Django auto-prefetching

NOTICE: THIS PROJECT IS A WORK IN PROGRESS, AND IS NOT PUBLISHED TO PYPI YET

Automatic prefetching of related objects for Django Rest Framework.

Inside your ViewSets get_queryset add the following code:

    def get_queryset():
        qs = YOUR_MODEL.objects.all() # Or whatever queryset you want to use
        qs = prefetch(self.get_serializer_class(), queryset) # This line prefetches the related model depending on the serializer.
        return qs

Unresolved issues

• If you forget to add many=True to a serializer that has the reverse side of the ForeignKey we calculate the wrong prefetch_related fields and we get an error. We can't catch this error early because it's only thrown when the queryset is evaluated
• We can't prefetch anything that's accessed in serializer method fields.
