django-treenode
Probably the best abstract model / admin for your tree based stuff.
Features
- Fast - get
ancestors
,children
,descendants
,parent
,root
,siblings
,tree
with no queries - Synced - in-memory model instances are automatically updated
- Compatibility - you can easily add
treenode
to existing projects - No dependencies
- Easy configuration - just extend the abstract model / model-admin
- Admin integration - great tree visualization: accordion, breadcrumbs or indentation
indentation (default) | breadcrumbs | accordion |
---|---|---|
Installation
- Run
pip install django-treenode
- Add
treenode
tosettings.INSTALLED_APPS
- Make your model inherit from
treenode.models.TreeNodeModel
(described below) - Make your model-admin inherit from
treenode.admin.TreeNodeModelAdmin
(described below) - Run
python manage.py makemigrations
andpython manage.py migrate
Configuration
models.py
Make your model class inherit from treenode.models.TreeNodeModel
:
from django.db import models
from treenode.models import TreeNodeModel
class Category(TreeNodeModel):
# the field used to display the model instance
# default value 'pk'
treenode_display_field = 'name'
name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
class Meta(TreeNodeModel.Meta):
verbose_name = 'Category'
verbose_name_plural = 'Categories'
The TreeNodeModel
abstract class adds many fields (prefixed with tn_
to prevent direct access) and public methods to your models.
TreeNodeModel
public methods/properties names.
admin.py
Make your model-admin class inherit from treenode.admin.TreeNodeModelAdmin
.
from django.contrib import admin
from treenode.admin import TreeNodeModelAdmin
from treenode.forms import TreeNodeForm
from .models import Category
class CategoryAdmin(TreeNodeModelAdmin):
# set the changelist display mode: 'accordion', 'breadcrumbs' or 'indentation' (default)
# when changelist results are filtered by a querystring,
# 'breadcrumbs' mode will be used (to preserve data display integrity)
treenode_display_mode = TreeNodeModelAdmin.TREENODE_DISPLAY_MODE_ACCORDION
# treenode_display_mode = TreeNodeModelAdmin.TREENODE_DISPLAY_MODE_BREADCRUMBS
# treenode_display_mode = TreeNodeModelAdmin.TREENODE_DISPLAY_MODE_INDENTATION
# use TreeNodeForm to automatically exclude invalid parent choices
form = TreeNodeForm
admin.site.register(Category, CategoryAdmin)
settings.py
You can use a custom cache backend by adding a treenode
entry to settings.CACHES
, otherwise the default cache backend will be used.
CACHES = {
'default': {
'BACKEND': 'django.core.cache.backends.filebased.FileBasedCache',
'LOCATION': '...',
},
'treenode': {
'BACKEND': 'django.core.cache.backends.locmem.LocMemCache',
},
}
Usage
Methods/Properties
Delete a node if cascade=True
(default behaviour), children and descendants will be deleted too, otherwise children's parent will be set to None
(then children become roots):
obj.delete(cascade=True)

representing the model tree:
obj.get_descendants_tree_display()
# or

# or

Get the parent node:
obj.get_parent()
# or

Get the parent node pk:
obj.get_parent_pk()
# or

Set the parent node:
obj.set_parent(parent_obj)
Get the node priority:
obj.get_priority()
# or
obj.priority
Set the node priority:
obj.set_priority(100)
Get the root node for the current node:
obj.get_root()
# or

obj.get_root_pk()
# or
obj.root_pk
Get a list with all root nodes:
cls.get_roots()
# or
cls.roots
Get root nodes queryset:
cls.get_roots_queryset()
Get a list with all the siblings:
obj.get_siblings()
# or
obj.siblings

Return True
if the current node is ancestor of target_obj:
obj.is_ancestor_of(target_obj)
Return True
if the current node is child of target_obj:
obj.is_child_of(target_obj)
Return True
if the current node is descendant of target_obj:
obj.is_descendant_of(target_obj)
Return True
if the current node is the first child:
obj.is_first_child()
Return True
if the current node is the last child:
obj.is_last_child()
Return True
if the current node is leaf (it has not children):
obj.is_leaf()
Return True
if the current node is parent of target_obj:
obj.is_parent_of(target_obj)
Return True
if the current node is root:
obj.is_root()
Return True
if the current node is root of target_obj:
obj.is_root_of(target_obj)
Return True
if the current node is sibling of target_obj:
obj.is_sibling_of(target_obj)
Update tree manually, useful after bulk updates:
cls.update_tree()
Bulk Operations
To perform bulk operations it is recommended to turn off signals, then triggering the tree update at the end:
from treenode.signals import no_signals
with no_signals():
# execute custom bulk operations
pass
# trigger tree update only once
YourModel.update_tree()
Testing
# create python virtual environment
virtualenv testing_django_treenode
# activate virtualenv
cd testing_django_treenode && . bin/activate
# clone repo
git clone https://github.com/fabiocaccamo/django-treenode.git src && cd src
# install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -r requirements-test.txt
# run tests
tox
# or
python setup.py test
# or
python -m django test --settings "tests.settings"
