Datatables glyphicon
actions are rendered in the single column of datatable, instead of each action per column for
better utilization of the display space.
Static assets are moved to '/djk' subdirectory, minimizing the risk of conflicts with third party assets.
Updated to latest versions of Knockout.js / jQuery / Bootstrap 3 (should also work with not-too-old ones).
viewmodels AJAX response routing is rewritten as ViewModelRouter
class with default instance
vmRouter
. It now supports binding viewmodel handlers to Javascript class instances methods.

NestedList
internally used by renderNestedList for greater flexibility of client-side Javascript nested
lists rendering. NestedList
now supports ordered maps via _.ODict

AjaxForms
, for better flexibility.

Better support for datatable grids that use RAW queries with LEFT JOIN
, which may have multiple rows with the same
pkVal
equal to null
.
Improvements in Selenium automation testing: better handling of automation commands, more of commands implemented, much larger test coverage.
- Numerous bugfixes, including related field queries support in FilteredRawQuerySet.
Large improvements in Selenium testing support: additional commands are implemented, auto-retry on DOM timeout, fixtures loading / saving which allows to skip already debugged parts of tests, saving developer's time.
ContextMiddleware supports request mocking and request-time storage.
FilteredRawQuerySet supports Q expressions (Q objects) with relation mapping.
BaseFilterView
/ KoGridView - basic support for Q expressions (currently is used for None
value of field
filter), support for in
query for choice
filter value via the list of values.

introduced $.SuperChain
class.
"django.admin-like" AJAX functionality was implemented via KoGridView class-based view (CBV) at server-side with corresponding Knockout.js templates and Javascript classes at client-side. Besides providing standard CRUD actions and filters, it allows to implement arbitrary actions in descendant classes and quickly design django.admin-like user interfaces in non-admin views. AJAX calls also minimize server HTTP traffic, reducing network bandwitch and making the UI more responsive.
New ForeignKeyGridWidget was developed which provides ForeignKeyRawIdWidget-like functionality in non-admin ModelForm classes to select foreign key fields value via AJAX query / response.
Support of auto-instantiating Javascript classes with binding these to selected DOM nodes with 'component' css class via Components class.

for Jinja2 template with current context:
{% extends 'base_min.html' %} {% load jinja %} {% load staticfiles %} {% block main %} {% jinja 'bs_list.htm' with _render_=1 view=view object_list=object_list is_paginated=is_paginated page_obj=page_obj %} {% endblock main %}
