API

The following are advanced configuration features for django-mongonaut. Using them requires you to subclass the mongonaut.MongoAdmin class, then instantiate and attach your subclass as an attribute to the MongoEngine model.

Note

Future versions of mongonaut will allow you to work with pymongo collections without mongoengine serving as an intermediary.

Sample Usage

# myapp/mongoadmin.py

# Import the MongoAdmin base class
from mongonaut.sites import MongoAdmin

# Import your custom models
from blog.models import Post

# Subclass MongoAdmin and add a customization
class PostAdmin(MongoAdmin):

    # Searches on the title field. Displayed in the DocumentListView.
    search_fields = ('title',)

    # provide following fields for view in the DocumentListView
    list_fields = ('title', "published", "pub_date")

# Instantiate the PostAdmin subclass
# Then attach PostAdmin to your model
Post.mongoadmin = PostAdmin()

MongoAdmin Listing

All of these fields are attached to mongonaut.sites.MongoAdmin.
