Parameters:

• index – Filter index in _filters array
• flt – Filter instance

get_filters()

Return a list of filter objects.

If your model backend implementation does not support filters, override this method and return None.

get_form()

Get form class.

If self.form is set, will return it and will call self.scaffold_form otherwise.

Override to implement customized behavior.

get_list(page, sort_column, sort_desc, search, filters, execute=True)

Parameters:

• page – Page number
• sort_column – Sort column
• sort_desc – Sort descending
• search – Search criteria
• filters – List of applied fiters
• execute – Run query immediately or not

get_list_columns()

Returns a list of the model field names. If column_list was set, returns it. Otherwise calls scaffold_list_columns to generate the list from the model.

index_view(*args, **kwargs)

List view

init_actions()

Initialize list of actions for the current administrative view.

init_search()

is_sortable(name)

Verify if column is sortable.

Parameters:name – Column name.

is_valid_filter(filter)

Validate if it is valid MongoEngine filter

Parameters:

• form – Form instance
• id – id of the object that is going to be edited

on_model_change(form, model, is_created)

Perform some actions after a model is created or updated.
