pony-indice 0.0.4

Search index for Django.

Pony Indice is a Django re-usable app to create a simple search engine for your project.

Install

Install it as usual (pip coming):

pip install pony-indice

Add the app in your INSTALLED_APPS:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
   ...
   'pony_indice',
   ...
)

And launch the migration to create the table:

./manage.py migrate

Usage

The usage is quite simple:

from pony_indice import registry as indice_registry

@indice_registry.register()
class YourModel(models.Models):
   rank = models.IntegerField()

Now your model is tagged as “tracked” and the following behaviors are added:

• On post_save signals a Link will be created/updated in database

• On post_delete the Link will be mark as “removed”

(Update aren’t taken in account and may lead to broken URLs)

Basicaly this app is based on the other decorated models, but you can easily import pony_indice.models.Link and add the link which you want, especialy external ones.

Tools

QuerySet

The Link’s queryset has the method filter_q method, which is a simple filter looking if fields display or description contain a string. Useful to create easily any search tool.

Admin

Of course the admin interface is already configured.

REST Framework

pony_indice.contrib.rest_framework.serializers.LinkSerializer and pony_indice.contrib.rest_framework.viewsets.LinkViewsets are here to play quickly with Django REST Framework.
