Django admin filters + select2 + loading many options asynchronously

[Federico Capoano]

Hi everyone,

when adding adming filters by foreign key in the admin, sometimes the possible values are too many to load.

So I am thinking, why not load values asynchronously and show these with select2?
Probably only a certain number of values should be fetched and then while scrolling more values should be loaded.

I am wondering, is there any solution for this already?

Thanks in advance

Best regards

You mean like https://pypi.org/project/django-autocomplete-light/ ?

Alternatively, there is : https://pypi.org/project/django-admin-autocomplete-filter/ 

(My own issue with that one s that does not necessarily match any custom styling, but that is probably not a problem for most.)
