Reusing generic actions to manage relations

class aristotle_mdr.contrib.generic.views.BootTableListView(**kwargs)[source]

Lists objects in a bootstrap table (with optional pagination)

class aristotle_mdr.contrib.generic.views.GenericAlterForeignKey(**kwargs)[source]

A view that provides a framework for altering ManyToOne relationships (Include through models from ManyToMany relationships) from one ‘base’ object to many others.

The URL pattern must pass a kwarg with the name iid that is the object from the model_base to use as the main link for the many to many relation.

  • model_base - mandatory - The model with the instance to be altered
  • model_to_add - mandatory - The model that has instances we will link to the base.
  • template_name
    • optional - The template used to display the form.
    • default - “aristotle_mdr/generic/actions/alter_foreign_key.html”
  • model_base_field - mandatory - the name of the field that goes from the model_base to the model_to_add.
  • model_to_add_field - mandatory - the name of the field on the model_to_add model that links to the model_base model.
  • form_title - Title for the form

For example: If we have a many to many relationship from DataElement`s to `Dataset`s, to alter the `DataElement`s attached to a `Dataset, Dataset is the base_model and model_to_add is DataElement.

Handles POST requests, instantiating a form instance with the passed POST variables and then checked for validity.

save_form(form)[source]

Saves the formset returned by the view Can be overwritten to add/change extra data
