Export Related as JSON Admin Action by johnboxall 3 years, 10 months ago

Explanation:

I think this shortcut can be util for who uses JSON many times and does not want to write same code everytime.

Setup:

Saves the snippet as myproject/utils.py or add the code to some place in your project with same ends.

Use in a view:

from myproject.utils import render_to_json

from django.contrib.admin.models import User

def json_view(request):
    admin_user = User.objects.get(username='admin')

    return render_to_json(
        'json/example.json',
        locals(),
    )

Update:

This code can be used as complement to http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/154/ too.
