Step #1 - Install the package

$ pip install django-dynamic-datatb // OR $ pip install git+https://github.com/app-generator/django-dynamic-datatb.git

Step #2 - Update Configuration, add new imports

import os, inspect import django_dyn_dt

Step #3 - Update Configuration, include the new APPs

INSTALLED_APPS = [ 'django_dyn_dt', # <-- NEW App ]

Step #4 - Update Configuration, include the new TEMPLATES DIR

TEMPLATE_DIR_DATATB = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "django_dyn_dt/templates") # <-- NEW App TEMPLATES = [ { "BACKEND": "django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates", "DIRS": [TEMPLATE_DIR_DATATB], # <-- NEW Include "APP_DIRS": True, "OPTIONS": { }, }, ]

Step #5 - Update Configuration, update STATICFILES_DIRS DIR

DYN_DB_PKG_ROOT = os.path.dirname( inspect.getfile( django_dyn_dt ) ) # <-- NEW App STATICFILES_DIRS = ( os.path.join(DYN_DB_PKG_ROOT, "templates/static"), )

Step #6 - Register the model in settings.py (DYNAMIC_DATATB section)

This sample code assumes that app1 exists and model Book is defined and migrated.

DYNAMIC_DATATB = { # SLUG -> Import_PATH  'books' : "app1.models.Book", }

Step #7 - Update routing, include APIs

from django.contrib import admin from django.urls import path, include # <-- NEW: 'include` directive added urlpatterns = [ path("admin/", admin.site.urls), path('', include('django_dyn_dt.urls')), # <-- NEW: API routing rules ] 

Step #8 - Use the Dynamic Datatable module

If the managed model is Books, the dynamic interface is /datatb/books/ and all features available.
