DRF Queryset Mixin

Introduction

The DRF Queryset Mixin is a utility for optimizing database queries in Django REST Framework (DRF) viewsets. It provides a mixin called QuerysetMixin that allows you to easily optimize your queries by specifying deferred, selected related, and prefetched related fields.

Installation

pip install drf-queryset

Usage

Please follow the steps:

1. Import the QuerysetMixin from drf_queryset.mixins.
2. In your viewset class, inherit from QuerysetMixin.
3. only_fields: List of fields to be only fetched in the query.
4. defer_fields: List of fields to be deferred in the query.
5. select_related_fields: List of fields to be select_related in the query.
6. prefetch_related_fields: List of fields to be prefetch_related in the query.

Note: These fields are optional, you can use them depending upon your requirements of queryset and structure of the model fields.

Example

Here's a basic example of how you can use this package in your django rest framework application:

from drf_queryset.mixins import QuerysetMixin
from rest_framework.viewsets import ModelViewSet
from .models import YourModel
from .serializers import YourSerializer

class MyViewSet(QuerysetMixin, ModelViewSet):
    queryset = YourModel.objects.all()  # Replace with your queryset
    serializer_class = YourSerializer  # Replace with your serializer

    defer_fields = ['field1', 'field2']  # Add your defer fields here
    only_fields = ['field3', 'field4']  # Add your only fields here
    select_related_fields = ['related_field1', 'related_field2']  # Add your select_related fields here
    prefetch_related_fields = ['m2m_field', 'reverse_fk_field']  # Add your prefetch_related fields here
