wq.db 1.1.0

Django design patterns and REST API for citizen science field data collection.

|wq.db|

`wq.db <https://wq.io/wq.db>`__ is a collection of Python modules for
building robust, flexible schemas and REST APIs for use in creating
field data collection apps and (more generally) mobile-first websites
with progressive enhancement. wq.db is the backend component of
`wq <https://wq.io>`__ and is geared primarily for use with
`wq.app <https://wq.io/wq.app>`__, though it can be used separately.
wq.db is built on the `Django <https://www.djangoproject.com/>`__
platform.

See `the documentation <https://wq.io/docs/>`__ for more information.

Features
--------

wq.db provides the following modules:

`wq.db.rest <https://wq.io/docs/about-rest>`__
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Extends the excellent `Django REST
Framework <http://django-rest-framework.org>`__ with a collection of
views, serializers, and context processors useful for creating a
progresively enhanced website that serves as its own mobile app and `its
own REST API <https://wq.io/docs/website-rest-api>`__. The core of the
library is an admin-like `ModelRouter <https://wq.io/docs/router>`__
that connects REST urls to registered models, and provides a descriptive
`configuration object <https://wq.io/docs/config>`__ for consumption by
`wq.app's client-side router <https://wq.io/docs/app-js>`__. wq.db.rest
also includes a GeoJSON serializer/renderer.

`wq.db.patterns <https://wq.io/docs/about-patterns>`__
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A collection of abstract models and serializers for use in constructing
advanced `design patterns <https://wq.io/docs/about-patterns>`__
including `nested forms <https://wq.io/docs/nested-forms>`__, `EAV
structures <https://wq.io/docs/eav-vs-relational>`__, and `natural
keys <https://github.com/wq/django-natural-keys>`__. Includes
`wq.db.patterns.identify <https://wq.io/docs/identify>`__, an
installable Django app module to help manage third-party entity
identifers.
