Hi all,
Recently, it's trend to use icons or emoji before menu items and I like
this idea because IMHO people orient better and more quickly when they see
picture.
What about to add this feature to native django? I thought the easiest way
would be to add new Meta option to Model. The default Meta icon would be
empty string so everything would work like now. If I want to make menu more
readable, I just add emoji (🔨) or html (Awesome font - *<i class="fa-solid
fa-hammer"></i>* , Bootstrap icon - *<i class="bi bi-hammer"></i>*, etc.)
to Meta icon.
Code example:
*Model:*
class Hammer(models.Model):
...
Meta:
icon = '<i class="fa-solid fa-hammer"></i>'
*app_list.html template:*
...
<th scope="row">{{model.icon}} {{model.name}}</th>
...
Final result:

Maybe own icon could have even the parent app (AppConfig). And the model
icon could be in breadcrumbs.
What do you think about this idea? 🙂
