I would like to build versioning for my django models. I have already tried django-reversion but i think that is not good for my use case and i have problems with many-to-many through models and multi table inheritance.
My use case:
I have a multi tenant web app. Every tenant have their own pool of resources. The tenants can create documents and reference to the resources.
Here is a simple diagram:
Now on every update from the document or a resource that is referenced in the document i would create a version of the document.
So the version should show all changes of the document and the referenced resources.
But on revert to a version only the direct values of the document should reverted and not the resources.
For example a document:
Now i edit the document and delete the resource_1 with the id 1. Also i change the name from the resource_1 with the id 2.
When i revert this document to the first version, it should look like this:
But how can i achieve this? I think i can use MongoDB to store complete version of a document as serialized json data on every update. And can create a signal for the resources if it changed and check the correspondent documents to create also a version for the document. Then i create for each tenant a new collection in MongoDB.
The resources itself should also have a versioning and also other models in my webapp but for the example that is not important.
