Django Smuggler is a pluggable application for Django Web Framework
_ to
easily dump/load fixtures via the automatically-generated administration
interface. A fixture is file with model data serialized to e.g. JSON or XML
that Django knows how to import to the database.
Smuggler is especially useful for transporting database data between production and development environments, but can also be used as a backup tool.
Project page http://github.com/semente/django-smuggler Translations https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/django-smuggler/
.. _Django Web Framework
: http://www.djangoproject.com
Smuggler is in the Python Package Index (PyPI)
_ and you can easily install
the latest stable version of it using the tools pip
or
easy_install
. Try::
pip install django-smuggler
or::
easy_install django-smuggler
.. _Python Package Index (PyPI)
: http://pypi.python.org
Alternatively, you can install Smuggler from source code running the follow
command on directory that contains the file setup.py
::
python setup.py install
After installation you need configure your project to recognizes the Smuggler
application adding 'smuggler'
to your INSTALLED_APPS
setting and setup
the project URLConf like follow::
urlpatterns = [ # ... path('admin/', include('smuggler.urls')), # before admin url patterns! path('admin/', admin.site.urls), ]
Then try access these urls:
/admin/load/ <http://127.0.0.1/admin/load/>
_, to load data from uploaded
files or files on SMUGGLER_FIXTURE_DIR;
/admin/dump/ <http://127.0.0.1/admin/dump/>
_, to download data from
whole project;
You can also pass in a querystring like
/admin/dump/?app_label=flatpages,auth,yourapp.model
to specify what
must be dumped.
/admin/APP_LABEL/dump/ <http://127.0.0.1/admin/APP_LABEL/dump/>
_, to
download data from a app;
/admin/APP_LABEL/MODEL_LABEL/dump/ <http://127.0.0.1/admin/APP_LABEL/MODEL_LABEL/dump/>
_, to download data
from a model;
If you can access the URLs above, the application was setup correctly. Note that these URLs are accessible only by superusers.
Smuggler also provides a template to show buttons for dump and load data on
change list page (change_list.html
). You can setup the ModelAdmin you are
interested like follow::
class ExampleAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
change_list_template = 'smuggler/change_list.html'
...
Smuggler has the following settings available. You can set them in your project
settings.py
. If you doesn't set them it will assume the default values:
SMUGGLER_EXCLUDE_LIST List of models to be excluded from dump. Use the form 'app_label.ModelName'. Default: [].
SMUGGLER_FIXTURE_DIR Uploaded fixtures are stored in this directory (if requested). Default: None.
SMUGGLER_FORMAT Format for dumped files. Any of the serialization formats supported by Django, json, xml and in some cases yaml. Default: 'json'.
SMUGGLER_INDENT Indentation for dumped files. Default: 2.
Buttons on change_list.html:
