drf-url-filters

drf-url-filters is a simple django app to apply filters on drf modelviewset’s queryset in a clean, simple and configurable way. It also supports validations on incoming query params and their values. A beautiful python package voluptouos is being used for validations on the incoming query parameters. The best part about voluptouos is you can define your own validations as per your query params requirements.

validations.py

import six

from filters.schema import base_query_params_schema
from filters.validations import (
    CSVofIntegers,
    IntegerLike,
    DatetimeWithTZ
)

# make a validation schema for players filter query params
players_query_schema = base_query_param_schema.extend(
    {
        "id": IntegerLike(),
        "name": six.text_type,  # Depends on python version
        "team_id": CSVofIntegers(),  # /?team_id=1,2,3
        "install_ts": DatetimeWithTZ(),
        "update_ts": DatetimeWithTZ(),
        "taller_than": IntegerLike(),
    }
)

views.py

from rest_framework import (
    viewsets,
    filters,
)

from .models import Player, Team
from .pagination import ResultSetPagination
from .serializers import PlayerSerializer, TeamSerializer
from .validations import teams_query_schema, players_query_schema
from filters.mixins import (
    FiltersMixin,
)


class PlayersViewSet(FiltersMixin, viewsets.ModelViewSet):
    """
    This viewset automatically provides `list`, `create`, `retrieve`,
    `update` and `destroy` actions.
    """
    queryset = Player.objects.prefetch_related(
        'teams'  # use prefetch_related to minimize db hits.
    ).all()
    serializer_class = PlayerSerializer
    pagination_class = ResultSetPagination
    filter_backends = (filters.OrderingFilter,)
    ordering_fields = ('id', 'name', 'update_ts')
    ordering = ('id',)

    # add a mapping of query_params to db_columns(queries)
    filter_mappings = {
        'id': 'id',
        'name': 'name__icontains',
        'team_id': 'teams',
        'install_ts': 'install_ts',
        'update_ts': 'update_ts',
        'update_ts__gte': 'update_ts__gte',
        'update_ts__lte': 'update_ts__lte',
        'taller_than': 'height__gte',
    }

    field_value_transformations = {
        'taller_than': lambda val: val / 30.48  # cm to ft
    }

    # add validation on filters
    filter_validation_schema = players_query_schema

With the use of drf-url-filters adding a new filter on a new column is as simple as adding a new key in the dict. Prohibitting a filter on particular column is same as removing a key value mapping from the filter_mappings dict.
