The Django Admin Generator is a project which can automatically generate (scaffold) a Django Admin for you. By doing this it will introspect your models and automatically generate an Admin with properties like:
- list_display for all local fields
- list_filter for foreign keys with few items
- raw_id_fields for foreign keys with a lot of items
- search_fields for name and slug fields
- prepopulated_fields for slug fields
- date_hierarchy for created_at, updated_at or joined_at fields
- Documentation
- Package homepage
- My blog
To install:
- Run pip install django-admin-generator or execute python setup.py install in the source directory
- Add django_admin_generator to your INSTALLED_APPS
If you want to run the tests, run py.test (requires pytest)
To generate an admin for a given app:
./manage.py admin_generator <APP_NAME> >> <APP_NAME>/admin.py
To generate an admin for a given app with all models starting with user:
./manage.py admin_generator <APP_NAME> '^user' >> <APP_NAME>/admin.py
