Walkthrough

A new pattern for creating Django admin filters is introduced. The README adds documentation on using a new ChoiceListFilter class and an adminfilter_factory utility. In the code, both ChoiceListFilter and the factory function are implemented, enabling concise, dictionary-driven admin filters with customizable query logic.

Changes

File(s) Change Summary
README.md Added documentation for "Simpler SimpleListFilters", including usage examples and explanations.
django_adminlink/admin.py Added ChoiceListFilter class and adminfilter_factory function for reusable admin filters.

Poem

🐇
In the garden of Django, so neat and so spry,
New filters now bloom as the queries hop by.
With choices and factories, code’s light as a feather—
Admins can filter and search with such pleasure!
Simpler and swifter, the docs now reveal,
How rabbits make filters a magical deal.

184-187: Consider improving the verbose name normalization.

The current implementation capitalizes only the first letter, which may not produce optimal results for multi-word parameter names.

Consider using title case for better formatting:

-    if verbose_name is None:
-        verbose_name = default_verbose_name.capitalize()
+    if verbose_name is None:
+        verbose_name = default_verbose_name.title()

This would convert "archive_status" to "Archive Status" instead of "Archive status".

125-136: Fix import typo and add language specification to code block.

There's a typo in the import statement and the code block should specify Python as the language.

138-138: Fix spelling error.

There's a spelling error that affects readability.

Apply this diff to fix the spelling:

-so a dictionary that maps the key of the filter on a 2-tuple with the verbose name as first item, and the Django filter (a `Q` object) as second one. Because it is a dictionary, it is also imppsible to specify the same key twice.

129-135: Verify the example syntax consistency.

The example shows the ChoiceListFilter class usage but there are some syntax issues in the dictionary definition that should be addressed for clarity.

Apply this diff to fix the dictionary syntax:

     choices = {
-      'active': ('Active', ~Q(archived_at__lte=Now()))
-      'archived': ('Archived', Q(archived_at__lte=Now()))
+      'active': ('Active', ~Q(archived_at__lte=Now())),
+      'archived': ('Archived', Q(archived_at__lte=Now()))
     }

The missing comma after the first tuple could cause confusion for readers copying the example.

167-181: LGTM! Well-designed filter pattern.

The ChoiceListFilter class provides a clean abstraction for Django admin filters with predefined choices. The implementation correctly:

  • Uses a dictionary mapping keys to tuples of display labels and Q objects
  • Extracts display labels for the lookups method
  • Applies the appropriate filter condition in the queryset method
  • Handles missing values gracefully
