Filter queries to json and back

Project description

Build Status

With FilterQL you can write filter queries with the use of python objects. These objects can be translated to json and send over the wire to be used in some other backend. This allows you to not be limited to the way you can define filters in (front-end) applications that communicate with and API.

Status

Currently actively used and watched.

Usage

Requirements

  • python 2.7

  • python 3.3, 3.4, 3.5

  • (optional) django >= 1.8

Installation

pip install filterql

Running

from filterql import L, STARTSWITH

# Filter query for name to start with `spindle` or `devhouse`
lookup = L('name', 'spindle', lookup=STARTSWITH) | L('name', 'devhouse', lookup=STARTSWITH)

# Convert to json to be able to send it to other systems.
lookup_json = lookup.dumps()

# On the other side either convert back to L objects or to Django Q objects.

# L
l_filters = L.from_json(lookup_json)

# Django
from filterql.serializers import DjangoSerializer

django_filters = DjangoSerializer().from_json(lookup_json)
