JavaScript support

[codingjoe]

Hi there,

This is just what I was looking for, really appreciate the good work <3

I noticed the JavaScript code might need a little work following the issue to get this into Django admin itself. I am the dude who merged select2 into the admin and have some experience with Django's love hate relationship with JavaScript. If you are looking for some help improving your JS code and potentially paving the way to get this into Django itself, I'd be happy to help.

Best,
Joe

Hi @codingjoe,

I was wondering what was the work required to merge this extensions functionality inside django core?

Since Django dropped the citext integration, I don't know how people would feel about adding JS code for hstore support. A good first step would be to create an issue.
However, a working 3rd party solution with community interested helps.

I'd love to invest some time here, but I haven't really heard back from a maintainer.

This seems to be the problem, i think the better alternative here is to fork it and continue development that way.

I would really like to contribute to this repository but everything seems very inactive here

Hi, @codingjoe, sorry for ping.

I have decided to hard fork the project ( the code was quite old and very error prone to be honest ).

Here is :

• The repo
• Pypi Package
• My reasoning :
  • Hard fork at django-hstore-widget #27 (comment)

I am very open to any suggestions you have regarding this package.

thank you.
