Django filters

Django filters is module to provide filter and sorting for lists of objects. It's easily extandable system, that allows to configure which fields to use for filtering and sorting of your model.

Requirements

• python >= 2.5 (Python 3.x wasn't tested)
• django >= 1.2 (Tested with up to 1.6 version)

Installation

Django filters can be installed using pip:

pip install git+git://github.com/ProstoKSI/django-filters.git

Setup

Add 'filters' to INSTALLED_APPS:

INSTALLED_APPS += ( 'filters', )

Use django-filters

For example you have model Book:

class Book(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(...)
    size = models.IntegerField(...)

then to make book_list view filterable and sortable, use next notation:

from filters.decorators import modify_queryset

import .settings as app_settings

@modify_queryset(app_settings.BOOK_LIST_VIEW_FILTER)
def book_list(request, template_name='books/book_list.html'):
    return TemplateRender(template_name, {'list': Book.objects.all()})

and in books/settings.py add next configuration for filtering:

BOOK_LIST_VIEW_FILTER = {
    'sort':  {
        'list': {
            'name': ('name', _('By Name ascending')),
            'name_rev': ('-name', _('By Name descending')),
        },
        'default': 'name',
        'template': 'filters/sort_widget.html',
    },
    'filters': {
    }
}
