[Suggestion] Foreign key field about django-jsonform HOT 4 CLOSED

This sounds definitely interesting.

from django-jsonform.

Hello, thank you for this suggestion. I like the idea. I will try to add something similar in the next version (but it will take some time).

I'll provide an autocomplete widget and when the user starts typing, it will send AJAX requests to the server.

Example:

 'model_id': {
     'title': 'entity',
     'type': 'number',
+    'widget': 'autocomplete',
+    'handler': '/url/of/ajax-view/'
 }

The requests will be made to your view specified by the handler keyword. This puts you in complete control of what you want to return in the response. So this feature could be used for anything, not just foreign keys.

Let me know what you think.

Take a look at this pkg: https://github.com/pyutil/django-admin-autocomplete-all

from django-jsonform.

I've added an Autocomplete widget in v2.12.0. It can be used for getting ForeignKey ids from the server.

Please upgrade and test it out.
