django-simple-menu

django-simple-menu is an entirely code based menu system, because, who really wants to define their menus inside Django Admin?..

It's simple to use, yet provides enough flexibility to provide unlimited children menus, per-request generation and checking of menu items, badges, and more.

Quickstart

Requirements: Python 3.6+, Django 3.2+

Note: While this package does support Python 3.6 and 3.7 as well as Django 4.0, we do not test the package under these versions and may miss some bugs.

1. Install the django-simple-menu package.
2. Add simple_menu to your INSTALLED_APPS.
   • please ensure that you have django.template.context_processors.request listed under TEMPLATES[...]["OPTIONS"]["context_processors"].
3. Create menus.py inside each app you want to create a menu for and define said menus using the Menu and MenuItem classes you can import from the simple_menu package.
4. In your templates, load the template tags ({% load simple_menu %}) and call {% generate_menu %} inside a block. Your context will be populated with a new object named menus. You can now iterate over it to render your menus.
