drf_timeordered_pagination 0.1.1

Overview

Pagination utilities for Django REST Framework to allow for pagination by a mutable, but time-ordered field (like ‘modified’).

Requirements

• Python (2.7, 3.3, 3.4)

• Django (1.8+)

• Django REST Framework (3.1+)

Important notes

The layout of the docs and the Git project were borrowed from: - drf-proxy-pagination - django-nsync (which was borrowed from other people too!)

Installation

Install using pip…

$ pip install drf-timeordered-pagination

In views.py, hook up your own integration into the pagination, or use one of the provided ones like so:

class ExampleClass(django.Model):
    ...
    modified = DateTimeField(...)
    ...


from timeordered_pagination.views import TimeOrderedPaginationViewSetMixin
class ExampleClassView(
    TimeOrderedPaginationViewSetMixin,
    ...,
    viewsets.ModelViewSet)
    ...

Example

• http://api.example.org/examples/ gives default pagination.

• http://api.example.org/examples/?modified_after=1900-01-01T00:00:00Z gives all examples, modified after (greater than) Midnight, 1 Jan 1900, in modified order

• http://api.example.org/examples/?modified_from=1900-01-01T00:00:00Z gives all examples, modified from (greater than or equal to) Midnight, 1 Jan 1900, in modified order

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Run with pytest.
