Install

=======



`pip install django-pgjsonb`



Definition

===



```python

from django_pgjsonb import JSONField



class Article(models.Model):

	meta=JSONField([null=True,default={},decode_kwargs={},encode_kwargs={},db_index=False,db_index_options={}])

```



Encoder and Decoder Options

===

by define decode_kwargs and encode_kwargs you can use your customize json dump and load behaveior, basicly these parameters will just pass to json.loads(**decode_kwargs) and json.dumps(**encode_kwargs)



here is an example for use [EJSON](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/ejson) to store native datetime object



```python

import ejson



class Article(models.Model):

	meta=JSONField(encode_kwargs={"cls":ejson.EJSONEncoder},decode_kwargs={"cls":ejson.EJSONDecoder})

```



Add Index

=====

[new add in 0.0.15]



jsonb field support gin type index to accelerator filtering. Since JSON is a data structure contains hierarchy, so the index of jsonb field will be more complicate than another single value field. More information, please reference [Postgres document 8.14.4](http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/static/datatype-json.html)



```python

meta=JSONField(db_index=True)

or

meta=JSONField(db_index=True,db_index_options={"path":"authors__name","only_contains":True})

or

meta=JSONField(db_index=True,db_index_options=[{},{"path":"authors__name","only_contains":True}])

```



When set db_index as True and do not set db_index_options, it will generate default GIN index, most case it's enough.



When specify ```db_index_options={"only_contains":True}```, the index will be as the non-default GIN operator class jsonb_path_ops that supports indexing the ```contains``` operator only, but it's consume less space and more efficient.



When specify the path parameter in db_index_options, ```db_index_options={"path":"authors__name"}```, then index will generate to the specify path, so that ```Article.objects.filter(meta__authors__name__contains=["asd"])``` can utilize the index.



So you can create multiple index in one JSONField, just pass the db_index_options parameter as a list that contains multiple options, it will generate multiple correspond indexes. Empty dict stand for the default GIN index.



Lookups

=======

###Contains a wide range of lookups supported natively by postgres



1. `has` :if field has specific key *`("?")`*



 ```python

 Article.objects.filter(meta__has="author")

 ```



2. `has_any` : if field has any of the specific keys *`("?|")`*



 ```python

 Article.objects.filter(meta__has_any=["author","date"])

 ```

3. `has_all` : if field has all of the specific keys *`("?&")`*



 ```python

 Article.objects.filter(meta__has_all=["author","date"])

 ```

4. `contains` : if field contains the specific keys and values *`("@>")`*

 ```python

 Article.objects.filter(meta__contains={"author":"yjmade","date":"2014-12-13"})

 ```



5. `in` or `contained_by` : if all field key and value  contain by input *`("<@")`*

 ```python

 Article.objects.filter(meta__in={"author":"yjmade","date":"2014-12-13"})

 ```



6. `len` : the length of the array, transform to int, and can followed int lookup like gt or lt *`("jsonb_array_length()")`*



 ```python

 Article.objects.filter(meta__authors__len__gte=3)

 Article.objects.filter(meta__authors__len=10)

 ```

7. `as_(text,int,float,bool,date,datetime)` : transform json field into specific data type so that you can follow operation of this type *`("CAST(FIELD as TYPE)")`*



 ```python

 Article.objects.filter(meta__date__as_datetime__year__range=(2012,2015))

 Article.objects.filter(meta__view_count__as_float__gt=100)

 Article.objects.filter(meta__title__as_text__iregex=r"^\d{4}")

 ```

8. `path_(PATH)` : get the specific path, path split by '_' *`("#>")`*



 ```python

 Article.objects.filter(meta__path_author_articles__contains="show me the money")

 ```



Extend function to QuerySet

========================

1.`select_json("JSON_PATHS",field_name="JSON_PATHS")`



JSON_PATHS in the format of paths separated by "__",like "meta__location__geo_info". It will use the queryset's `extra` method to transform a value inside json as a field.

If no field_name provided, it will generate a field name with lookups separate by _ without the json field self's name, so `select_json("meta__author__name")` is equal to `select_json(author_name="meta__author__name")`



```python

Article.objects.select_json("meta__author__name",geo="meta__location__geo_info")`

```



 This operation will translate to sql as



 ```sql

 SELECT "article"."meta"->'location'->'geo_info' as "geo", "article"."meta"->'author'->'name' as "author_name"

 ```



[new add in 0.0.20]

You can also select the length of a json array as a field by use Length object



```python

from django_pgjsonb.fields import Length

Article.objects.select_json(authors_len=Length("meta__authors")).values("authors_len")

```



  After select_json, the field_name can be operate in values() and values_list() method, so that



  1. select only one specific value inside json

  2. to group by one value inside json



is possible.



Demo:



```python

Article.objects.all().select_json(tags="meta__tags").values_list("tags")

# select only "meta"->'tags'



Article.objects.all().select_json(author_name="meta__author__name")\

	.values("author_name").annotate(count=models.Count("author_name"))

# GROUP BY "meta"->'author'->'name'

```



support geo search in jsonb

===========================



**require**: postgresql plugin: 



1. cube



2. earthdistance



3. to install these two plugin, run command below in psql



   ```

   CREATE EXTENSION cube;  

   CREATE EXTENSION earthdistance; 

   ```



how to save location  json record



```Json

{"location": [30.2, 199.4]}  # just keep a latitude, longitude list

```



Demo



```python

Article.objects.filter(data__location__near=[39.9, 116.4,5000]) # latitude，longitude，search range

```



or 



```python

Article.objects.filter(data__location__near='39.9,116.4,5000') # latitude，longitude, search range

```



**Alert**: if you don't pass exact number of params, this filter will not be used



**for more earthdistance**, see [Postgresql Earthdistance Documentation](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/earthdistance.html)
