python - What is the recommended approach to implement admin-actions-alike functionality outside admin? -

i've been searching way reproduce admin-actions behavior on own tables using django-tables2. haven't found module introduce functionality listview derive , looking @ modeladmin see there many methods implied on this. of course, can add form around table checkboxes , submit button pointing view works ids i'm looging combo choose among different actions in django-admin have 'actions' meta option list methods possible actions perform. found django-actions still young introduces it's own page operations , need integrate functionality on own model can connect input type=select model actions. comment appreciated :)

there no built-in solution it. have implement actions in views , functionality templates.

add, edit , delete operations easy implement in views.py. depends on models, can trigger database manipulations within templates , keep logic in views.py.

you can add form templates described in docs:

# forms.py  django.forms import modelform myapp.models import article  # create form class. class articleform(modelform):      class meta:          model = article          fields = ['pub_date', 'headline', 'content', 'reporter'] 

model := choose model want modify / add
fields := select fields model, want show in form

this defines form corresponding model, can used in templates modify or add entity database.
