bell hereEasy to extend (anyone could contribute with new widgets or behaviors,
inlines, search, filters…)Online ResourcesCode repositoryDocumentationPypiDjangoPackagesFor reporting a bug useGitHub IssuesScreenshots
