Features

  • Rapidly select related objects via a smooth autocomplete interface
  • A drop-in alternative to FieldPanel
  • Create new objects from the autocomplete input if your search turns up blank
  • React component can be used outside of the Wagtail admin for public-facing forms
  • Default theme shares the color scheme and styles of the Wagtail admin
  • Easy to re-theme with BEM methodology

Who’s using it?

  • The U.S. Press Freedom Tracker makes extensive use of this edit handler with its public-facing filters and content editor to rapidly select and create new related metadata objects.

Merge into wagtail/wagtail

Eventually we would like this to be merged into wagtail/wagtail. This will require some work on the Wagtail API.

  • Support endpoints for non-Page models
  • Support standard Django field lookups such as id__in
  • Create objects from the API
  • Permission system for non-administrator access to the API
