Old way of declaring nested search fields
search_nested_fields = {
'country': ['name'],
'country.city': ['name'],
}
New way of declaring nested search fields
search_nested_fields = {
'country': {
'path': 'country',
'fields': ['name'],
},
'city': {
'path': 'country.city',
'fields': ['name'],
},
}

2018-07-23
Note

SimpleQueryStringSearchFilterBackend
backend has been implemented. - Minor fixes in the
MultiMatchSearchFilterBackend
backend.
2018-07-21

SearchFilterBackend
is still supported (until at least version 0.16), but is deprecated. Migrate toCompoundSearchFilterBackend
.MultiMatchSearchFilterBackend
introduced (the name speaks for itself). - From now on, your views would also work with model- and object-level
permissions of the Django REST Framework (such as
DjangoModelPermissions
,DjangoModelPermissionsOrAnonReadOnly
andDjangoObjectPermissions
). Correspondent model or object would be used for that. If you find it incorrect in your case, write custom permissions and declare the explicitly in your view-sets. - Fixed geo-spatial
geo_distance
ordering for Elastic 5.x. and 6.x. - Fixes occasionally failing tests.
2018-07-15
Note
This release contains backwards incompatible changes.
You should update your Django code and front-end parts of your applications
that were relying on the complex queries using |
and :
chars in the
GET params.
Note
If you have used custom filter backends using SEPARATOR_LOOKUP_VALUE
,
SEPARATOR_LOOKUP_COMPLEX_VALUE
or
SEPARATOR_LOOKUP_COMPLEX_MULTIPLE_VALUE
constants or
split_lookup_complex_value
helper method of the FilterBackendMixin
,
you most likely want to run your functional tests to see if everything
still works.
Note
Do not keep things as they were in your own fork, since new search backends
will use the |
and :
symbols differently.
Examples of old API requests vs new API requests
Note
Note, that |
and :
chars were mostly replaced with __
and ,
.
