iommi

Your first pick for a django power cord

iommi is a Django-based framework that magically create pages, forms and tables with advanced out-of-the-box functionality based on your applications models - without sacrificing flexibility and control.

Major features:

• A system to project django model definitions into more high level definitions

• Forms: view models, data validation, and parsing

• Queries: filtering lists/query sets

• Tables: view models for lists/query sets, html tables, and CSV reports

• Pages: compose pages from parts like forms, tables and html fragments

All the components are written with the same philosophy of:

• Everything has a name

• Traversing a namespace is done with __ when . can’t be used in normal python syntax

• Callables for advanced usage, values for the simple cases

• Late binding

• Declarative/programmatic hybrid API

• Prepackaged commonly used patterns (that can still be customized!)

• Single point customization with no boilerplate

• Escape hatches included

See philosophy for explanations of all these.

Example:

class IndexPage(Page):
    title = html.h1('Supernaut')
    welcome_text = 'This is a discography of the best acts in music!'

    artists = Table(auto__model=Artist, page_size=5)
    albums = Table(
        auto__model=Album,
        page_size=5,
    )
    tracks = Table(auto__model=Album, page_size=5)


urlpatterns = [
    path('', IndexPage().as_view()),
]

This creates a page with three separate tables, a header and some text:
