Following table -gives overview of all available actions together with their recommended usage: - -| Type of action | Appearance | Usage | Examples of usage | -| -------------- | ---------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | -------------------------------------- | -| Default | List view - top of listing (in dropdown) | Actions, where you want to select specific subset of instances to perform this action upon | Bulk deleting, bulk activation | -| Global | List view - top of listing (as buttons) | General actions for model, without selecting specific instances | Import, export | -| Row | List view - in each row | Action for one specific instance, executable from listing | Activation, sync with external service | -| Detail | Detail view - top of detail | Action for one specific instance, executable from detail | Activation, sync with external service | -| Submit line | Detail view - near submit button | Action performed during form submit (instance save) | Publishing article together with save | - -### Custom unfold @action decorator - -Unfold also uses custom `@action` decorator, supporting 2 more parameters in comparison to base `@action` decorator: - -- `url_path`: Action path name, used to override the path under which the action will be available - (if not provided, URL path will be generated by Unfold) -- `attrs`: Dictionary of the additional attributes added to the `` element, used for e.g. opening action in new tab (`{"target": "_blank"}`) - -### Action handler functions - -This section provides explanation of how the action handler functions should be constructed for Unfold actions. -For default actions, follow official Django admin documentation. - -#### For submit row action - -Submit row actions work a bit differently when compared to other custom Unfold actions. -These actions first invoke form save (same as if you hit `Save` button) and then lets you -perform additional logic on already saved instance. - -#### For global, row and detail action - -All these actions are based on custom URLs generated for each of them. Handler function for these views is -basically function based view. - -For actions without intermediate steps, you can write all the logic inside handler directly. Request and object ID -are both passed to these action handler functions, so you are free to fetch the instance from database and perform any -operations with it. In the end, it is recommended to return redirect back to either detail or listing, based on where -the action was triggered from. - -For actions with intermediate steps, it is recommended to use handler function only to redirect to custom URL with custom -view. This view can be extended from base Unfold view, to have unified experience. - -If that's confusing, there are examples for both these actions in next section. - -### Action examples - -```python -# admin.py - -from django.db.models import Model -from django.contrib.admin import register -from django.shortcuts import redirect -from django.urls import reverse_lazy -from django.utils.translation import gettext_lazy as _ -from django.http import HttpRequest -from unfold.admin import ModelAdmin -from unfold.decorators import action - - -class User(Model): - pass - - -@register(User) -class UserAdmin(ModelAdmin): - actions_list = ["changelist_global_action_import"] - actions_row = ["changelist_row_action_view_on_website"] - actions_detail = ["change_detail_action_block"] - actions_submit_line = ["submit_line_action_activate"] - - @action(description=_("Save & Activate"), permissions=["submit_line_action_activate"]) - def submit_line_action_activate(self, request: HttpRequest, obj: User): - """ - If instance is modified in any way, it also needs to be saved, - since this handler is invoked after instance is saved. - :param request: - :param obj: Model instance that was manipulated, with changes already saved to database - :return: None, this handler should not return anything - """ - obj.is_active = True - obj.save() - - def has_submit_line_action_activate_permission(self, request: HttpRequest, object_id: Union[str, int]): - pass - - @action(description=_("Import"), url_path="import") - def changelist_global_action_import(self, request: HttpRequest): - """ - Handler for global actions does not receive any queryset or object ids, because it is - meant to be used for general actions for given model. - :param request: - :return: View, as described in section above - """ - # This is example of action redirecting to custom page, where the action will be handled - # (with intermediate steps) - return redirect( - reverse_lazy("view-where-import-will-be-handled") - ) - - @action(description=_("Row"), url_path="row-action", attrs={"target": "_blank"}) - def changelist_row_action_view_on_website(self, request: HttpRequest, object_id: int): - """ - Handler for list row action. - :param request: - :param object_id: ID of instance that this action was invoked for - :return: View, as described in section above - """ - return redirect(f"https://example.com/{object_id}") - - @action(description=_("Detail"), url_path="detail-action", attrs={"target": "_blank"}, permissions=["change_detail_action_block"]) - def change_detail_action_block(self, request: HttpRequest, object_id: int): - """ - Handler for detail action. - :param request: - :param object_id: ID of instance that this action was invoked for - :return: View, as described in section above - """ - # This is example of action that handled whole logic inside handler - # function and redirects back to object detail - user = User.objects.get(pk=object_id) - user.block() - return redirect( - reverse_lazy("admin:users_user_change", args=(object_id,)) - ) - - - def has_change_detail_action_block_permission(self, request: HttpRequest, object_id: Union[str, int]): - pass -``` - -### Action with form example - -Below is an example of an action that will display a form after clicking on the action button on the detail object page. - -```python -from django import forms -from django.template.loader import render_to_string -from django.urls import reverse_lazy - -from unfold.widgets import UnfoldAdminTextInputWidget - - -class SomeForm(forms.Form): - # It is important to set a widget coming from Unfold - note = forms.CharField(label=_("Note"), widget=UnfoldAdminTextInputWidget) - - -@register(User) -class UserAdmin(ModelAdmin): - actions_detail = ["change_detail_action_block"] - - @action(description=_("Detail")) - def change_detail_action_block(self, request: HttpRequest, object_id: int) -> str: - form = SomeForm(request.POST or None) - user = User.objects.get(pk=object_id) - - if request.method == "POST" and form.is_valid(): - # Do something with form data - form.cleaned_data["note"] - - return redirect( - reverse_lazy("admin:users_user_change", args=[object_id]) - ) - - return render_to_string("some/template.html", { - "form": form, - }) -``` - -Template displaying the form.

- {% csrf_token %} - - {% for field in form %} - {% include "unfold/helpers/field.html" with field=field %} - {% endfor %} -
-{% endblock %} -``` - -## Filters - -By default, Django admin handles all filters as regular HTML links pointing at the same URL with different query parameters. This approach is for basic filtering more than enough. In the case of more advanced filtering by incorporating input fields, it is not going to work. - -**Note:** when implementing a filter which contains input fields, there is a no way that user can submit the values, because default filters does not contain submit button. To implement submit button, `unfold.admin.ModelAdmin` contains boolean `list_filter_submit` flag which enables submit button in filter form. - -### Text filters - -Text input field which allows filtering by the free string submitted by the user. There are two different variants of this filter: `FieldTextFilter` and `TextFilter`. - -`FieldTextFilter` requires just a model field name and the filter will make `__icontains` search on this field. There are no other things to configure so the integration in `list_filter` will be just one new row looking like `("model_field_name", FieldTextFilter)`. - -In the case of the `TextFilter`, it is needed to write a whole new class inheriting from `TextFilter` with a custom implementation of the `queryset` method and the `parameter_name` attribute. This attribute will be a representation of the search query parameter name in URI. The benefit of the `TextFilter` is the possibility of writing complex queries. - -```python -from django.contrib import admin -from django.contrib.auth.models import User -from django.core.validators import EMPTY_VALUES -from django.utils.translation import gettext_lazy as _ -from unfold.admin import ModelAdmin -from unfold.contrib.filters.admin import TextFilter, FieldTextFilter - -class CustomTextFilter(TextFilter): - title = _("Custom filter") - parameter_name = "query_param_in_uri" - - def queryset(self, request, queryset): - if self.value() not in EMPTY_VALUES: - # Here write custom query - return queryset.filter(your_field=self.value()) - - return queryset - - -@admin.register(User) -class MyAdmin(ModelAdmin): - list_filter_submit = True - list_filter = [ - ("model_charfield", FieldTextFilter), - CustomTextFilter - ] -``` - -### Dropdown filters - -Dropdown filters will display a select field with a list of options. Unfold contains two types of dropdowns: `ChoicesDropdownFilter` and `RelatedDropdownFilter`. - -The difference between them is that `ChoicesDropdownFilter` will collect a list of options based on the `choices` attribute of the model field so most commonly it will be used in combination with `CharField` with specified `choices`. On the other hand, `RelatedDropdownFilter` needs a one-to-many or many-to-many foreign key to display options. - -**Note:** At the moment Unfold does not implement a dropdown with an autocomplete functionality, so it is important not to use dropdowns displaying large datasets. - -```python -# admin.py - -from django.contrib import admin -from django.contrib.auth.models import User -from unfold.admin import ModelAdmin -from unfold.contrib.filters.admin import ( - ChoicesDropdownFilter, - MultipleChoicesDropdownFilter, - RelatedDropdownFilter, - MultipleRelatedDropdownFilter, - DropdownFilter, - MultipleDropdownFilter -) - - -class CustomDropdownFilter(DropdownFilter): - title = _("Custom dropdown filter") - parameter_name = "query_param_in_uri" - - def lookups(self, request, model_admin): - return [ - ["option_1", _("Option 1")], - ["option_2", _("Option 2")], - ] - - def queryset(self, request, queryset): - if self.value() not in EMPTY_VALUES: - # Here write custom query - return queryset.filter(your_field=self.value()) - - return queryset - - -@admin.register(User) -class MyAdmin(ModelAdmin): - list_filter_submit = True - list_filter = [ - CustomDropdownFilter, - ("modelfield_with_choices", ChoicesDropdownFilter), - ("modelfield_with_choices_multiple", MultipleChoicesDropdownFilter), - ("modelfield_with_foreign_key", RelatedDropdownFilter) - ("modelfield_with_foreign_key_multiple", MultipleRelatedDropdownFilter) - ] -``` - -### Numeric filters - -Currently, Unfold implements numeric filters inside `unfold.contrib.filters` application. In order to use these filters, it is required to add this application into `INSTALLED_APPS` in `settings.py` right after `unfold` application. - -```python -# admin.py - -from django.contrib import admin -from django.contrib.auth.models import User - -from unfold.admin import ModelAdmin -from unfold.contrib.filters.admin import ( - RangeNumericListFilter, - RangeNumericFilter, - SingleNumericFilter, - SliderNumericFilter, -) - - -class CustomSliderNumericFilter(SliderNumericFilter): - MAX_DECIMALS = 2 - STEP = 10 - - -class CustomRangeNumericListFilter(RangeNumericListFilter): - parameter_name = "items_count" - title = "items" - - -@admin.register(User) -class YourModelAdmin(ModelAdmin): - list_filter_submit = True # Submit button at the bottom of the filter - list_filter = ( - ("field_A", SingleNumericFilter), # Numeric single field search, __gte lookup - ("field_B", RangeNumericFilter), # Numeric range search, __gte and __lte lookup - ("field_C", SliderNumericFilter), # Numeric range filter but with slider - ("field_D", CustomSliderNumericFilter), # Numeric filter with custom attributes - CustomRangeNumericListFilter, # Numeric range search not restricted to a model field - ) - - def get_queryset(self, request): - return super().get_queryset().annotate(items_count=Count("item", distinct=True)) -``` - -### Date/time filters - -```python -# admin.py - -from django.contrib import admin -from django.contrib.auth.models import User - -from unfold.admin import ModelAdmin -from unfold.contrib.filters.admin import ( - RangeDateFilter, - RangeDateTimeFilter, -) - - -@admin.register(User) -class YourModelAdmin(ModelAdmin): - list_filter_submit = True # Submit button at the bottom of the filter - list_filter = ( - ("field_E", RangeDateFilter), # Date filter - ("field_F", RangeDateTimeFilter), # Datetime filter - ) -``` - -## Custom admin pages - -By default, Unfold provides a basic view mixin which helps with creation of basic views which are part of Unfold UI. The implementation requires creation of class based view inheriting from `unfold.views.UnfoldModelAdminViewMixin`. It is important to add `title` and `permissions_required` properties. - -```python -# admin.py - -from django.views.generic import TemplateView -from unfold.admin import ModelAdmin -from unfold.views import UnfoldModelAdminViewMixin - - -class MyClassBasedView(UnfoldModelAdminViewMixin, TemplateView): - title = "Custom Title" # required: custom page header title - permissions_required = () # required: tuple of permissions - template_name = "some/template/path.html" - - -class CustomAdmin(ModelAdmin): - def get_urls(self): - return super().get_urls() + [ - path( - "custom-url-path", - MyClassBasedView.as_view(model_admin=self), # IMPORTANT: model_admin is required - name="custom_name" - ), - ] -``` - -The template is straightforward, extend from `unfold/layouts/base.html` and the UI will display all Unfold components like header or sidebar with all menu items. Then all content needs to be located in `content` block. - -```django-html -{% extends "unfold/layouts/base.html" %} - -{% block content %} - Content here -{% endblock %} -``` - -## Display decorator - -Unfold introduces it's own `unfold.decorators.display` decorator. By default it has exactly same behavior as native `django.contrib.admin.decorators.display` but it adds same customizations which helps to extends default logic. - -`@display(label=True)`, `@display(label={"value1": "success"})` displays a result as a label. This option fits for different types of statuses. Label can be either boolean indicating we want to use label with default color or dict where the dict is responsible for displaying labels in different colors. At the moment these color combinations are supported: success(green), info(blue), danger(red) and warning(orange). - -`@display(header=True)` displays in results list two information in one table cell. Good example is when we want to display customer information, first line is going to be customer's name and right below the name display corresponding email address. Method with such a decorator is supposed to return a list with two elements `return "Full name", "E-mail address"`. There is a third optional argument, which is type of the string and its value is displayed in a circle before first two values on the front end. Its optimal usage is for displaying initials. - -```python -# admin.py - -from django.db.models import TextChoices -from django.utils.translation import gettext_lazy as _ - -from unfold.admin import ModelAdmin -from unfold.decorators import display - - -class UserStatus(TextChoices): - ACTIVE = "ACTIVE", _("Active") - PENDING = "PENDING", _("Pending") - INACTIVE = "INACTIVE", _("Inactive") - CANCELLED = "CANCELLED", _("Cancelled") - - -class UserAdmin(ModelAdmin): - list_display = [ - "display_as_two_line_heading", - "show_status", - "show_status_with_custom_label", - ] - - @display( - description=_("Status"), - ordering="status", - label=True - ) - def show_status_default_color(self, obj): - return obj.status - - @display( - description=_("Status"), - ordering="status", - label={ - UserStatus.ACTIVE: "success", # green - UserStatus.PENDING: "info", # blue - UserStatus.INACTIVE: "warning", # orange - UserStatus.CANCELLED: "danger", # red - }, - ) - def show_status_customized_color(self, obj): - return obj.status - - @display(description=_("Status with label"), ordering="status", label=True) - def show_status_with_custom_label(self, obj): - return obj.status, obj.get_status_display() - - @display(header=True) - def display_as_two_line_heading(self, obj): - """ - Third argument is short text which will appear as prefix in circle - """ - return [ - "First main heading", - "Smaller additional description", # Use None in case you don't need it - "AB", # Short text which will appear in front of - # Image instead of initials.

Use together with width - } - ] -``` - -## Change form tabs - -When the change form contains a lot of fieldsets, sometimes it is better to group them into tabs so it will not be needed to scroll. To mark a fieldset for tab navigation it is required to add a `tab` CSS class to the fieldset. Once the fieldset contains `tab` class it will be recognized in a template and grouped into tab navigation. Each tab must contain its name. If the name is not available, it will be not included in the tab navigation. - -```python -# admin.py - -from django.contrib import admin -from django.utils.translation import gettext_lazy as _ -from unfold.admin import ModelAdmin - -from .models import MyModel - - -@admin.register(MyModel) -class MyModelAdmin(ModelAdmin): - fieldsets = ( - ( - None, - { - "fields": [ - "field_1", - "field_2", - ], - }, - ), - ( - _("Tab 1"), - { - "classes": ["tab"], - "fields": [ - "field_3", - "field_4", - ], - }, - ), - ( - _("Tab 2"), - { - "classes": ["tab"], - "fields": [ - "field_5", - "field_6", - ], - }, - ), - ) -``` - -## Inlines - -### Custom title - -By default, the title available for each inline row is coming from the `__str__` implementation of the model. Unfold allows you to override this title by implementing `get_inline_title` on the model which can return your own custom title just for the inline. - -```python -from unfold.admin import TabularInline - - -class User(models.Model): - # fiels, meta ... - - def get_inline_title(self): - return "Custom title" - - -class MyInline(TabularInline): - model = User -``` - -### Hide title row - -By applying `hide_title` attribute set to `True`, it is possible to hide the title row which is available for `StackedInline` or `TabularInline`. For `StackedInline` it is required to have disabled delete permission `can_delete` to be able to hide the title row, because the checkbox with the delete action is inside this title. - -```python -# admin.py - -from unfold.admin import TabularInline - - -class MyInline(TabularInline): - model = User - hide_title = True -``` - -### Display as tabs - -Inlines can be grouped into tab navigation by specifying `tab` attribute in the inline class. - -```python -# admin.py - -from unfold.admin import TabularInline - - -class MyInline(TabularInline): - model = User - tab = True -``` - -### Nonrelated inlines - -To display inlines which are not related (no foreign key pointing at the main model) to the model instance in changeform, you can use nonrelated inlines which are included in `unfold.contrib.inlines` module. Make sure this module is included in `INSTALLED_APPS` in settings.py. - -```python -from django.contrib.auth.models import User -from unfold.admin import ModelAdmin -from unfold.contrib.inlines.admin import NonrelatedTabularInline -from .models import OtherModel - -class OtherNonrelatedInline(NonrelatedTabularInline): # NonrelatedStackedInline is available as well - model = OtherModel - fields = ["field1", "field2"] # Ignore property to display all fields - - def get_form_queryset(self, obj): - """ - Gets all nonrelated objects needed for inlines. Method must be implemented. - """ - return self.model.objects.all() - - def save_new_instance(self, parent, instance): - """ - Extra save method which can