Production use

You probably want to define your own Style in a production scenario. See How to create a Style, and especially the section on how to integrate into an existing code base.

Just like you have your own custom base class for Django’s Model to have a central place to put customization you will want to do the same for the base classes of iommi. In iommi this is even more important since you will almost certainly want to add more shortcuts that are specific to your product.

Copy this boilerplate to some place in your code and import these classes instead of the corresponding ones from iommi:

import iommi


class Page(iommi.Page):
    pass


class Action(iommi.Action):
    pass


class Field(iommi.Field):
    pass


class Form(iommi.Form):
    class Meta:
        member_class = Field
        page_class = Page
        action_class = Action


class Filter(iommi.Filter):
    pass


class Query(iommi.Query):
    class Meta:
        member_class = Filter
        form_class = Form


class Column(iommi.Column):
    pass


class Table(iommi.Table):
    class Meta:
        member_class = Column
        form_class = Form
        query_class = Query
        page_class = Page
        action_class = Action


class EditColumn(iommi.EditColumn):
    pass


class EditTable(iommi.EditTable):
    class Meta:
        member_class = EditColumn
        form_class = Form
        query_class = Query
        page_class = Page
        action_class = Action


class Menu(iommi.Menu):
    pass


class MenuItem(iommi.MenuItem):
    pass

Admin

If you are using the iommi admin you will want to tell it to use your custom classes too:

import iommi.admin

class Admin(iommi.admin.Admin):
    class Meta:
        table_class = EditTable
        form_class = Form
