Installation

pip install django-crudbuilder

Usage

Add "crudbuilder" to INSTALLED_APPS

INSTALLED_APPS = {
    ...
    'django_tables2',
    'crudbuilder'
}

LOGIN_REQUIRED_FOR_CRUD = True/False
PERMISSION_REQUIRED_FOR_CRUD = True/False
PROJECT_NAME = 'YOUR PROJECT NAME'

Create models in yourapp/models.py

class Person(models.Model):
    """ an actual singular human being """
    name = models.CharField(blank=True, max_length=100)
    email = models.EmailField()
    created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)
    created_by = models.ForeignKey(User, blank=True, null=True)

    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.name

Create CRUD for Person model in yourapp/crud.py

from crudbuilder.abstract import BaseCrudBuilder
from yourapp.models import Person

class PersonCrud(BaseCrudBuilder):
    model = Person
    search_fields = ['name']
    tables2_fields = ('name', 'email')
    tables2_css_class = "table table-bordered table-condensed"
    tables2_pagination = 20  # default is 10
    modelform_excludes = ['created_by', 'updated_by']
    login_required=True
    permission_required=True
    # permissions = {
    #   'list': 'example.person_list',
    #   'create': 'example.person_create'
    # }

Open yourapp/urls.py and add the following

from crudbuilder import urls

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
    url(r'^crud/',  include(urls)),
]

View All your registered CRUDS

http://127.0.0.1:8000/crud/

Now you can access the below CRUD URLS

- http://127.0.0.1:8000/crud/yourappname/yourmodelname
- http://127.0.0.1:8000/crud/yourappname/yourmodelname/create/
- http://127.0.0.1:8000/crud/yourappname/yourmodelname/<pk>/detail/
- http://127.0.0.1:8000/crud/yourappname/yourmodelname/<pk>/update/
- http://127.0.0.1:8000/crud/yourappname/yourmodelname/<pk>/delete/

LOGIN REQUIRED

To enable global login required for all the models CRUD views, add the following to settings file

LOGIN_REQUIRED_FOR_CRUD = True

If you want to enable login required only for specific model crud, then you need to add following to crud class

# myapp/crud.py
login_required = True

PERMISSION REQUIRED

To enable global permission required for all the models CRUD views, add the following to settings file

PERMISSION_REQUIRED_FOR_CRUD = True

If you want to enable permission required only for specific model crud, then you need to add following to crud class

# myapp/crud.py
permission_required = True

By enabling either of above flag, crudbuilder by default checks for following permissions:

- For ListView   : <your app_name>.<your model>_list
- For CreateView : <your app_name>.<your model>_create
- For DetailView : <your app_name>.<your model>_detail
- For UpdateView : <your app_name>.<your model>_update
- For DeleteView : <your app_name>.<your model>_delete

If you want to add your own permissions, then define your own permission required dictionary explicitly in CRUD class.

permissions = {
    'list'  : 'example.permission1',
    'create': 'example.permission2'
    'detail': 'example.permission3',
    'update': 'example.permission4',
    'delete': 'example.permission5',
    }

EXTRA TEMPLATE VARIABLES

Added mixin which allows access to additional template variables like app lable and model name in every template.

APP : {{app_label}}
MODEL : {{actual_model_name}}
PLURIZED MODEL : {{pluralized_model_name}}
