django-gm2m
|copyright| 2014-2020 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 2.2., 3.0., 3.1., 3.2., 4.0.* and their matching Python versions (3.7 to 3.10).

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
