django-treenode
Probably the best abstract model / admin for your tree based stuff.
Features
- Fast - get
ancestors,children,descendants,parent,root,siblings,treewith no queries - Synced - in-memory model instances are automatically updated
- Compatibility - you can easily add
treenodeto 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
treenodetosettings.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 makemigrationsandpython 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',
},
}

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_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"
