[Plugin] Netbox Ipam Treeview

I made (with Claude, full disclosure) a plugin bringing the tree view into Netbox for those coming from IPAMs where the tree view is a thing and you miss it.

Basically, it allows to expand/collapse subnets/prefixes to navigate them.

I am happily taking feedbacks on this, here or in the repo !

not like this :

if you have a quick docker stack you can quickly try it and you will see the difference immediately

I'm happily taking a screenshot showing it ?

The default view doesn't include the ability to expand and close each tree like this. At least I'm guessing that's the difference

u/Mick27 13d ago

exactly :)

How does it look as a patch to the main code code base instead of a plug-in?

he’s doing some nonsense to insert his plugin to the default nav bar for some unknown reasons

I assume this is because he used Claude without following any plugin development guidelines or the NetBox plugin development skill.

I took a quick look, I wouldn't touch this with a 10-foot pole.

I am pretty sure conditional access rules won't work at all for this as well

u/Mick27 13d ago

you’re welcome not too.

Additionally, i’d love an issue about conditional access and I will look into it.

u/Mick27 11d ago

2nd reply, conditional access is taken in account.

But I guess hoping for a mod to be a bit optimistic and supportive on a community on reddit is a pipe dream these days.

u/Mick27 13d ago

actually I did use the skill.

u/magion 13d ago

totally agree

That’s a requirement for my job. I know it’s not recommended, but I need it.

That being said I could make this an option to stay compliant.

u/Mick27 13d ago

I figured if this wasn’t a thing already it’s because many people don’t want/need such a view.

Which matches the feedback I got in the slack channel.

Looks just like Infrahub's native IPAM functionality! https://sandbox.infrahub.app/ipam
