In a list view created with Flask-Admin, I have added two columns of an sqlalchemy object which are in fact computed in my object class using hybrid properties.
class MyClass(db.Model):
@hybrid_property
def state(self):
now = datetime.datetime.now()
state = 'OK'
for panne in self.pannes:
if panne.f_indispo < now:
continue
if panne.d_indispo <= now and panne.f_indispo >= now:
state = 'KO'
break
if panne.d_indispo > now:
state = 'PR'
return state
@hybrid_property
def station_name(self):
if app.config['STATIONS'] is not None and self.id_station in app.config['STATIONS']:
return app.config['STATIONS'][self.id_station]
return unicode(self.id_station)
So, I add them in the list view :
class MyClassView(ModelView):
list_template = 'some/template.html'
column_list = ('column1','column2','state','station_name')
column_searchable_list = ('column1','column2')
column_formatters = dict(state=macro('macro_in_my_template'))
[...]
And everything is ok except the fact that my two "hybrid columns" aren't searchable nor sortable. If I add them in column_searchable_list, I get :
'state' property :

The question is : Is it possible to use hybrid_property in this case or should I try a different solution ? If it's possible, I don't know for the moment how to solve these errors.
This was fixed recently in this pull request: https://github.com/flask-admin/flask-admin/pull/962
Now, there's an example for using hybrid properties: https://github.com/flask-admin/flask-admin/tree/master/examples/sqla
