django-gm2m
===========

|copyright| 2014-2017 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 1.8, 1.10 and 1.11 and the latest minor
versions of Python (2.7 and 3.5 or 3.6).

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

Documentation
-------------

The documentation is hosted on readthedocs_. You'll find a quick start and
the description of all django-gm2m's advanced features.
