Django Rest Framework QuerySet

Mimicking the Django ORM queryset over rest framework api, which does lazy loading.

Usage:

normal operation

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

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

    # filter
    boys = qs.filter(gender='boy')
    girls = qs.filter(gender='girl')
    
    # get by id
    boy = qs.get(101)
    
    # filter enforce 1 result
    boy = qs.get(name='james', gender='boy')

    # slicing
    first_100_boys = boys[:100]
    
    # iterate all records
    for i in qs:
        print(i)

    # 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 LimitOffsetPagination

In this project, it provides a HybridPagination class, which will swap to LimitOffsetPagination when it sees limit or offset query params, so that if you are currently using PageNumberPagination then you can swap it with rest_framework_queryset.pagination.HybridPagination to achieve both purposes. This feature is experimental, so please report any problems.
