## Overview

**django-admin-deux** (pronounced "django admin two") is a complete reimagining of Django's admin interface. While maintaining familiar concepts and naming conventions, it provides superior extensibility, reusability, and modern UI/UX through a plugin-first architecture.

### Key Features

- **Plugin Architecture**: Built on [djp](https://github.com/simonw/djp), allowing easy extension and customization
- **Factory Pattern**: Views are generated dynamically, enabling composition over inheritance
- **Feature Advertising**: Fail-fast validation ensures plugins provide requested features
- **Modern UI**: Tailwind-based default theme (coming in Milestone 4)
- **Familiar API**: If you know Django admin, you'll feel right at home
- **Incremental Adoption**: Can coexist with Django's built-in admin

### Current Status

🎉 **Milestone 5 Phase 2.7 Complete** - Permissions & Authorization System

Major milestones completed:
- ✅ **Milestone 1**: Foundation (Plugin system, AdminSite, URL routing, Feature validation)
- ✅ **Milestone 2**: Django-Filter Plugin (Filtering, ordering, search via djadmin-filters)
- ✅ **Milestone 3**: Layout API & Django-Formset Integration (Forms, inline editing via djadmin-formset)
- ✅ **Milestone 4**: Developer Experience (djadmin_inspect, BaseCRUDTestCase, djadmin_apps)
- ✅ **Milestone 5 Phase 2.7**: Permissions System (Core permissions, action filtering, ViewRecordAction)

**Test Results**: 720 passing tests, 82% coverage
**Plugins Available**: djadmin-formset, djadmin-filters
**Django Support**: 5.2, 6.0
**Python Support**: 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, 3.14

## Quick Start

### Installation

```bash
# Basic installation
pip install django-admin-deux

# With all plugins (djadmin-formset + djadmin-filters)
pip install django-admin-deux[full]

# With specific plugins
pip install django-admin-deux[formset]   # Just djadmin-formset
pip install django-admin-deux[filters]   # Just djadmin-filters
```

### Basic Usage

**1. Add to your `INSTALLED_APPS`:**

```python
# settings.py
INSTALLED_APPS = [
    # ...
    'djadmin',
    # ...
]
```

**2. Create a `djadmin.py` file in your app:**

```python
# myapp/djadmin.py
from djadmin import ModelAdmin, register, Layout, Field, Fieldset, Row
from .models import Book

@register(Book)
class BookAdmin(ModelAdmin):
    list_display = ['title', 'author', 'published_date']
    search_fields = ['title', 'author']
    list_filter = ['published_date']

    # Optional: Customize form layout
    layout = Layout(
        Fieldset('Book Information',
            Field('title'),
            Row(
                Field('author', css_classes=['flex-1', 'pr-2']),
                Field('published_date', css_classes=['flex-1', 'pl-2']),
            ),
        ),
        Fieldset('Content',
            Field('description', widget='textarea', attrs={'rows': 6}),
        ),
    )
```

**3. Add to your URLs:**

```python
# urls.py
from django.urls import path, include
from djadmin import site

urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),  # Django's admin (optional)
    path('djadmin/', include((site.urls, 'djadmin'), namespace='djadmin')),
]
```

**4. Visit your admin:**

```
http://localhost:8000/djadmin/
```

## Key Features

## Architecture

### Plugin System

django-admin-deux uses [djp](https://github.com/simonw/djp) for its plugin architecture. Plugins can:

- Add mixins to views
- Provide default actions
- Modify querysets
- Add context data
- Provide CSS/JS assets

**Example plugin:**

```python
# myapp/djadmin_hooks.py
from djadmin.plugins import hookimpl

@hookimpl
def djadmin_provides_features():
    """Advertise features this plugin provides"""
    return ['search', 'filter']

@hookimpl
def djadmin_get_action_view_mixins(action):
    """Add search functionality to ListView"""
    from djadmin.actions.list_view import ListViewAction
    from .mixins import SearchMixin

    return {
        ListViewAction: [SearchMixin]
    }
```

### Feature Advertising

ModelAdmin configurations are validated at startup. If you request a feature (like search or filtering) but no plugin provides it, you'll get a clear error:

```python
class BookAdmin(ModelAdmin):
    search_fields = ['title']  # Requires 'search' feature

# If no plugin provides 'search':
# ImproperlyConfigured: ModelAdmin BookAdmin requests features {'search'}
# but no registered plugin provides them.
```

### View Factory Pattern

Views are generated dynamically using class-based factories, allowing plugins to inject mixins and customize behavior without complex inheritance chains.

```python
# Conceptual example (Milestone 2)
class ListViewFactory:
    def create_view(self, model, admin_class, plugins):
        # Collect mixins from plugins
        mixins = []
        for plugin in plugins:
            mixins.extend(plugin.get_list_view_mixins())

        # Generate view class dynamically
        view_class = type(
            f'{model.__name__}ListView',
            tuple(mixins + [BaseListView]),
            {'model': model, 'admin': admin_class}
        )
        return view_class
```

