Creating a CRUD View

A CRUD view connects a model, a table class, and a form class into a single endpoint that handles listing, creating, editing, and deleting records.

Extend BaseCrudView in your module's views.py:

from ...packages.crud.base import BaseCrudView
from .tables import PatientTable
from .forms import PatientForm

class PatientCrudView(BaseCrudView):
    page_title = "Patients"
    add_btn_title = "Add Patient"   # required — must not be empty
    table = PatientTable
    form = PatientForm

    def display_add_button_check(self, request):
        return True

Required Attributes

Attribute	Description
page_title	Title shown on the CRUD page header
add_btn_title	Label on the "Add" button — required, never leave empty
table	Your ModelTable subclass
form	Your BaseForm subclass

Wire It Up in urls.py

from django.urls import path
from .views import PatientCrudView

urlpatterns = [
    path("patients/", PatientCrudView.as_view(), name="patient-crud"),
]

:::tip Always add a trailing slash URL patterns in Zango must end with / — e.g., path("patients/", ...) not path("patients", ...). :::

Register the URL in settings.json

Add the module's URL to your app's settings.json so Zango picks it up:

{
  "modules": [
    {
      "name": "patients",
      "path": "backend/patients",
      "url": "patients/"
    }
  ]
}
