django-dynamic-database

You can write several Django models handling on 4 tables in your database.

Installation

First install the module, preferably in a virtual environment from the repository:

pip install -e git+https://github.com/cdoukoure/django-dynamic-database.git#egg=django-dynamic-database

Configuration

Next, create a project which uses the application:

cd ..
django-admin.py startproject demo

Add the following to settings.py:

INSTALLED_APPS += (
    'djangorestframework', # According to your needs
    'django_dynamic_database',
)

And then

from django_dynamic_database.models import DynamicDBModel

Usage

The main feature of this module is creating a tree of custom node types. It boils down to creating a application with 2 files:

• With Models

The models.py file should define the custom model type, and any fields it has:

from django_dynamic_database.django_dynamic_database import DynamicDBModel


class Course(DynamicDBModel):
    title = models.CharField(_("Title"), max_length=200)


class Session(DynamicDBModel):
    course = models.ForeignKey(_("Opening title"), max_length=200)
    title = models.CharField(_("Title"), max_length=200)

• With views

Check the test file

Tests

Todo

• Relational models links (objects prefetch_related, select_related)
• Delete data in database when models is deleted (synchronize with makemigration and migrate)
• Fields validations
