django-gm2m

|copyright| 2014-2020 Thomas Khyn

Django generic many-to-many field implementation.

This django application exposes a GM2MField that combines the features of the standard Django ManyToManyField and GenericForeighKey and that can be used exactly the same way.

It has been tested with Django 2.2., 3.0., 3.1.* and their matching Python versions (3.5 to 3.8).

Features

• Works like the built-in Django related fields
• Creates one table per relation, like ManyToManyField, and not one big table linking anything to anything (django-generic-m2m_'s default approach)
• No need to modify nor monkey-patch the existing model classes that need to be linked
• Automatic reverse relations when an instance is added
• Related objects prefetching
• Through models support
• Deletion behaviour customization using signals
• Migrations support
