PyPI version Python versions Build codecov License

django-ninja-search

A lightweight decorator to add filtering, searching, and sorting support to Django Ninja view functions.


✨ Features

  • Add full-text search and ordering with a decorator
  • Optional schema-based filtering
  • Works seamlessly with Django ORM and Django Ninja

📦 Installation

pip install django-ninja-search

Or with Poetry:

poetry add django-ninja-search

🚀 Usage

1. Define your model (example)

# models.py
class Item(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    description = models.TextField()

2. Add the decorator to your view

# views.py
from ninja import Query
from ninja_schema import Schema
from ninja_search.searching import searching

class ItemFilterSchema(Schema):
    pass  # You can define extra filters here if needed

@searching(
    filterSchema=ItemFilterSchema,
    search_fields=["name", "description"],
    sort_fields=["name", "description"],
)
def list_items(request, filters: ItemFilterSchema = Query(...)):
    return Item.objects.all()

This enables:

  • /?search=banana → filters by search text
  • /?ordering=name → sorts results
