Django & Postgresql-based Directed Acyclic Graphs

The main distinguishing factor for this project is that it can retrieve entire sections of a graph with far fewer queries than most other packages. The trade off is portability: it uses Postgres' Common Table Expressions (CTE) to achieve this and is therefore not compatible with other databases.

NOTE: Not all methods which would benefit from CTEs use them yet. This project is a work in progress. Again, this project is a work in progress. While functional, it is not yet fully optimized.

The primary purpose of this package is to build and manipulate DAGs within a Django project. If you are looking for graph analysis or visualization, this may not be the right package.

Currently, django-postgresql-dag provides numerous methods for retrieving nodes, and a few for retrieving edges within the graph. In-progress are filters within the CTEs in order to limit the area of the graph to be searched, ability to easily export to NetworkX, and other improvements and utilities.

Demo
