Django-ViewFlow: How to add CRUD views to flow - django

Question

I've recently come across the Viewflow library for Django which I appears to be a very powerful tool for creating complex workflows.
My app is a simple ticketing system were the workflow is started by creating a Ticket, then a user should be able to create zero or more WorkLog's associated with the ticket via a CRUD page(s), similar to the standard Django admin change_list/detail.
What should the template for the list view look like? I would like to have the UI integrated into the library's frontend.
The flow clearly utilises the following views:
1) CreateView for Ticket
2a) ListView of WorkLog's, template has controls 'back', 'add' (goes to step 2b), 'done' (goes to step 3).
2b) CreateView for WorkLog
3) End
Code:
models.py:
class TicketProcess(Process):
title = models.CharField(max_length=100)
category = models.CharField(max_length=150)
description = models.TextField(max_length=150)
planned = models.BooleanField()
worklogs = models.ForeignKey('WorkLog', null=True)
class WorkLog(models.Model):
ref = models.CharField(max_length=32)
description = models.TextField(max_length=150)
views.py:
class WorkLogListView(FlowListMixin, ListView):
model = WorkLog
class WorkLogCreateView(FlowMixin, CreateView):
model = WorkLog
fields = '__all__'
flows.py:
from .views import WorkLogCreateView
from .models import TicketProcess
#frontend.register
class TicketFlow(Flow):
process_class = TicketProcess
start = (
flow.Start(
CreateProcessView,
fields = ['title', 'category', 'description', 'planned']
).Permission(
auto_create=True
).Next(this.resolution)
)
add_worklog = (
flow.View(
WorkLogListView
).Permission(
auto_create=True
).Next(this.end)
)
end = flow.End()

You can handle that in a different view, or in the same view, just don't call activation.done on a worklog adding request. You can do it by checking what button was pressed in the request.POST data.
#flow.flow_view
def worklog_view(request):
request.activation.prepare(request.POST or None, user=request.user)
if '_logitem' in request.POST:
WorkLog.objects.create(...)
elif request.POST:
activation.done()
request.activation.done()
return redirect(get_next_task_url(request, request.activation.process))
return render(request, 'sometemplate.html', {'activation': request.activation})
