Django Rest Framework QuerySet

Mimicking the Django ORM queryset over rest framework api

Usage:

normal operation

    from rest_framework_queryset import RestFrameworkQuerySet
    from django.core.paginator import Paginator

    qs = RestFrameworkQuerySet('http://localhost:8082/api/')
    qs.all()

    # filter
    boys = qs.filter(gender='boy')
    girls = qs.filter(gender='girls')

    # slicing
    first_100_boys = boys[:100]

    # pagination
    p = Paginator(qs, 10)
    print p.count
    print p.num_pages
    page1 = p.page(1)

class based view

from django.views.generic import ListView
from rest_framework_queryset import RestFrameworkQuerySet

class ListDataView(ListView):
    paginate_by = 10
    template_name = 'list.html'

    def get_queryset(self, *args, **kwargs):
        return RestFrameworkQuerySet('http://localhost:8082/api/').filter(**self.request.GET.dict())

Dependencies

The queryset is dependent on the API that uses LimiteOffsetPagination If you are using PageNumberPagination then you can use the included rest_framework_queryset.pagination.HybridPagination which will switch pagination class depends on the query param is passed.
