An edit handler for the Wagtail content editor allowing single or multi autocompleted selection of Pages, Snippets, or other models.
The widget is written in React and can be used outside the Wagtail admin, if desired.


Features

A drop-in alternative to PageChooserPanel or SnippetChooserPanel
Create new objects from the autocomplete input if your search turns up blank
React component can be used outside of the Wagtail admin for public-facing forms
Default theme shares the color scheme and styles of the Wagtail admin

Who’s using it?

The U.S. Press Freedom Tracker makes extensive use of this edit handler with its public-facing filters and content editor to rapidly select and create new related metadata objects.



Merge into wagtail/wagtail
Eventually we would like this to be merged into wagtail/wagtail.
This will require some work on the Wagtail API.

Support endpoints for non-Page models
Support standard Django field lookups such as id__in
Create objects from the API
Permission system for non-administrator access to the API
