A Django reusable app for show and operate custom forms in admin.

The Django Admin is great! But it is highly depends on it's orm.

Data source not supported by Django's orm (e.g, redis, mongodb) can not show in Django's admin site.

This app help you make your data (in redis, mongodb, file...) show in Django's Admin site. Even you can operate with your data. (Add, Modify, Delete)

pip install duckadmin

1. add 'duckadmin' in INSTALLED_APPS

2. define your form. (you can place it in forms.py, models.py, anywhere you like)

   Demonstration ( more details see example )

   from duckadmin import DuckForm
   
   # We define form (not model)
   class MyRedisForm(DuckForm):
       app_label = 'redisapp'              # your app name
       model_name = 'Person'               # link url 
       verbose_name = 'Person'             # name displayed in admin site
       pk_name = 'id'
   
       GENDER = (
           (1, 'male'),
           (2, 'female'),
       )
   
       # fields defined below will show in admin site
       id = forms.IntegerField()
       name = forms.CharField(max_length=32)
       gender = forms.ChoiceField(choices=GENDER)
       age = forms.IntegerField()
   
       # you should implement the api below:
       # `request` is django request instance
   
       @classmethod
       def get_count(cls, request):
           # get count of datasets
           # return integer
   
       @classmethod
       def get_data(cls, request, start, stop):
           # get all data to display in change list page
           # return list of data.
           # data is dict format, key is fields defined above
   
       @classmethod
       def get_data_by_pk(cls, request, pk):
           # change form view
   
       @classmethod
       def create_data(cls, request, data):
           # create new data
   
       @classmethod
       def update_data(cls, request, data):
           # update an exist data

3. define admin. (in file admin.py)

   from django.contrib import admin
   from duckadmin import DuckAdmin
   from redisapp.forms import MyRedisForm
   
   @admin.register(MyRedisForm)
   class MyRedisAdmin(DuckAdmin):
       duck_form = MyRedisForm

After this settings. you will see Person in admin site.

And the change list page

You can add, modify record
