django-generic-filters is a toolkit to filter results of Django's ListView, using forms.
Main use cases are obviously search forms and filtered lists.
As a developer, given you have a ListView, in order to let the user filter the results:
- use a form to easily render the filters as HTML;
- the user typically sends the filters via GET;
- validate the user's input using a Django form;
- filter the Django view's queryset using form's cleaned data.
views.py
from django_genericfilters.views import FilteredListView
class UserListView(FilteredListView):
# ListView options. FilteredListView inherits from ListView.
model = User
template_name = 'user/user_list.html'
paginate_by = 10
context_object_name = 'users'
# FormMixin options. FilteredListView inherits from FormMixin.
form_class = UserListForm
# FilteredListView options.
search_fields = ['first_name', 'last_name', 'username', 'email']
filter_fields = ['is_active', 'is_staff', 'is_superuser']
default_order = 'last_name'
def form_valid(self, form):
"""Return the queryset when form has been submitted."""
queryset = super(UserListView, self).form_valid(form)
# Handle specific fields of the custom ListForm
# Others are automatically handled by FilteredListView.
if form.cleaned_data['is_active'] == 'yes':
queryset = queryset.filter(is_active=True)
elif form.cleaned_data['is_active'] == 'no':
queryset = queryset.filter(is_active=False)
if form.cleaned_data['is_staff'] == 'yes':
queryset = queryset.filter(is_staff=True)
elif form.cleaned_data['is_staff'] == 'no':
queryset = queryset.filter(is_staff=False)
if form.cleaned_data['is_superuser'] == 'yes':
queryset = queryset.filter(is_superuser=True)
elif form.cleaned_data['is_superuser'] == 'no':
queryset = queryset.filter(is_superuser=False)

OrderFormMixinwith order_by and order_reverse fields.QueryFormMixinfor little full-text search using icontains.
