Local demo

A frontend demo (React based) is available. See the dedicated docs for more information.

To bootstrap evaluation, clone the repository locally and run docker-compose.

docker-compose up

It will set up:

• Elasticsearch on http://localhost:9200
• Django REST framework on http://localhost:8000
• React on http://localhost:3000

Installation

1. Install latest stable version from PyPI:

   pip install django-elasticsearch-dsl-drf

   or latest stable version from GitHub:

   pip install https://github.com/barseghyanartur/django-elasticsearch-dsl-drf/archive/stable.tar.gz

2. Add rest_framework, django_elasticsearch_dsl and django_elasticsearch_dsl_drf to INSTALLED_APPS:

   INSTALLED_APPS = (
       # ...
       # REST framework
       'rest_framework',
   
       # Django Elasticsearch integration
       'django_elasticsearch_dsl',
   
       # Django REST framework Elasticsearch integration (this package)
       'django_elasticsearch_dsl_drf',
       # ...
   )

Quick start

Perhaps the easiest way to get acquainted with django-elasticsearch-dsl-drf is to read the :doc:`quick start tutorial <quick_start>`.

See it as a guide of diving into integration of Elasticsearch with Django with very low knowledge entry level.

Testing

Project is covered with tests.

To test with all supported Python/Django versions type:

tox

To test against specific environment, type:

tox -e py38-django30

To test just your working environment type:

./runtests.py

To run a single test in your working environment type:

./runtests.py src/django_elasticsearch_dsl_drf/tests/test_filtering.py

Or:

./manage.py test django_elasticsearch_dsl_drf.tests.test_ordering

To run a single test class in a given test module in your working environment type:

./runtests.py src/django_elasticsearch_dsl_drf/tests/test_suggesters.py::TestSuggesters

It's assumed that you have all the requirements installed. If not, first install the test requirements:

pip install -r examples/requirements/test.txt
