The awesome feature back from the old days, except way simpler and thus, maintainable!
While you can use the widget as usual with Django, as it will be described in
the next examples, here we're going to see how to make a specific model field
automatically generate the autocomplete field using that view, using the
djhacker <https://yourlabs.io/oss/djhacker>_ module.
Example source code: test_project/select2_djhacker_formfield <https://github.com/yourlabs/django-autocomplete-light/blob/master/test_project/select2_djhacker_formfield/urls.py>_
Live demo: /admin/select2_djhacker_formfield/tmodel/add/ <http://localhost:8000/admin/select2_djhacker_formfield/tmodel/add/>_
.. code-block:: python
# Register your autocomplete view as usual
urlpatterns = [
url(
'test-autocomplete/$',
autocomplete.Select2QuerySetView.as_view(model=TModel),
name='select2_djhacker_formfield',
),
]
# Now hack your model field to always render the autocomplete field with
# that view!
import djhacker
from django import forms
djhacker.formfield(
TModel.test,
forms.ModelChoiceField,
widget=autocomplete.ModelSelect2(url='select2_djhacker_formfield')
)
The above example demonstrates how to integrate your autocomplete view and form
field automatically throughout Django without having to define custom model
forms all the time.
