Django Filters

Adds filters for for Django-specific features, including:

  • filters.ext.Model: Search for a DB model instance matching the incoming value.

Requirements

Django Filters is known to be compatible with the following Python versions:

  • 3.12
  • 3.11
  • 3.10

Only Django v4.x is supported.

Note

I'm only one person, so to keep from getting overwhelmed, I'm only committing to supporting the 3 most recent minor versions of Python and the most recent major version of Django. Django Filters may work with versions of Python and/or Django not listed here — there just won't be any test coverage to prove it 😇

If you encounter any issues, please report them on the project's Bug Tracker, and be sure to indicate which version of Django you are using.

Installation

This package is an extension for the Filters library, so you can install it as an extra to phx-filters:

pip install phx-filters[django]

Important

Make sure to install phx-filters, not filters. I created the latter at a previous job years ago, and after I left they never touched that project again and stopped responding to my emails — so in the end I had to fork it 🤷

If desired, you can install this package separately. This allows you to control the package version separately from phx-filters.

pip install phx-filters-django

Running Unit Tests

Install the package with the test-runner extra to set up the necessary dependencies, and then you can run the tests with the tox command:

pip install -e .[test-runner]
tox -p

To run tests in the current virtualenv:

python manage.py test

Releases

Steps to build releases are based on Packaging Python Projects Tutorial

Important

Make sure to build releases off of the main branch, and check that all changes from develop have been merged before creating the release!

1. Build the Project

  1. Install extra dependencies (you only have to do this once):

    pip install -e '.[build-system]'
    
  2. Delete artefacts from previous builds, if applicable:

    rm dist/*
    
  3. Run the build:

    python -m build
    
  4. The build artefacts will be located in the dist directory at the top level of the project.

2. Upload to PyPI

  1. Create a PyPI API token (you only have to do this once).

  2. Increment the version number in pyproject.toml.

  3. Check that the build artefacts are valid, and fix any errors that it finds:

    python -m twine check dist/*
    
  4. Upload build artefacts to PyPI:

    python -m twine upload dist/*
    

3. Create GitHub Release

  1. Create a tag and push to GitHub:

    git tag <version>
    git push
    

    <version> must match the updated version number in pyproject.toml.

  2. Go to the Releases page for the repo.

  3. Click Draft a new release.

  4. Select the tag that you created in step 1.

  5. Specify the title of the release (e.g., Django Filters v1.2.3).

  6. Write a description for the release. Make sure to include: - Credit for code contributed by community members. - Significant functionality that was added/changed/removed. - Any backwards-incompatible changes and/or migration instructions. - SHA256 hashes of the build artefacts.

  7. GPG-sign the description for the release (ASCII-armoured).

  8. Attach the build artefacts to the release.

  9. Click Publish release.
