Can model views in Flask-Admin hyperlink to other model views?
Some example code based on Joes' answer:
class MyFooView(ModelView):
def _user_formatter(view, context, model, name):
return Markup(
u"<a href='%s'>%s</a>" % (
url_for('user.edit_view', id=model.user.id),
model.user
)
) if model.user else u""
column_formatters = {
'user': _user_formatter
}
Use column_formatters
for this: https://flask-admin.readthedocs.org/en/latest/api/mod_model/#flask.ext.admin.model.BaseModelView.column_formatters
Idea is pretty simple: for a field that you want to display as hyperlink, either generate a HTML string and wrap it with Jinja2 Markup
class (so it won't be escaped in templates) or use macro
helper: https://github.com/mrjoes/flask-admin/blob/master/flask_admin/model/template.py
Macro helper allows you to use custom Jinja2 macros in overridden template, which moves presentational logic to templates.
As far as URL is concerned, all you need is to find endpoint name generated (or provided) for the User
model and do url_for('userview.edit_view', id=model.id)
to generate the link.
