My main question is: is there a list of all the filter types anywhere? Such as “type”: “contains” and “type”: “equal.” I have looked through the documentation and I cannot find a list of all the possible types that might be sent from a webix filter.
The reason I ask is that we’re using webix server side filtering to filter a large dataset in a django application. django’s filters do not match webix. For example, in django, ‘equal’ is called ‘exact.’ So I am writing a method to accept webix filter parameters, convert them to django q-objects/filters, and pass the filtered dataset back to the webix data table. Something like:
for key, value in webix_filters:
"""
For each of the webix filters with data in them, convert the webix
filter data to a django filter string. This should return something
like:
{ 'region__contains': ['NY', 'SF', ''],
'product_type__exact': 'apple' }
"""
if value['condition']['type'] == 'contains':
qstring = f"{key}__contains"
q_objs[qstring] = value['condition']['includes']
elif value['condition']['type'] == 'equal':
qstring = f"{key}__exact"
q_objs[qstring] = {value['condition']['filter']}
return Program.objects.filter(**q_objs)
If this is madness and there is a simpler way I’d be grateful to hear about that also. Thanks!
