Description:
djangoautocompletefilter 0.0.8
A django application that lets you use the built in autocomplete function of the
django admin to filter in admin list views by foreign key relations.
Usage
Install the package, for example from PyPi:
pip install django-autocompletefilter
Add autocompletefilter to your INSTALLED_APPS setting.
Create and register a model admin for the model you want to filter by.
Ensure it has search_fields specified for autocomplete to work.
In your second model admin, use the AutocompleteFilterMixin on your class and
add the desired foreign key attribute to filter by to the list_filter
items by using the AutocompleteListFilter class:
from autocompletefilter.admin import AutocompleteFilterMixin
from autocompletefilter.filters import AutocompleteListFilter
class FooAdmin(AutocompleteFilterMixin, admin.ModelAdmin):
list_filter = (
('bar', AutocompleteListFilter),
)
Status of this project
This project is currently using a rather hacky way to implement this.
Caution is advised when using it.
Using multiple autocomplete filters on the same page does work.
Currently only tested on Python 3.6
