django-filter-ex 1.2.0

Requirements

• Python: 2.7, 3.6

• Django: 1.11

• DRF: 3.7, 3.8

Django filter EX is a fork from Django filter 1.1.0 witch contains a small patch to improve performance of the default filterset on chained filters. It passes all the tests and works for my use-case.

Installation

Install using pip:

pip install django-filter

Then add 'django_filters' to your INSTALLED_APPS.

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    'django_filters',
]

Usage

Django-filter can be used for generating interfaces similar to the Django admin’s list_filter interface. It has an API very similar to Django’s ModelForms. For example, if you had a Product model you could have a filterset for it with the code:

import django_filters

class ProductFilter(django_filters.FilterSet):
    class Meta:
        model = Product
        fields = ['name', 'price', 'manufacturer']

And then in your view you could do:

def product_list(request):
    filter = ProductFilter(request.GET, queryset=Product.objects.all())
    return render(request, 'my_app/template.html', {'filter': filter})

Usage with Django REST Framework

Django-filter provides a custom FilterSet and filter backend for use with Django REST Framework.

To use this adjust your import to use django_filters.rest_framework.FilterSet.

from django_filters import rest_framework as filters

class ProductFilter(filters.FilterSet):
    class Meta:
        model = Product
        fields = ('category', 'in_stock')

For more details see the DRF integration docs.
