######################

`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.

Example

*******

**views.py**

.. code-block:: python

    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)

            return queryset

**forms.py**

.. code-block:: python

    from django import forms

    from django.utils.translation import gettext_lazy as _

    from django_genericfilters import forms as gf

    class UserListForm(gf.QueryFormMixin, gf.OrderFormMixin, gf.FilteredForm):

        is_active = gf.ChoiceField(label=_('Status'),

                                   choices=(('yes', _('Active')),

                                            ('no', _('Unactive'))))

        is_staff = gf.ChoiceField(label=_('Staff'))

        is_superuser = gf.ChoiceField(label=_('Superuser'))

        def get_order_by_choices(self):

            return [('date_joined', _(u'date joined')),

                    ('last_login', _(u'last login')),

                    ('last_name', _(u'Name'))]

*****

Forms

*****

Several form mixins are provided to cover frequent use cases:

* ``OrderFormMixin`` with order_by and order_reverse fields.

* ``QueryFormMixin`` for little full-text search using icontains.

See "mixin" documentation for details.
