Description: django-extra-views - The missing class-based generic views for Django
        =====================================================================
        
        Django's class-based generic views are great, they let you accomplish a large number of web application design patterns in relatively few lines of code.  They do have their limits though, and that's what this library of views aims to overcome.
        
        Installation
        ------------
        
        Installing from pypi (using pip). ::
        
        pip install django-extra-views
        
        Installing from github. ::
        
        pip install -e git://github.com/AndrewIngram/django-extra-views.git#egg=django-extra-views
        
        
        Features so far
        ------------------
        
        - FormSet and ModelFormSet views - The formset equivalents of FormView and ModelFormView.
        - InlineFormSetView - Lets you edit formsets related to a model (uses inlineformset_factory)
        - CreateWithInlinesView and UpdateWithInlinesView - Lets you edit a model and its relations
        - GenericInlineFormSetView, the equivalent of InlineFormSetView but for GenericForeignKeys
        - Support for generic inlines in CreateWithInlinesView and UpdateWithInlinesView
        
        Still to do
        -----------
        
        I'd like to add support for pagination in ModelFormSetView and its derivatives, the goal being to be able to mimic the change_list view in Django's admin. Currently this is proving difficult because of how Django's MultipleObjectMixin handles pagination.
        
        Examples
        --------
        
        Defining a FormSetView. ::
        
        from extra_views import FormSetView
        
        class AddressFormSet(FormSetView):
        form_class = AddressForm
        template_name = 'address_formset.html'
        
        Defining a ModelFormSetView. ::
        
        from extra_views import ModelFormSetView:
        
        class ItemFormSetView(ModelFormSetView):
        model = Item
        template_name = 'item_formset.html'
        
        Defining a CreateWithInlinesView and an UpdateWithInlinesView. ::
        
        from extra_views import CreateWithInlinesView, UpdateWithInlinesView, InlineFormSet
        from extra_views.generic import GenericInlineFormSet
        
        class ItemInline(InlineFormSet):
        model = Item
        
        class TagInline(GenericInlineFormSet):
        model = Tag
        
        class CreateOrderView(CreateWithInlinesView):
        model = Order
        inlines = [ItemInline, TagInline]
        
        class UpdateOrderView(UpdateWithInlinesView):
        model = Order
        inlines = [ItemInline, TagInline]
        
        # Example URLs.
        urlpatterns = patterns('',
        url(r'^orders/new/$', CreateOrderView.as_view()),
        url(r'^orders/(?P<pk>\d+)/$', UpdateOrderView.as_view()),
        )
        
        More descriptive examples to come.
