DartCMS Modules configuration

You can specify custom runtime configuration for DartCMS modules. We are using field config inside modules.Module model to define it. It holds JSON structure.

At the moment, only basic configuration is supported:

{
    "model": "my_app.ModelClass",
    "form": {
        "fields": ["name", "date_created"],
        "form_class": "my_app.MyFormClass"
    }
}

model and form_class values must be specified in format <app_label>.<class_name>. Here we are assuming, that modules with your models are named as models and modules with forms are named as forms. But you can redefine it with settings MODELS_MODULE_NAME and FORMS_MODULE_NAME. For more information, please look inside dartcms.utils.loading module.

Tiny modules management

From time to time, you need to manage some tiny model. It’s overhead to create url scheme for such config. We are lazy, so we are providing you mechanism of Dictionaries. You can create modules.Module instance with dict- prefix in slug field. Then, your request in DartCMS will be handled by special module named dicts. Use runtime configuration here to setup model class.
