What to use to edit navigation menu from Django admin?

Question

Django

Good afternoon. Please advise on the following question.
There is a ready-made project that is written in Django, it became necessary to be able to add nested items from the admin panel to the site navigation bar.

Actually, the question is how to do this? Tell me which direction to look. I thought about Django-CMS, but it seemed too cumbersome, given that the functionality required is minimal. Plus, I didn’t quite understand how to integrate it into an already finished project.

Answer 1

If the menu item is a model, then simply register this model in the admin panel.

Answer 2

The first option is to create two models (menu, submenu) of the submenu connected via ForeignKey to the menu, but this is if you are sure that the nesting will be one level.

Well, or look for ready-made menus
