Looking for Django tutorial that illustrates master/detail data models

[ldm999]

Eg:
Lists (books, movies, restaurants) and multiple items per list.

Web forms would allow user to:
- Add/change/delete lists
- Add/change/delete list items

TIA

Have you actually read the tutorial on the Django site? The Poll
application covers exactly this.

Thanks for your response.

I should have been more clear. I'm looking for examples of views/forms
to manage the children of a parent child model. Eg how to add/change/
delete a book on a book list.

I don't recall the Django tutorial covering this and I just looked
again. It appears to focus more on the Django Admin than on custom
forms. And what it does cover wrt forms seems mostly focused on a form
for a stand-alone model rather than the child of a prent model where
you need the context of the parent to make sure you add a new item to
the right parent, and edit/delete the correct item based on its
parent.

I'll take another detailed look at the official tutorial to see if
this is covered.

Hi. I wondering if you have found a way about your problem? Im actually researching on this problem as well, unfortunately, haven't found a solution to this. If you have, I would really appreciate if you share it. Thanks.

I recommend taking a look at Formsets and, in particular, Inline Formsets.

The documentation:

ModelForms: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/topics/forms/modelforms/

ModelFormsets: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/topics/forms/modelforms/#model-formsets

InlineFormsets: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/topics/forms/modelforms/#inline-formsets

 

The API documentation:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/ref/forms/models/

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/ref/forms/models/#inlineformset-factory

 

You may want to use something like Django dynamic forms on the frontend to utilize JavaScript.
