django-modelqueryform 0.5.1

Overview

The generated form allows building a query with logical or of values in a single model field and logical and between fields

The generated form is made up of MultipleChoiceFields for each field in the model. The choices for the field will be the choices as defined on the model field if they exist. Otherwise it will pull the distinct values for that field and use them.

For fields that match the RANGE_TYPES types a RangeField will be generated.

ForeignKeyField and OneToOneField will cause recursion to the depth defined in recursion_depth. If recursion_depth has been met they will generate a MultipleChoiceField with the choices represented as (instance.pk, instance.__unicode__())

Usage Example

forms.py

def TestModelQueryForm(ModelQueryForm):
    model = TestModel

views.py

def test_model_query(request, pk = None):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = TestModelQueryForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            if form.changed_data:
                matched_query = form.process_model_query()
                generated_query_dict = form.pretty_print_query
            return render_to_response('test_model_query_match.html',
                                      {'matches' : matched_query, 'query' : generated_query_dict},
                                      context_instance = RequestContext(request)
            )

    else:
        form = TestModelQueryForm()

    return render_to_response('test_model_query.html', {'form':form})
