One of the most useful parts of ``django.contrib.admin`` is the ability to configure various views that touch and alter data. django-admin2 is a complete rewrite of that library using modern Class-Based Views and enjoying a design focused on extendibility. By starting over, we can avoid the legacy code and make it easier to write extensions and themes.
**Note:** This is pre-alpha and currently non-functional. We'll try and have a rough working prototype by the end of May 18th, 2013.
Contributing
=============
Yes please! Please read our formal contributing document at: https://github.com/pydanny/django-admin2/blob/master/docs/contributing.rst
Requirements
=============
* Django 1.5+
* Python 2.7+ (Python 3.3+ support is pending)
* django-braces
* django-rest-framework
* Sphinx (for documentation)
Basic Pattern
==============
Our goal is to make this API work:
.. code-block:: python
# Import your custom models
from .models import Post, Comment
from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm, UserChangeForm
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
import djadmin2
from djadmin2.models import ModelAdmin2
class UserAdmin2(ModelAdmin2):
create_form_class = UserCreationForm
update_form_class = UserChangeForm
# Register each model with the admin
djadmin2.default.register(Post)
djadmin2.default.register(Comment)
djadmin2.default.register(User, UserAdmin2)
Themes
========
The default theme is whatever bootstrap is most current. Specifically:
.. code-block:: python
ADMIN2_THEME_DIRECTORY = "admin2/bootstrap/"
If you create a new theme, please define it thus:
.. code-block:: python
ADMIN2_THEME_DIRECTORY = "admin2/foundation/"
REST API
==========
We plan to expose a REST API using Django Rest Framework. From this, you can define new themes powered by the client framework of your choice.
