Autocomplete filters

Unfold provides two different types of autocomplete filters: AutocompleteSelectFilter and AutocompleteSelectMultipleFilter. Both of them are implemented in unfold.contrib.filters so make sure this app is in your INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py.

All the referenced fields must be ForeignKey or ManyToManyField fields and the same time the referenced admin model must have defined search_fields attribute otherwise the application will raise an error.

# admin.py

from django.contrib import admin
from django.contrib.auth.models import User

from unfold.contrib.filters.admin import (
    AutocompleteSelectFilter,
    AutocompleteSelectMultipleFilter
)

@admin.register(User)
class YourModelAdmin(ModelAdmin):
    list_filter = (
        # Autocomplete filter
        ["other_model_field", AutocompleteSelectFilter],

        # Autocomplete multiple filter
        ["other_multiple_model_field", AutocompleteSelectMultipleFilter],
    )
