Simple Django Menus
django-simple-menu is an entirely code based menu system, because, who really wants to define their menus in the django admin...
It's simple to use, yet provides enough flexibility to provide unlimited children menus, per-request generation and checking of menu items, badges, and more.
Quickstart
Using django-simple-menu is easy.
Install django-simple-menu
in your virtualenv and then add menu
to your INSTALLED_APPS
.
Please ensure that you have django.core.context_processors.request
listed in the
TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS
setting.
For each of your own apps that you want to expose a menu create a new file named menus.py
and
define your menus using the Menu
and MenuItem
classes.
In a template you want to render a menu first {% load menu %}
then inside a block call
{% generate_menu %}
and a new varaible named menus
will be added to the context. You can
now iterate over this menus
object to render your menus.
To quickly see everything in action and evaluate django-simple-menut please check out the example project.
