Material Design for django forms and admin

Mikhail Podgurskiy

@kmmbvnr

mm.. that's intresting idea, but i'm afraid it's not supported

emihir0

@emihir0

I've implemented it. A small change is required in get_ajax_suggestions and ListModelView needs a def options to support the change (similar to FormAjaxCompleteMixin's but not quite as we don't have 'form' but rather 'filterset' where the fields are stored

@emihir0

I've just noticed that material's ModelChoiceField does not have a 'clear' X button. It is super convenient in some use cases to have it. Is there a way to add it?

emihir0

@emihir0

something like this: https://codepen.io/pranesh-r/pen/yawzbW?editors=0010 but 'X' is more than enough

@astarrh

@kmmbvnr hmm when I comment out these:

<script src="{% static 'material/js/jquery.js' %}"></script>
{% include 'material/includes/material_js.html' %}

the issue goes away.

CRUD ERROR!
I'm trying to implemnent a CRUD view
My model: Item

app/urls.py
urlpatterns = [ url('^$', generic.RedirectView.as_view(url='./itens/', permanent=False), name="index"), url('^itens/', include(ItemViewSet().urls)), ]
Global Urls
urlpatterns = [ url(r'', include(frontend_urls)), ]
When I try to access the url /itens, I get the error:

Reverse for 'item_add' not found. 'item_add' is not a valid view function or pattern name.

what is my mistake?

Mikhail Podgurskiy

@kmmbvnr

frontend registers all urls under own namespace, same as app label

so, i guess, the reverse should be app:item_add

Sidon Duarte

@Sidon

Ok, but I'm not referencing the reverse, I'm just trying to access the url /items

Sidon Duarte

@Sidon

With django-material is possible to implement (without use admin) a table like this?

Hey guys, what is the difference between django-material and just using the CDN for the "standard" material stylesheets?

Mikhail Podgurskiy

@kmmbvnr

Django-material provides integration with django

You can read more about provided functionality in the documentation

http://docs.viewflow.io/material_forms.html

http://docs.viewflow.io/material_frontend.html

@Sidon

Hi @kmmbvnr could you answer my question about mdl-table?

Mikhail Podgurskiy

@kmmbvnr

For the samples what can be done with django-material you can check the demo

Hi @kmmbvnr, thank you for building such awesome project! It's really a time-saver for material gui buinding ....

I'm trying to understand the class design under the form generator but unfortunately I'm not a python developer ... I "think" the code that generates the material form markup is under django-material/material/base.py am I correct?

Mikhail Podgurskiy

@kmmbvnr

markup is generated from django templates https://github.com/viewflow/django-material/tree/master/material/templates/material

@emihir0

@kmmbvnr Mikhail - the material frontend uses templates that are 'dashboard' like type of templates. Do you have some templates for regular user site? For example: at some point I will have to build a catalogue type of view for our products for anonymous users; then if they register they can put the prodcuts in their carts and from that point the dashboard style will be useful

but for 'about', 'home', 'info', 'catalogue', 'product detail' etc type of views, the dashboard kind of view is kind of overkill I think as the topbar and navitems take too much space

Mikhail Podgurskiy

@kmmbvnr

That's the reason why have separated js and css inclusion templates. {% include 'material/includes/material_css.html' %} {% include 'material/includes/material_js.html' %} You can just use it inside your custom base.html

emihir0

@emihir0

Yes, I know; I meant it more as - whether you have some basic templates for the use cases I mentioned above (they are common in like 50%+ of all projects) so that I don't have to start from scratch =). One of the reasons why I use your framework is so that I don't have to touch html/js/css, and when I do, it's just to do some quick/small adjustments.

Hiya - looks a great piece of work. I'm using Django 1.11 and MaterializeCSS V1.0 Alpha, but have done a mod to base user authentication based on email address alone. Now adding your work in. Do I need to change your forms code to not ask for the Username?

Mikhail Podgurskiy

@kmmbvnr

no, you don't need any change, everything should works out of the box

Ian Waring

@ianwaring

Lovely - thank you

Ian Waring

@ianwaring

Sorry for the relatively noob question - just trying to decode how to bolt things into an existing app. Django 1.11, Python 3, using MaterializeCSS 1.0 Alpha. I've cloned the demo over from Github. Looks like I replicate the whole tree under app Material into my project, replicate demo.py to get a material.base import and 3 class definitions as my own appname.py, put material, material.frontend and material.admin as INSTALLED_APPS up front in my apps settings.py and - is that it?

Just agonising over bits and bobs in the demo as it's still referencing jQuery in places, which I thought had gone away as a MaterializeCSS dependency. And wondering if I put the materialize/1.0.0-alpha.2 minified CSS and js includes off their CDN or use the ones left in the material/admin/css and /js directories?

Any help or guidance really appreciated.

emihir0

@emihir0

You should install django-material as a third app, just the same way you install any other app. So pip install django-material and then follow: http://docs.viewflow.io/material_frontend.html

you dont 'copy paste' your already existing project as the demo of the git...

@kmmbvnr do you have some ETA on when will django-material be compatible with django 2 release?

Ian Waring

@ianwaring

That covers material and material-frontend but no mention of material-admin...

Btw - the version using MaterializeCSS 1.0 Alpha 2 is from a git clone afaik - hence me trying to unpick it that way

Using Django 1.11

Lucas Garcia de Araújo Martins

@lukasgarcya

In the master the Django admin is removed?

emihir0

@emihir0

http://docs.viewflow.io/material_admin.html

django-material includes the admin interface; you simply have to enable it in installed apps...

Lucas Garcia de Araújo Martins

@lukasgarcya

When I install direct from git, this is not working.

In git's repository has this message: [GIT]

Django 2.0 support
Drop Material Admin

Ian Waring

@ianwaring

Is there a straightforward way of enacting a django-material install that works with Django 1.11?

Ian Waring

@ianwaring

(also wondering if it's a requirement to create the app afresh with the manage.py migrate ; documentation refers to myapp.apps.MyAppConfig but unsure whether I tap that in literally or substitute 'myapp' for my own app name?

Mikhail Podgurskiy

@kmmbvnr

@ianwaring pip install django-material

and yep you need to substitute

Ian Waring

@ianwaring

Thank you Mikhail :-)

@emihir0

@kmmbvnr is it possible to (without digging through js/css/html) add 'save and add another' and 'save and continue editing' buttons to the forms outside admin? for example here:

http://demo.viewflow.io/employees/departments/

Ian Waring

@ianwaring

Stuck on the real basics. I have a project called say "project_fred", have an app in there called "fred", do a pip install of django-material. The project and app already have customisations to have email address as the sole authentication method. Done the addition of material, material.frontend and material.admin to installed apps. Is there a way to scaffold out the material support files if I already have an app defined?

I'm suspect there's a missing fred.apps.fredConfig needed in INSTALLED_APPS along the way too.

Ian Waring

@ianwaring

I also guess something must scaffold out the material directory tree under static?

Ian Waring

@ianwaring

Have the module set for the front end ok. The demo makes it look like an app called "material" is created somehow, but no mention in the docs...

emihir0

@emihir0

simple question - does your app, fred work on its own without django-material?
