A collection of reusable, generic mixins for Django's class-based views, replicating function-based view decorator behavior and solving common CBV pain points. It is stable and time-tested but no longer in active development, supporting only Python versions and Django LTS releases still receiving fixes.

Use cases

• add login or permission requirements to Django class-based views
• replicate function-based view decorators on class-based views
• handle AJAX and JSON responses in Django CBVs
• control form handling and success redirects in class-based views
• solve common headaches when working with Django CBVs

When to choose

• you use Django class-based views and want decorator-like behavior as mixins
• you need battle-tested, stable mixins with minimal maintenance risk
• you are on a supported Django LTS version and want drop-in CBV helpers

When to avoid

• you need a library under active development with frequent updates
• you prefer writing your own mixins or using Django's built-in LoginRequired/PermissionRequiredMixin
• you run unsupported Python or non-LTS Django versions outside the officially supported range
