Django Admin Column Toggle

Django Admin Column Toggle is a reusable Django package that adds column toggle functionality to the Django admin interface. This allows users to show or hide columns in the list view of the Django admin site.

Installation

1. Install the package:

   With poetry

   poetry add django-admin-column-toggle
   

   With pip

   pip install django-admin-column-toggle
   

2. Add 'column_toggle' to your `INSTALLED_APPS` setting in your Django project:

   INSTALLED_APPS = [
   ...
   'column_toggle',
   ]

Usage

1. Import `ColumnToggleModelAdmin` from `column_toggle.admin` and inherit it in your `ModelAdmin` class. For example:

   from django.contrib import admin
   from column_toggle.admin import ColumnToggleModelAdmin
   from .models import YourModel
   
   @admin.register(YourModel)
   class YourModelAdmin(ColumnToggleModelAdmin):
       list_display = ('field1', 'field2', 'field3')

2. To set the default selected columns, add the `default_selected_columns` attribute in your `ModelAdmin` class:

   @admin.register(YourModel)
   class YourModelAdmin(ColumnToggleModelAdmin):
       list_display = ('field1', 'field2', 'field3')
       default_selected_columns = ['field1', 'field2']

   By doing this, only the specified columns ('field1' and 'field2' in this example) will be visible by default. Users can still toggle the visibility of other columns manually.

3. That's it! Now you should have column toggle functionality in the Django admin list view for the specified model.
