Project description
Overview
A better way than DRF proposed for do some basic filters
Requirements
Python (2.7,3.2,3.3,3.4, 3.5 -with Django 1.8-)
Django (1.7, 1.8)
Django REST Framework (3.0, 3.1, 3.2)
Installation
Install using pip…
$ pip install drf-lafv
Example
Imagine that you have the following models.py
from django.db import models
class Author(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=250)
nickname = models.CharField(max_length=100)
class Book(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=200)
description = models.TextField()
publication_date = models.DateField()
isbn = models.CharField(max_length=17)
author = models.ForeignKey(Author)
And you want to filter your list of books by author’s nickname, isbn and create a custom filter which will allow to get you books that were published less than 30 days ago. Well, DRF per se, ask you to install django-filter and write a bunch of stuff that maybe hard. With lafv you can accomplish this doing this:
from lafv.views import ListAPIFilteredView
from serializers import BookSerializer
class BookView(ListAPIFilteredView):
queryset = Book.objects.all()
serializer_class = BookSerializer
filter_fields = ('author__nickname', 'isbn')
custom_filters = ('new', )
def filter_new(self, queryset):
"""
get books that publication date is no longer than 1 month
"""
last_month = datetime.today() - timedelta(days=30)
queryset = queryset.filter(publication_date__gte=last_month)
return queryset
And that’s it!, please check the examples on the test app
Testing
Install testing requirements.
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
Run with runtests.
$ ./runtests.py
You can also use the excellent tox testing tool to run the tests against all supported versions of Python and Django. Install tox globally, and then simply run:
$ tox
