:target: https://travis-ci.org/carltongibson/django-filter
Requirements
------------
* **Python**: 2.7, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5
* **Django**: 1.8, 1.9, 1.10
* **DRF**: 3.4, 3.5
Installation
------------
Install using pip:
.. code-block:: sh
pip install django-filter
Or clone the repo and add to your ``PYTHONPATH``:
.. code-block:: sh
git clone git@github.com:carltongibson/django-filter.git
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:
.. code-block:: python
import django_filters
class ProductFilter(django_filters.FilterSet):
class Meta:
model = Product
fields = ['name', 'price', 'manufacturer']
And then in your view you could do:
.. code-block:: python
def product_list(request):
filter = ProductFilter(request.GET, queryset=Product.objects.all())
return render(request, 'my_app/template.html', {'filter': filter})
Django-filters additionally supports specifying ``FilterSet`` fields using
a dictionary to specify filters with lookup types:
.. code-block:: python
import django_filters
class ProductFilter(django_filters.FilterSet):
class Meta:
model = Product
fields = {'name': ['exact', 'icontains'],
'price': ['exact', 'gte', 'lte'],
}
The filters will be available as ``'name'``, ``'name__icontains'``,
``'price'``, ``'price__gte'``, and ``'price__lte'`` in the above example.
