I am trying to understand how to use django-autocomplete-light for an existing project. This seems like a good autocomplete solution for django for which I am already using normal ModelChoiceFields.
So, let's say that I have a Model named MyModel that has an id and a name. What I'd like to know is the simplest possible way of creating a form widget that would provide me the same functionality with
mymodel = forms.ModelChoiceField( required=True, queryset=ships.models.Authority.objects.all() , )
so I'd be able to add that widget to any form I wanted in order to select instances of MyModel without using selec.t
What are the required steps to have that ? I've already added 'autocomplete_light' to INSTALLED_APPS and
url(r'autocomplete/', include('autocomplete_light.urls')),
to urls.py and
import autocomplete_light
autocomplete_light.autodiscover()
before
admin.autodiscover()
however I am getting confused with what to do next :(
Please don't point me in the documentation I've already read it thoroughly.
