Description: django-extra-views-ng - 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-ng
        
        Installing from github. ::
        
        pip install -e git://github.com/hovel/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
        - Support for naming each inline or formset with NamedFormsetsMixin
        - SortableListMixin - Generic mixin for sorting functionality in your views
        - SearchableListMixin - Generic mixin for search functionality in your views
        
        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()),
        )
        
        If you want to use granular access in templates you can name your inlines or formsets with NamedFormsetsMixin. ::
        
        from extra_views import NamedFormsetsMixin
        
        class CreateOrderView(CreateWithInlinesView):
        model = Order
        inlines = [ItemInline, TagInline]
        inlines_names = ['Items', 'Tags']
        
        You can add search ability for your classes by adding SearchableMixin and by setting search_fields::
        
        from django.views.generic import ListView
        from extra_views import SearchableListMixin
        
        class SearchableItemListView(SearchableListMixin, ListView):
        template_name = 'extra_views/item_list.html'
        search_fields = ['name', 'sku']
        model = Item
        
        In this case ``object_list`` will be filtred if GET query will be provided (like /searchable/?q=query), or you
        can manually override get_search_query method, to build custom search query
        
        Also you can define some items  in ``search_fields`` as tuple (e.g. ``[('name', 'iexact', ), 'sku']``)
        to provide custom lookups for searching. Default lookup is ``icontains``. We strongly recommend to use only
        string lookups, when number fields will convert to strings before comparison to prevent converting errors.
        This controlled by ``check_lookups`` setting of SearchableMixin.
        
        Define sorting in view. ::
        
        from django.views.generic import ListView
        from extra_views import SortableListMixin
        
        class SortableItemListView(SortableListMixin, ListView):
        sort_fields_aliases = [('name', 'by_name'), ('id', 'by_id'), ]
        model = Item
        
        You can hide real field names in query string by define sort_fields_aliases attribute (see example)
        or show they as is by define sort_fields. SortableListMixin adds ``sort_helper`` variable of SortHelper class,
        then in template you can use helper functions: ``{{ sort_helper.get_order_query_by_FOO }}``,
        ``{{ sort_helper.get_order_query_by_FOO_asc }}``, ``{{ sort_helper.get_order_query_by_FOO_desc }}`` and
        ``{{ sort_helper.is_sorted_by_FOO }}``
        
        More descriptive examples to come.
