![demo-view](https://github.com/blasferna/django-crispy-formset-modal/assets/8385910/8ee06376-e166-446c-9743-3bdbcaadf0d8)


## Features

* Dynamic formset operations: Add, edit, and delete formsets dynamically in a modal on the frontend.
* Generates an HTML table according to the layout definition, allowing you to determine which fields to display as columns.
* Provides the option to define which numeric fields will be used for a totalizer at the footer of the corresponding field's column.
* Enables mass deletion of records from the HTML table, thanks to the generation of a selection column with checkboxes that can be selected individually or collectively to delete multiple records at once.
* Offers support for various templates packs, including [Bootstrap 4](https://github.com/django-crispy-forms/crispy-bootstrap4), [Bootstrap 5](https://github.com/django-crispy-forms/crispy-bootstrap5), [Tailwind](https://github.com/django-crispy-forms/crispy-tailwind), and [Bulma](https://github.com/ckrybus/crispy-bulma).

### Running the Demo App Locally

If you'd like to run the demo application on your local machine. Please follow the steps below:

#### Instructions

First, you need to have `uv` installed. If you don't have it, you can install it following the [official instructions](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/).

1. Clone this repository:

    ```
    git clone https://github.com/blasferna/django-crispy-formset-modal.git
    cd django-crispy-formset-modal
    ```

2. Set up the project environment:

    ```
    uv sync --dev
    ```
    This single command will:
    - Create a virtual environment in `.venv` if one doesn't exist.
    - Install all project and development dependencies specified in `pyproject.toml` into the environment.


3. Run development tasks with `uv run`:

    The `uv run` command executes scripts within the project's virtual environment, so you don't need to activate it manually.

    Apply database migrations:
    ```shell
    uv run python manage.py migrate
    ```

    Start the local development server:
    ```shell
    uv run python manage.py runserver
    ```
