# django-admin-list-filter-dropdown
A Django admin filter implementation that renders as a dropdown.
If you have more than ten values for a field that you want to filter by in
Django admin, the filtering sidebar gets long, cluttered and hard to use.
This app contains the `DropdownFilter` class that renders as a drop-down in the
filtering sidebar to avoid this problem.
# Usage
Install:
```sh
pip install django-admin-list-filter-dropdown
```
Enable in `settings.py`:
```py
INSTALLED_APPS = (
...
'django_admin_listfilter_dropdown',
...
)
```
Use in `admin.py`:
```py
from django_admin_listfilter_dropdown.filters import DropdownFilter, RelatedDropdownFilter, ChoiceDropdownFilter
class EntityAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
...
list_filter = (
# for ordinary fields
('a_charfield', DropdownFilter),
# for choice fields
('a_choicefield', ChoiceDropdownFilter),
# for related fields
('a_foreignkey_field', RelatedDropdownFilter),
)
```
Example of a custom filter that uses the provided template:
```py
class CustomFilter(SimpleListFilter):
template = 'django_admin_listfilter_dropdown/dropdown_filter.html'
def lookups(self, request, model_admin):
...
def queryset(self, request, queryset):
...
```