### Layout API

django-admin-deux provides a powerful Layout API for customizing form layouts with progressive enhancement:

```python
from djadmin import ModelAdmin, register, Layout, Field, Fieldset, Row

@register(Author)
class AuthorAdmin(ModelAdmin):
    layout = Layout(
        Fieldset('Personal Information',
            Row(
                Field('first_name', css_classes=['flex-1', 'pr-2']),
                Field('last_name', css_classes=['flex-1', 'pl-2']),
            ),
            Field('birth_date', label='Date of Birth'),
        ),
        Fieldset('Biography',
            Field('bio', widget='textarea', attrs={'rows': 8}),
        ),
    )
```

**Action-Specific Layouts**:

Use different layouts for create vs update actions (follows the same pattern as `create_form_class`/`update_form_class`):

```python
@register(Product)
class ProductAdmin(ModelAdmin):
    # Create-specific layout (simpler, focused on essentials)
    create_layout = Layout(
        Fieldset('New Product',
            Field('name', required=True),
            Row(
                Field('price', css_classes=['flex-1']),
                Field('cost', css_classes=['flex-1']),
            ),
        ),
    )

    # Update-specific layout (includes metadata fields)
    update_layout = Layout(
        Fieldset('Product Information',
            Field('name'),
            Field('description', widget='textarea'),
        ),
        Fieldset('Metadata',
            Field('created_at', widget=DateTimeInput(attrs={'readonly': True})),
            Field('updated_at', widget=DateTimeInput(attrs={'readonly': True})),
        ),
    )
```

**Core Features** (no plugin required):
- ✅ **Fieldsets** - Group fields with legends and descriptions
- ✅ **Rows** - Horizontal layouts using flexbox
- ✅ **Field Customization** - Labels, widgets, help text, CSS classes
- ✅ **Widget Shortcuts** - Use strings like `'textarea'`, `'email'`
- ✅ **Django Admin Migration** - Automatic conversion of `fieldsets`
- ✅ **Action-Specific Layouts** - Different layouts for create/update (`create_layout`, `update_layout`)

**Plugin Features** (with djadmin-formset):
- ✅ **Collections** - Inline editing of related objects
- ✅ **Conditional Fields** - Show/hide fields based on values
- ✅ **Computed Fields** - Auto-calculate values
- ✅ **Client-side Validation** - Instant feedback
- ✅ **Drag-and-drop** - Reorder inline items

**Learn more**: [Layout API Documentation](docs/layout-api/index.md)

## Testing

The project uses pytest with extensive test coverage:

```bash
# Run all tests
just test

# Run specific test
just test-file tests/test_plugins.py

# Run tests matching pattern
just test-match test_register

# Run with coverage report
just test-coverage
```

### Test Organization

- **`tests/`** - Infrastructure tests (plugins, URLs, validation)
- **`examples/webshop/tests/`** - Integration tests using example models

### Test Best Practices: Avoiding Test Pollution

When writing tests that register/unregister ModelAdmin classes, follow the **DynamicURLConf pattern** to avoid test pollution (tests that pass individually but fail in the suite):

```python
from django.test import TestCase, override_settings
from django.urls import clear_url_caches
from djadmin import ModelAdmin, site

# Dynamic URLconf regenerates on each access
class DynamicURLConf:
    @property
    def urlpatterns(self):
        from django.urls import path, include
        return [path('djadmin/', include(site.urls))]

@override_settings(ROOT_URLCONF=DynamicURLConf())
class TestMyFeature(TestCase):
    def setUp(self):
        # Clean registry before test
        if MyModel in site._registry:
            site.unregister(MyModel)
        self.my_objects = MyModelFactory.create_batch(5)

    def tearDown(self):
        # Clean registry and caches after test
        if MyModel in site._registry:
            site.unregister(MyModel)
        clear_url_caches()
        if hasattr(self.client, '_cached_urlconf'):
            delattr(self.client, '_cached_urlconf')

    def test_my_feature(self):
        # Register with override=True
        class MyModelAdmin(ModelAdmin):
            list_display = ['field1', 'field2']
        site.register(MyModel, MyModelAdmin, override=True)
        # ... test code
```

**Why this is needed**: Django caches URL patterns and view closures, so without this pattern, tests will use stale admin configurations from previous tests.

**Reference**: This pattern is based on https://ጮ.cc/2019/11/09/django-testing-dynamic-urlconf.html

See `tests/test_search.py` for a complete example.

### Example Models

The webshop example app provides realistic test data:

- `Category` - Hierarchical product categories
- `Product` - Products with SKU, pricing, stock
- `Customer` - Customer accounts with addresses
- `Order` - Orders with status tracking
- `OrderItem` - Line items in orders
- `Review` - Product reviews with ratings
- `Tag` - Tags (many-to-many relationship example)

All models have corresponding factory_boy factories for easy test data creation.

## Continuous Integration

The project uses GitLab CI with tox to test all Python/Django combinations:

- Python: 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, 3.14
- Django: 5.2, 6.0

Pre-commit hooks run on every commit to catch issues early:
- Ruff (linting and formatting)
- djLint (Django template linting)
- pytest (test suite)
