iommi unknown documentation

Your first pick for a django power chord

iommi is a toolkit to build web apps faster. It’s built on Django but goes a lot further.

It has:

• forms: that feel familiar, but can handle growing complexity better than Django’s forms

• tables: that are powerful out of the box and scale up to arbitrary complexity

• a system to compose parts:, like forms, menus, and tables, into bigger pages

• tools that will speed up your development like live edit, jump to code, great feedback for missing select/prefetch related, a profiler, and more.

• great error messages when you make a mistake

Example:

class IndexPage(Page):
    title = html.h1('Supernaut')
    welcome_text = 'This is a discography of the best acts in music!'

    artists = Table(auto__model=Artist, page_size=5)
    albums = Table(
        auto__model=Album,
        page_size=5,
    )
    tracks = Table(auto__model=Album, page_size=5)


urlpatterns = [
    path('', IndexPage().as_view()),
]

This creates a page with three separate tables, a header and some text:

Finding your way around¶

These docs are split by what you need right now:

• Tutorials are lessons to work through when you’re new. Start here.

• How-to guides answer “how do I …?” when you have a job to do.

• Reference is the dry description of every knob iommi has.

• Explanation covers the thinking behind iommi, so your code comes out idiomatic.
