iommi is a Django-based framework that magically create pages, forms and tables with advanced out-of-the-box functionality based on your applications models - without sacrificing flexibility and control.

Major features:

• A system to project django model definitions into more high level definitions
• Forms: view models, data validation, and parsing
• Queries: filtering lists/query sets
• Tables: view models for lists/query sets, html tables, and CSV reports
• Pages: compose pages from parts like forms, tables and html fragments

All the components are written with the same philosophy of:

• Everything has a name
• Traversing a namespace is done with __ when . can't be used in normal python syntax
• Callables for advanced usage, values for the simple cases
• Late binding
• Declarative/programmatic hybrid API
• Prepackaged commonly used patterns (that can still be customized!)
• Single point customization with no boilerplate
• Escape hatches included

See philosophy for explanations of all these.

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:

See usage.

We use hammett for tests, so pip install hammett then run hammett.

There's a make test-live target for running tests interactively. You first need to pip install watchdog pyyaml argh.

For running the full tests on all supported environments: install tox then make test-all.
