This software is a Django-based application that enables users to attach files or attachments to any model. It provides a simple and customizable interface for managing and organizing files, making it a useful tool for businesses and individuals alike.
Django-attachments is a powerful set of template tags designed for the Django framework that enables attaching any type of file to your models. The installation process is effortless, simply add attachments to your INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py within your Django project.
In addition to this, django-attachments offers an extra permission called delete_foreign_attachments to allow users to delete foreign attachments. By default, only the user who uploaded the attachment can delete it.
One of the standout features of django-attachments is its versatility for usage in different contexts. For example, in your contrib.admin, you can add AttachmentInlines to your admin options and get a list of attachments for any kind of model in your app.
Alternatively, you can use the templatetags feature to add or delete attachments using the following three tags:
- "get_attachments_for" to fetch the attachments for the provided model instance,
- "attachment_form" to render an upload form for the model instance, and
- "attachment_delete_link" to render a link to the delete view for a given attachment.
All these tags are highly customizable and come with default variable names to help you tailor them to fit your needs. Additionally, the "attachment_delete_link" tag checks automatically for permission and returns only a link if the current user has the delete_foreign_attachments permission or is the attachment's creator.
Overall, django-attachments is an excellent addition to any Django app that requires file attachments, and its highly customizable tags make it a great choice for both backend and frontend developers.
