The Django admin documentation generatorLink para este cabeçalho#

Visão GeralLink para este cabeçalho#

To activate the admindocs, you will need to do the following:

• Add django.contrib.admindocs to your INSTALLED_APPS.

• Add path('admin/doc/', include('django.contrib.admindocs.urls')) to your urlpatterns. Make sure it’s included before the 'admin/' entry, so that requests to /admin/doc/ don’t get handled by the latter entry.

• Install the docutils Python module version <0.22 (https://docutils.sourceforge.io/).

• Optional: Using the admindocs bookmarklets requires django.contrib.admindocs.middleware.XViewMiddleware to be installed.

Once those steps are complete, you can start browsing the documentation by going to your admin interface and clicking the “Documentation” link in the upper right of the page.

Documentation helpersLink para este cabeçalho#

The following special markup can be used in your docstrings to easily create hyperlinks to other components:

Model referenceLink para este cabeçalho#

The models section of the admindocs page describes each model in the system along with all the fields, properties, and methods available on it. Relationships to other models appear as hyperlinks. Descriptions are pulled from help_text attributes on fields or from docstrings on model methods.

A model with useful documentation might look like this:

class BlogEntry(models.Model):
    """
    Stores a single blog entry, related to :model:`blog.Blog` and
    :model:`auth.User`.
    """

    slug = models.SlugField(help_text="A short label, generally used in URLs.")
    author = models.ForeignKey(
        User,
        models.SET_NULL,
        blank=True,
        null=True,
    )
    blog = models.ForeignKey(Blog, models.CASCADE)
    ...

    def publish(self):
        """Makes the blog entry live on the site."""
        ...

View referenceLink para este cabeçalho#

Each URL in your site has a separate entry in the admindocs page, and clicking on a given URL will show you the corresponding view. Helpful things you can document in your view function docstrings include:

• A short description of what the view does.

• The context, or a list of variables available in the view’s template.

• The name of the template or templates that are used for that view.

Por exemplo:

from django.shortcuts import render

from myapp.models import MyModel


def my_view(request, slug):
    """
    Display an individual :model:`myapp.MyModel`.

    **Context**

    ``mymodel``
        An instance of :model:`myapp.MyModel`.

    **Template:**

    :template:`myapp/my_template.html`
    """
    context = {"mymodel": MyModel.objects.get(slug=slug)}
    return render(request, "myapp/my_template.html", context)

Template tags and filters referenceLink para este cabeçalho#

The tags and filters admindocs sections describe all the tags and filters that come with Django (in fact, the built-in tag reference and built-in filter reference documentation come directly from those pages). Any tags or filters that you create or are added by a third-party app will show up in these sections as well.

Template referenceLink para este cabeçalho#

While admindocs does not include a place to document templates by themselves, if you use the :template:`path/to/template.html` syntax in a docstring the resulting page will verify the path of that template with Django’s template loaders. This can be a handy way to check if the specified template exists and to show where on the filesystem that template is stored.

Included BookmarkletsLink para este cabeçalho#

One bookmarklet is available from the admindocs page:

Documentação para esta página

Leva você de qualquer página para a documentação da view que gera tal página.

Using this bookmarklet requires that XViewMiddleware is installed and that you are logged into the Django admin as a User with is_staff set to True.
