[question] Does this work with client side?

[julialoh]

My app is comprised of a form. I was wondering if it's possible to use django river so that when a client (non-admin) submits the form, the data automatically updates state to something like "Approved," which then awaits approval by an admin. Is this possible?

django-river allows to track any flow on any model object. You can have a model that is with a django river state and you can create your flow that consists of two state like Initialized -> Approved by using the admin. It is up to you how you want to create a flow. Then all you need to do is to create an object of this model every time your non admin user submits a form. Then you can implement something to approve this by using django-river APIs for your admin user.

Thank you for the comment!! Right now when I submit the form, the state automatically is Draft and an admin has to change it to Pending Approval, Pending Approval->Approved, etc. Do you know if it would be possible to do something along the lines of a user submits one form, and that object enters the Draft state, but when they update the form in UpdateView, the object enters the Pending Approval state?
