I'm working with API made from Django rest framework,
I am trying to make a filter to a JSON
This is my serializers.py
file
from rest_framework import serializers
from .models import Establecimiento,Categoria,Ciudad,Zona
import django_filters
class EstablecimientoSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
class Meta:
model = Establecimiento
depth = 1
fields = ('nombre',
'ciudad',
'categoria',
'direccion',
'telefono',
'precioMinimo',
'precioMaximo',)
and this my views.py
file
from rest_framework import viewsets
from .serializers import EstablecimientoSerializer, CategoriaSerializer
from models import *
from rest_framework import filters
from rest_framework import generics
class EstablecimientoViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
queryset = Establecimiento.objects.all()
serializer_class = EstablecimientoSerializer
filter_fields = ('categoria',)
Then in the EstablecimientoViewSet
class, I put a filter_fields = ('categoria',)
to filter the url's API with the category field
If I add the filter to the query parameters, the result set does not change, it shows all data unfiltered.
...establecimiento?establecimiento=bar
How can I make this filter about this model?
You need to define filter backend and all related fields you're planning to filter on:
class EstablecimientoViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
filter_backends = (filters.DjangoFilterBackend,)
filter_fields = ('categoria', 'categoria__titulo',)
example:
URL?categoria__titulo=Categoria 1
it's also possible to supply your own Filter class, which may give you more options and flexibility
import sys, django_filters, json, io
class TaskFilter(django_filters.FilterSet):
tag = django_filters.CharFilter(name='tags__name', lookup_type='iexact')
university = django_filters.NumberFilter(name='poster__university', lookup_type='exact')
class Meta:
model = Task
fields = {
'poster': ['exact'],
'tasker': ['exact'],
'status': ['exact'],
'created': ['lt', 'gt']
}
In this example I got filters
- poster = 1
- tasker = 115
- status = O
created__lt=2015-09-22
17:39:01.184681 (so I can filter datetime by values LESS THEN)
created__gt=2015-09-22 17:39:01.184681 (or GREATER THAN provided
value)
Also I can hide foreign fields with custom filter fields, in this case it's tag & university. Plus I can provide comparison operator (lookup_type)
Sample request:
GET /api/v1/tasks/?offset=0&status=O&limit=100&university=1&ordering=-created&created__lt=2015-09-22 17:39:01.184681&tag=sport HTTP/1.1
Host: domain.com
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: token 61cbd3c7c2656d4e24edb31f5923a86910c67b7c
User-Timezone: US/Pacific
Cache-Control: no-cache
For me, it works when I put the comma at the end of my filter_fields.
eg.
filter_fields = ('distribuidor',)
