Django Web Sheets

Web Sheets is a simple module to allow editing models on an online spreadsheet. It is meant to be pythonic and simple. It is based on the excelent django import export resource system.

Getting started

1. Install the module with PIP
2. Insure you add 'websheets' to your settings.py :

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    'websheets',
    ...
]

2. Create some models, we use the Book / Category / Author model from (Django Import Export Documentation](https://django-import-export.readthedocs.io/en/stable/getting_started.html)
3. Create a View sublcassing websheets.views.WebSheetsView

from websheets.views import WebSheetView
from import_export.resources import ModelResource
from demo.models import Book, Category

class BookResource(ModelResource):

    class Meta:
        model = Book

class CategoryResource(ModelResource):

    class Meta:
        model = Category

class MySheetView(WebSheetView):
    sheet_resource_classes=[("Books",BookResource),
                            ("Cateogories", CategoryResource)]

3. Add it to url.py

   path('test1/', MySheetView.as_view()),

And you're done. For advanced users it is interesting to override get_sheet_resource_classes to create sheets dynamically and get_queryset(sheetname) to fine tune what data shows in each sheet.