for example update inline instances based on current - main model object. Method must be implemented. - """ - pass - - -@admin.register(User) -class UserAdmin(ModelAdmin): - inlines = [OtherNonrelatedInline] -``` - -**NOTE:** credit for this functionality goes to [django-nonrelated-inlines](https://github.com/bhomnick/django-nonrelated-inlines) - - -## Third party packages - -### django-celery-beat - -In general, django-celery-beat does not have any components that require special styling. The default changelist templates are not inheriting from Unfold's `ModelAdmin` but they are using default `ModelAdmin` coming from `django.contrib.admin` which is causing some design discrepancies in the changelist. - -In the source code below you can find a short code snippet to unregister all `django-celery-beat` admin classes and register them with the proper parent `ModelAdmin` class. - -```python -# admin.py -from django.contrib import admin -from unfold.admin import ModelAdmin - -from django_celery_beat.models import ( - ClockedSchedule, - CrontabSchedule, - IntervalSchedule, - PeriodicTask, - SolarSchedule, -) -from django_celery_beat.admin import ClockedScheduleAdmin as BaseClockedScheduleAdmin -from django_celery_beat.admin import CrontabScheduleAdmin as BaseCrontabScheduleAdmin -from django_celery_beat.admin import PeriodicTaskAdmin as BasePeriodicTaskAdmin -from django_celery_beat.admin import PeriodicTaskForm, TaskSelectWidget - -admin.site.unregister(PeriodicTask) -admin.site.unregister(IntervalSchedule) -admin.site.unregister(CrontabSchedule) -admin.site.unregister(SolarSchedule) -admin.site.unregister(ClockedSchedule) - - -class UnfoldTaskSelectWidget(UnfoldAdminSelectWidget, TaskSelectWidget): - pass - - -class UnfoldPeriodicTaskForm(PeriodicTaskForm): - def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): - super().__init__(*args, **kwargs) - self.fields["task"].widget = UnfoldAdminTextInputWidget() - self.fields["regtask"].widget = UnfoldTaskSelectWidget() - - -@admin.register(PeriodicTask) -class PeriodicTaskAdmin(BasePeriodicTaskAdmin, ModelAdmin): - form = UnfoldPeriodicTaskForm - - -@admin.register(IntervalSchedule) -class IntervalScheduleAdmin(ModelAdmin): - pass - - -@admin.register(CrontabSchedule) -class CrontabScheduleAdmin(BaseCrontabScheduleAdmin, ModelAdmin): - pass - - -@admin.register(SolarSchedule) -class SolarScheduleAdmin(ModelAdmin): - pass - -@admin.register(ClockedSchedule) -class ClockedScheduleAdmin(BaseClockedScheduleAdmin, ModelAdmin): - pass -``` - -### django-guardian - -Adding support for django-guardian is quite straightforward in Unfold, just add `unfold.contrib.guardian` to `INSTALLED_APPS` at the beginning of the file. This action will override all templates coming from the django-guardian. Please note that **Object permissions** link is available in top right dropdown navigation. - -### django-import-export - -1. Add `unfold.contrib.import_export` to `INSTALLED_APPS` at the beginning of the file. This action will override all templates coming from the application. -2. Change `import_form_class` and `export_form_class` in ModelAdmin which is inheriting from `ImportExportModelAdmin`. This chunk of code is responsible for adding proper styling to form elements. - -```python -# admin.py - -from unfold.admin import ModelAdmin -from import_export.admin import ImportExportModelAdmin -from unfold.contrib.import_export.forms import ExportForm, ImportForm, SelectableFieldsExportForm - -class ExampleAdmin(ModelAdmin, ImportExportModelAdmin): - import_form_class = ImportForm - export_form_class = ExportForm - # export_form_class = SelectableFieldsExportForm -``` - -When implementing `import_export.admin.ExportActionModelAdmin` class in admin panel, import_export plugin adds its own implementation of action form which is not incorporating Unfold CSS classes. For this reason, `unfold.contrib.import_export.admin` contains class with the same name `ExportActionModelAdmin` which inherits behavior of parent form and adds appropriate CSS classes. - -**Note:** This class has been removed and in new version (4.x) of django-import-export it is not needed. - -```python -admin.py - -from unfold.admin import ModelAdmin -from unfold.contrib.import_export.admin import ExportActionModelAdmin - -class ExampleAdmin(ModelAdmin, ExportActionModelAdmin): - pass -``` - -### django-modeltranslation - -By default, Unfold supports django-modeltranslation and `TabbedTranslationAdmin` admin class for the