django-mav

An implementation of model-attribute-value for Django, without using generic relations.

Installation

1. Install using pip (soon - use GitHub for now):

   pip install django-mav

   Alternatively, you can install download or clone this repo and call pip install -e ..

2. Add to INSTALLED_APPS in your settings.py:

   'mav',

3. In your models, decorate models that need to store model-attribute-values with @mav.

Example code (foo/models.py)

from django.db import models

from mav.decorators import mav

@mav
class Foo(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=100)

# The @mav decorator will generate a FooAttr class in mav.attrs:

class FooAttr(AbstractModelAttribute):
    # Inherited from AbstractModelAttribute
    attribute = models.ForeignKey(Attribute)
    value = models.TextField(...)
    # Generated
    object = models.ForeignKey(Foo, related_name='attrs')
