This is useful +when objects are accidentally deleted and need to be recovered with their exact +original data. + + +Overview +~~~~~~~~ + +When you delete an object tracked by django-simple-history, a historical record with +``history_type = "-"`` is created. The ``HistoricalRevertMixin`` allows administrators +to restore these deleted objects through: + +1. **Bulk Admin Action**: Select multiple deletion records and restore them at once +2. **Restore Button**: Click a button next to individual deletion records to restore them + + +Basic Usage +~~~~~~~~~~~ + +To use this mixin, create an admin class for your model's historical model that +inherits from both ``HistoricalRevertMixin`` and Django's ``ModelAdmin``: + +.. code-block:: python + + from django.contrib import admin + from simple_history.admin import HistoricalRevertMixin + from .models import Product + + @admin.register(Product.history.model) + class HistoricalProductAdmin(HistoricalRevertMixin, admin.ModelAdmin): + list_display = ("id", "name", "price", "history_date", "history_type", "revert_button") + list_filter = ("history_type",) + +.. important:: + + ``HistoricalRevertMixin`` **must** come before ``ModelAdmin`` in the inheritance list. + This ensures the mixin's methods properly override the base admin methods. + + +Features +~~~~~~~~ + +Revert Button +^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Add the ``revert_button`` method to your ``list_display`` to show a restore button +for each deletion record: + +.. code-block:: python + + class HistoricalProductAdmin(HistoricalRevertMixin, admin.ModelAdmin): + list_display = ("name", "history_date", "history_type", "revert_button") + +The button will display: + +- **🔄 Restore** button for deletion records that haven't been restored yet +- **✓ Already Restored** message if the object has already been restored +- **-** (dash) for non-deletion records (creates, updates) + + +Admin Action +^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +The mixin automatically adds a "Revert selected deleted objects" action to the +admin changelist.

The mixin retrieves the historical record +2. Validates it's a deletion record (``history_type == "-"``) +3. Checks if the object already exists (prevents duplicates) +4. Creates a new instance with the exact field values from the historical record +5. Restores the object with its **original primary key** +6. Shows a success/warning/error message +7. Creates a new history record for the restoration + + +Restoring via Admin Action +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +When you use the bulk action: + +1. Processes each selected historical record +2.

This feature provides a safety net for accidental deletions, allowing recovery of objects with all their original data intact. + +## Problem Solved + +When using django-simple-history, deleted objects are preserved in historical records, but there was no built-in way to restore them. Administrators had to manually recreate deleted objects or write custom code to restore them. This mixin solves that problem by providing a user-friendly interface for object restoration. + +## Key Features + +### 1. **Restore Button** +- Displays a visual "🔄 Restore" button in the admin list view for deletion records +- Shows "✓ Already Restored" for objects that have been recovered +- Provides instant, one-click restoration for individual objects + +### 2. **Bulk Admin Action** +- "Revert selected deleted objects" action for batch restoration +- Process multiple deleted objects simultaneously +- Intelligent filtering to only restore valid deletion records + +### 3. **Safety & Validation** +- **Duplicate Prevention**: Checks if object already exists before restoring +- **Deletion Record Validation**: Only processes records with `history_type == "-"` +- **Error Handling**: Gracefully handles restoration failures with clear error messages +- **ID Preservation**: Restores objects with their original primary keys + +### 4. **User Feedback** +- Clear success messages with object details and IDs +- Warnings for already-restored or non-deletion records +- Error messages for failed restorations +- Detailed count summaries for bulk operations + +## How It Works + +1. **Detection**: Identifies deletion records in historical data (`history_type == "-"`) +2. **Validation**: Verifies the record is a deletion and object doesn't already exist +3. **Restoration**: Recreates the object with exact field values from historical record +4. **ID Preservation**: Maintains original primary key for referential integrity +5. **History Tracking**: Creates new history record documenting the restoration + +## Technical Implementation + +### Core Components + +- **`revert_button(obj)`**: Renders restore button in admin list display +- **`handle_revert_from_button(request)`**: Processes single-object restoration +- **`revert_deleted_object(request, queryset)`**: Handles bulk restoration action +- **`get_actions(request)`**: Registers the revert action with Django admin +- **`changelist_view(request, extra_context)`**: Integrates button clicks with admin + +### Data Integrity + +- Preserves all field values from the deletion point +- Maintains original primary key (ID) +- Properly handles foreign key relationships +- Creates new historical record for the restoration +- Supports all Django field types + +## Usage

("history_type", "history_date") + search_fields = ("name", "sku") +``` + +## Benefits + +1. **User-Friendly**: No code required for administrators to restore objects +2. **Safe**: Multiple validation checks prevent data corruption +3. **Efficient**: Batch operations for restoring multiple objects +4. **Transparent**: Clear feedback and comprehensive logging +5. **Flexible**: Works with any model using django-simple-history +6. **Complete**: Preserves all data including original IDs and relationships + +## Use Cases + +- **Accidental Deletion Recovery**: Quickly restore mistakenly deleted records +- **Data Auditing**: Review and restore objects from specific deletion events +- **Bulk Operations**: Recover multiple objects deleted in error +- **Testing & Development**: Easily restore test data after deletion +- **User Error Correction**: Allow support teams to undo user mistakes + +## Testing + +Comprehensive test suite with 19 tests covering: +- Button display logic (4 tests) +- Button restoration actions (4 tests) +- Bulk admin actions (6 tests) +- Django admin integration (3 tests) +- Data integrity verification (2 tests) + +All tests verify: +- Correct button rendering +-

and configuration guide +- Code examples with real models +- Feature descriptions and workflows +- API reference with all methods +- Safety considerations and limitations +- Tips and best practices + +## Impact + +This feature significantly improves the django-simple-history admin experience by: +- Reducing time to recover from accidental deletions +- Eliminating need for custom restoration code