tabbed navigation is implemented with custom styling as well. - -```python -from django.contrib import admin - -from modeltranslation.admin import TabbedTranslationAdmin -from unfold.admin import ModelAdmin - -from .models import MyModel - - -@admin.register(MyModel) -class MyModelAdmin(ModelAdmin, TabbedTranslationAdmin): - pass -``` - -For django-modeltranslation fields for spefic languages, it is possible to define custom flags which will appear as a suffix in field's label. It is recommended to use emojis as suffix. - -```python -# settings.py - -UNFOLD = { - "EXTENSIONS": { - "modeltranslation": { - "flags": { - "en": "🇬🇧", - "fr": "🇫🇷", - "nl": "🇧🇪", - }, - }, - }, -} -``` - -### django-money - -This application is supported in Unfold by default. It is not needed to add any other applications into `INSTALLED_APPS`. Unfold is recognizing special form widget coming from django-money and applying specific styling. - -### django-simple-history - -To make this application work, add `unfold.contrib.simple_history` into `settings.py` in `INSTALLED_APPS` variable before right after `unfold`. This app should ensure that templates coming from django-simple-history are overridden by Unfold. - -## User Admin Form - -User's admin in Django is specific as it contains several forms which are requiring custom styling. All of these forms has been inherited and accordingly adjusted. In user admin class it is needed to use these inherited form classes to enable custom styling matching rest of the website. - -```python -# models.py - -from django.contrib.admin import register -from django.contrib.auth.models import User -from django.contrib.auth.admin import UserAdmin as BaseUserAdmin - -from unfold.admin import ModelAdmin -from unfold.forms import AdminPasswordChangeForm, UserChangeForm, UserCreationForm - - -@register(User) -class UserAdmin(BaseUserAdmin, ModelAdmin): - form = UserChangeForm - add_form = UserCreationForm - change_password_form = AdminPasswordChangeForm -``` - -## Adding custom styles and scripts - -To add new custom styles, for example for custom dashboard, it is possible to load them via **STYLES** key in **UNFOLD** dict. This key accepts a list of strings or lambda functions which will be loaded on all pages. JavaScript files can be loaded by using similar apprach, but **SCRIPTS** is used. - -```python -# settings.py - -from django.templatetags.static import static - -UNFOLD = { - "STYLES": [ - lambda request: static("css/style.css"), - ], - "SCRIPTS": [ - lambda request: static("js/script.js"), - ], -} -``` - -## Project level Tailwind stylesheet - -When creating custom dashboard or adding custom components, it is needed to add own styles. Adding custom styles is described above. Most of the time, it is supposed that new elements are going to match with the rest of the administration panel. First of all, create tailwind.config.js in your application. Below is located minimal configuration for this file. - -```javascript -// tailwind.config.js - -module.exports = { - content: ["./your_project/**/*.{html,py,js}"], - // In case custom colors are defined in UNFOLD["COLORS"] - colors: { - primary: { - 50: "rgb(var(--color-primary-50) / )", - 100: "rgb(var(--color-primary-100) / )", - 200: "rgb(var(--color-primary-200) / )", - 300: "rgb(var(--color-primary-300) / )", - 400: "rgb(var(--color-primary-400) / )", - 500: "rgb(var(--color-primary-500) / )", - 600: "rgb(var(--color-primary-600) / )", - 700: "rgb(var(--color-primary-700) / )", - 800: "rgb(var(--color-primary-800) / )", - 900: "rgb(var(--color-primary-900) / )", - 950: "rgb(var(--color-primary-950) / )", - }, - }, -}; -``` - -Once the configuration file is set, it is possible to compile new styles which can be loaded into admin by using **STYLES** key in **UNFOLD** dict. - -```bash -npx tailwindcss -o your_project/static/css/styles.css --watch --minify -``` - -## Admin dashboard - -### Overriding template - -Create `templates/admin/index.html` in your project and paste the base template below into it. By default, all your custom styles here are not compiled because CSS classes are located in your specific project. Here it is needed to set up the Tailwind for your project and all required instructions are located in [Project Level Tailwind Stylesheet](#project-level-tailwind-stylesheet) chapter. - -```html+django -{% extends 'unfold/layouts/base_simple.html' %} - -{% load cache humanize i18n %} - -{% block breadcrumbs %}{% endblock %} - -{% block title %} - {% if subtitle %} - {{ subtitle }} | - {% endif %} - - {{ title }} | {{ site_title|default:_('Django site admin') }} -{% endblock %} - -{% block branding %} -

