Probably the best abstract model / admin for your tree based stuff.
- Fast - get
ancestors,children,descendants,parent,root,siblings,treewith no queries - Synced - in-memory model instances are automatically updated
- Compatibility - you can easily add
treenodeto existing projects - No dependencies
- Easy configuration - just extend the abstract model / model-admin
- Admin integration - great tree visualization: accordion, breadcrumbs or indentation
| indentation (default) | breadcrumbs | accordion |
|---|---|---|

- Run
pip install django-treenode - Add
treenodetosettings.INSTALLED_APPS - Make your model inherit from
treenode.models.TreeNodeModel(described below) - Make your model-admin inherit from
treenode.admin.TreeNodeModelAdmin(described below) - Run
python manage.py makemigrationsandpython manage.py migrate
Make your model class inherit from treenode.models.TreeNodeModel:
from django.db import models
from treenode.models import TreeNodeModel
class Category(TreeNodeModel):
# the field used to display the model instance
# default value 'pk'
treenode_display_field = 'name'
name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
class Meta(TreeNodeModel.Meta):
verbose_name = 'Category'
verbose_name_plural = 'Categories'The TreeNodeModel abstract class adds many fields (prefixed with tn_ to prevent direct access) and public methods to your models.
Make your model-admin class inherit from treenode.admin.TreeNodeModelAdmin.
from django.contrib import admin
from treenode.admin import TreeNodeModelAdmin
from treenode.forms import TreeNodeForm
from .models import Category
class CategoryAdmin(TreeNodeModelAdmin):
# set the changelist display mode: 'accordion', 'breadcrumbs' or 'indentation' (default)
# when changelist results are filtered by a querystring,
# 'breadcrumbs' mode will be used (to preserve data display integrity)
treenode_display_mode = TreeNodeModelAdmin.TREENODE_DISPLAY_MODE_ACCORDION
# treenode_display_mode = TreeNodeModelAdmin.TREENODE_DISPLAY_MODE_BREADCRUMBS
# treenode_display_mode = TreeNodeModelAdmin.TREENODE_DISPLAY_MODE_INDENTATION
# use TreeNodeForm to automatically exclude invalid parent choices
form = TreeNodeForm
admin.site.register(Category, CategoryAdmin)You can use a custom cache backend by adding a treenode entry to settings.CACHES, otherwise the default cache backend will be used.
CACHES = {
'default': {
'BACKEND': 'django.core.cache.backends.filebased.FileBasedCache',
'LOCATION': '...',
},
'treenode': {
'BACKEND': 'django.core.cache.backends.locmem.LocMemCache',
},