Compatibility**: 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, 3.14 +- **Django Compatibility**: 4.2, 5.0, 5.1, 5.2, 6.0, main +- **Dependencies**: Only django-simple-history (no additional packages) +- **Database Support**: All Django-supported databases +- **Performance**: Minimal overhead, uses standard Django ORM operations + +## Future Enhancements + +Potential improvements for future versions: +-

This feature provides a safety net for accidental deletions, allowing recovery of objects with all their original data intact. - -## Problem Solved - -When using django-simple-history, deleted objects are preserved in historical records, but there was no built-in way to restore them. Administrators had to manually recreate deleted objects or write custom code to restore them. This mixin solves that problem by providing a user-friendly interface for object restoration. - -## Key Features - -### 1. **Restore Button** -- Displays a visual "🔄 Restore" button in the admin list view for deletion records -- Shows "✓ Already Restored" for objects that have been recovered -- Provides instant, one-click restoration for individual objects - -### 2. **Bulk Admin Action** -- "Revert selected deleted objects" action for batch restoration -- Process multiple deleted objects simultaneously -- Intelligent filtering to only restore valid deletion records - -### 3. **Safety & Validation** -- **Duplicate Prevention**: Checks if object already exists before restoring -- **Deletion Record Validation**: Only processes records with `history_type == "-"` -- **Error Handling**: Gracefully handles restoration failures with clear error messages -- **ID Preservation**: Restores objects with their original primary keys - -### 4. **User Feedback** -- Clear success messages with object details and IDs -- Warnings for already-restored or non-deletion records -- Error messages for failed restorations -- Detailed count summaries for bulk operations - -## How It Works - -1. **Detection**: Identifies deletion records in historical data (`history_type == "-"`) -2. **Validation**: Verifies the record is a deletion and object doesn't already exist -3. **Restoration**: Recreates the object with exact field values from historical record -4. **ID Preservation**: Maintains original primary key for referential integrity -5. **History Tracking**: Creates new history record documenting the restoration - -## Technical Implementation - -### Core Components - -- **`revert_button(obj)`**: Renders restore button in admin list display -- **`handle_revert_from_button(request)`**: Processes single-object restoration -- **`revert_deleted_object(request, queryset)`**: Handles bulk restoration action -- **`get_actions(request)`**: Registers the revert action with Django admin -- **`changelist_view(request, extra_context)`**: Integrates button clicks with admin - -### Data Integrity - -- Preserves all field values from the deletion point -- Maintains original primary key (ID) -- Properly handles foreign key relationships -- Creates new historical record for the restoration -- Supports all Django field types - -## Usage Example - -```python -from django.contrib import admin -from simple_history.admin import HistoricalRevertMixin -from .models import Product - -@admin.register(Product.history.model) -class HistoricalProductAdmin(HistoricalRevertMixin, admin.ModelAdmin): - list_display = ( - "name", - "sku", - "price", - "history_date", - "history_type", - "revert_button" - ) - list_filter = ("history_type", "history_date") - search_fields = ("name", "sku") -``` - -## Benefits - -1. **User-Friendly**: No code required for administrators to restore objects -2. **Safe**: Multiple validation checks prevent data corruption -3. **Efficient**: Batch operations for restoring multiple objects -4. **Transparent**: Clear feedback and comprehensive logging -5. **Flexible**: Works with any model using django-simple-history -6. **Complete**: Preserves all data including original IDs and relationships - -## Use Cases - -- **Accidental Deletion Recovery**: Quickly restore mistakenly deleted records -- **Data Auditing**: Review and restore objects from specific deletion events -- **Bulk Operations**: Recover multiple objects deleted in error -- **Testing & Development**: Easily restore test data after deletion -- **User Error Correction**: Allow support teams to undo user mistakes - -## Testing - -Comprehensive test suite with 19 tests covering: -- Button display logic (4 tests) -- Button restoration actions (4 tests) -- Bulk admin actions (6 tests) -- Django admin integration (3 tests) -- Data integrity verification (2 tests) - -All tests verify: -- Correct button rendering -- Successful restoration with ID preservation -- Duplicate prevention -- Error handling -- Message display -- History record creation - -## Documentation - -Complete documentation including: -- Setup and configuration guide -- Code examples with real models -- Feature descriptions and workflows -- API reference with all methods -- Safety considerations and limitations -- Tips and best practices - -## Impact - -This feature significantly improves the django-simple-history admin experience by: -- Reducing time to recover from accidental deletions -- Eliminating need for custom restoration code -- Providing audit trail for all restorations -- Increasing confidence in delete operations -- Enhancing overall data management capabilities - -## Technical Specifications - -- **Python Compatibility**: 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, 3.14 -- **Django Compatibility**: 4.2, 5.0, 5.1, 5.2, 6.0, main -- **Dependencies**: Only django-simple-history (no additional packages) -- **Database Support**: All Django-supported databases -- **Performance**: Minimal overhead, uses standard Django ORM operations - -## Future Enhancements - -Potential improvements for future versions: -- Confirmation dialog for restore actions -- Preview of data before restoration -- Batch deletion/restoration history -- Restore with modifications -- Time-based filtering for deletions -