- - {{ site_header|default:_('Django administration') }} - -

-{% endblock %} - -{% block content %} - Start creating your own Tailwind components here -{% endblock %} -``` - -### Custom variables - -When you are building a new dashboard, you need to display some data mostly coming from the database. To pass these data to the dashboard template, Unfold contains a special `DASHBOARD_CALLBACK` parameter which allows passing a dictionary of variables to `templates/admin/index.html` template. - -```python -# views.py - -def dashboard_callback(request, context): - context.update({ - "custom_variable": "value", - }) - - return context -``` - -```python -# settings.py - -UNFOLD = { - "DASHBOARD_CALLBACK": "app.views.dashboard_callback", -} -``` - -### Unfold components - -Unfold provides a set of already predefined templates to speed up overall dashboard development. These templates contain predefined design which matches global design style so there is no need to spend any time adjusting styles. - -The biggest benefit of Unfold components is the possibility to nest them inside one template file provides an unlimited amount of possible combinations. Then each component includes `children` variable which contains a value specified in the parent component. Except for `children` variable, components can have multiple variables coming from the parent template as component variables. These parameters can be specified in the same as parameters when using `{% include with param1=value1 param2=value2 %}` template tag. - -```html+django -{% component "unfold/components/flex.html" with col=1 %} - {% component "unfold/components/card.html" %} - {% component "unfold/components/title.html" %} - Card Title - {% endcomponent %} - {% endcomponent %} -{% endcomponent %} -``` - -Below you can find a more complex example which is using multiple components and processing them based on the passed variables from the `DASHBOARD_CALLBACK`. - -```html+django -{% load i18n %} - -{% block content %} - {% component "unfold/components/container.html" %} - {% component "unfold/components/flex.html" with class="gap-4"%} - {% component "unfold/components/navigation.html" with items=navigation %} - {% endcomponent %} - - {% component "unfold/components/navigation.html" with class="ml-auto" items=filters %} - {% endcomponent %} - {% endcomponent %} - - {% component "unfold/components/flex.html" with class="gap-8 mb-8 flex-col lg:flex-row" %} - {% for card in cards %} - {% trans "Last 7 days" as label %} - {% component "unfold/components/card.html" with class="lg:w-1/3" %} - {% component "unfold/components/text.html" %} - {{ card.title }} - {% endcomponent %} - - {% component "unfold/components/title.html" %} - {{ card.metric }} - {% endcomponent %} - {% endcomponent %} - {% endfor %} - {% endcomponent %} - {% endcomponent %} -{% endblock %} -``` - -#### List of available components - -| Component | Description | Arguments | -| --------------------------------- | ------------------------------ | ------------------------------------ | -| unfold/components/button.html | Basic button element | submit | -| unfold/components/card.html | Card component | class, title, footer, label, icon | -| unfold/components/chart/bar.html | Bar chart implementation | class, data, height, width | -| unfold/components/chart/line.html | Line chart implementation | class, data, height, width | -| unfold/components/container.html | Wrapper for settings max width | class | -| unfold/components/flex.html | Flex items | class, col | -| unfold/components/icon.html | Icon element | class | -| unfold/components/navigation.html | List of navigation links | class, items | -| unfold/components/progress.html | Percentual progress bar | class, value, title, description | -| unfold/components/separator.html | Separator, horizontal rule | class | -| unfold/components/table.html | Table | table, card_included, striped | -| unfold/components/text.html | Paragraph of text | class | -| unfold/components/title.html | Basic heading element | class | - - -#### Table component example - -```python -from typing import Dict -from django.http import HttpRequest - - -def dashboard_callback(request: HttpRequest) -> Dict: - return { - "table_data": { - "headers": ["col 1", "col 2"], - "rows": [ - ["a", "b"], - ["c", "d"], - ] - } - } -``` - -```django-html -{% component "unfold/components/card.html" with title="Card title" %} - {% component "unfold/components/table.html" with table=table_data card_included=1 striped=1 %}{% endcomponent %} -{% endcomponent %} -``` - -## Unfold development - -### Pre-commit - -Before adding any source code, it is recommended to have pre-commit installed on your local computer to check for all potential issues when committing the code. - -```bash -pip install pre-commit -pre-commit install -pre-commit install --hook-type commit-msg -pre-commit run --all-files # Check if everything is okay -``` - -### Poetry configuration - -To add a new feature or fix the easiest approach is to use django-unfold in combination with Poetry. The process looks like: - -- Install django-unfold via `poetry add django-unfold` -- After that it is needed to git clone the repository somewhere on local computer. -- Edit _pyproject.toml_ and update django-unfold line `django-unfold = { path = "../django-unfold", develop = true}` -- Lock and update via `poetry lock && poetry update` - -### Compiling Tailwind - -At the moment project contains package.json with all dependencies required to compile new CSS file. Tailwind configuration file is set to check all html, js and py files for Tailwind's classes occurrences. - -```bash -npm install -npx tailwindcss -i src/unfold/styles.css -o src/unfold/static/unfold/css/styles.css --watch --minify - -npm run tailwind:watch # run after each change in code -npm run tailwind:build # run once -``` - -Some components like datepickers, calendars or selectors in admin was not possible to style by overriding html templates so their default styles are overridden in **styles.css**. - -**Note:** most of the custom styles located in style.css are created via `@apply some-tailwind-class;` as is not possible to manually add CSS class to element which are for example created via jQuery. - - -### Design system - -| Component | Classes | -| --------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ | -| Regular text | text-gray-600 dark:text-gray-300 | -| Hover regular text | text-gray-700 dark:text-gray-200 | -| Headings | font-semibold text-gray-900 dark:text-gray-100 | -| Icon | text-gray-400 dark:text-gray-500 | -| Hover icon | hover:text-gray-500 dark:hover:text-gray-400 | - -### Using VS Code with containers - -Unfold already contains prepared support for VS Code development. After cloning the project locally, open the main folder in VS Code (in terminal `code .`). Immediately, you would see a message from VS Code **Folder contains a Dev Container configuration file. Reopen folder to develop in a container** which will inform you that the support for containers is prepared. Confirm the message by clicking on **Reopen in Container**. If the message is not there, you can still manually open the project in a container by running the command **Dev Containers: Reopen in Container**. - -#### Development server - -Now the VS Code will build an image and install Python dependencies. After successful installation is completed, VS Code will spin a container and from now it is possible to directly develop in the container. Unfold contains an example development application with the basic Unfold configuration available under `tests/server`. Run `python manage.py runserver` within a `tests/server` folder to start a development Django server. Note that you have to run the command from VS Code terminal which is already connected to the running container. - -**Note:** this is not a production ready server. Use it just for running tests or developing features & fixes. - -#### Compiling Tailwind in devcontainer - -The container has already a node preinstalled so it is possible to compile a new CSS. Open the terminal and run `npm install` which will install all dependencies and will create `node_modules` folder. Now, you can run npm commands for Tailwind as described in the previous chapter. - -## Credits - -- [django-nonrelated-inlines](https://github.com/bhomnick/django-nonrelated-inlines) - Django admin inlines for unrelated models -- [TailwindCSS](https://tailwindcss.com/) - CSS framework -- [HTMX](https://htmx.org/) - AJAX communication with backend -- [Material Icons](https://fonts.google.com/icons) - Icons from Google Fonts -- [Trix](https://trix-editor.org/) - WYSIWYG editor -- [Alpine.js](https://alpinejs.dev/) - JavaScript interactions -- [Chart.js](https://github.com/chartjs/Chart.js/) - Chart components
