A reusable Django app to log actions and display them in a timeline
This project uses django.db.models.JSONField, and as such, you need:
- at least Django 3.2+
- a database supporting
django.db.models.JSONField - A modern setuptools version
Install from PyPI by running
pip install django-timeline-logger
Add 'timeline_logger' to your INSTALLED_APPS.
Run the migrations:
python manage.py migrate
A custom template tag is provided to render the message of a log entry, for example:
{% extends "timeline_logger/base.html" %}
{% load timeline %}
{% block timeline %}
<ul class="timeline__list col__22--vw">
{% for log in object_list %}
<li class="timeline__entry">
{% render_message log in_view=True %}
</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
{% endblock timeline %}
This way, you can pass extra context to the template used for the log object.
