Recent objects fetching utilities

Recent objects fetching utilities

Usage:

from testapp.models import Article, Comment, Payment

from recent_objects.recent_objects import RecentObjects

ro = RecentObjects(
    [
        {
            "queryset": Article.objects.all(),
            "date_field": "created_at",
            # "type": "testapp.article",
        },
        {
            "queryset": Comment.objects.all(),
            "date_field": "created_at",
            # "type": "testapp.comment",
        },
        {
            "queryset": Payment.objects.all(),
            "date_field": "created_at",
            # "type": "testapp.payment",
        },
    ]
)

recent_10_objects = ro.page(paginate_by=10, page=1)

recent_10_objects will now be a list of up to 10 dictionaries of the form:

[
  {
      "type": "testapp.article",
      "date": datetime(...),
      "pk": 24,
      "object": Article(),
  },
  {
      "type": "testapp.comment",
      "date": datetime(...),
      "pk": 42,
      "object": Comment(),
  },
  ...
]

You can optionally specify the type yourself in the recent objects spec above. This may be useful when you want more control over the value or if you’re assembling several querysets using the same underlying model.
