===================== Django Suit Dashboard

.. start-badges

⚠️ Not maintained! ===========================

This project is not maintained anymore.

The reason is that it never got many users (based on Libraries.io and GitHub data), maybe because the docs were hard to read.

I'm also not happy with it: it mixes many languages at once with a deep layered architecture. That's not easy to play with.

Anyway, if you want to take over maintainership, drop me a message at [email protected], I can transfer the project or add contributors.

Create a dashboard within Django admin interface.

This application was originally designed to work within Django Suit_ (hence the name), but it is now decoupled from it, you can use it without Suit.

Here is a quick explanation of how it works:

• you write a base template to add CSS/JavaScript libraries (optional)
• you write a custom AdminSite to override default URLs and/or add others
• you write the corresponding views, inheriting from DashboardView
• each view render the base template (or an extended one) with a grid in the context (layout of rows and columns)
• columns can contain boxes of content (visual separation on the page)
• boxes can contain widgets, for which you write the HTML/CSS/JS

So basically django-suit-dashboard does not do much, it just provides a way to create a dashboard in admin interface without touching too much to HTML (which not everyone will approve).
