UUID filter with lookup startswith
Resume
My application uses UUIDField as a primary key. So every model inherit
class BaseModel(models.Model):
id = models.UUIDField(primary_key=True, default=uuid.uuid4, editable=False)
I want to filter by this id!
ID filter
It's possible do filter by ID.
So we can do a request like
/some_model_resource/?id={COMPLETE-UUID-HERE}
And it works :tada: !
ID startswith filter
statswith is a supported lookup on url-filters!
https://github.com/miki725/django-url-filter/blob/1585da89acf9f182f8db2534ab8c72e89c5c92f2/url_filter/backends/django.py#L22-L48
So it should be possible do a request like
/some_model_resource/?id__startswith={INCOMPLETE-UUID-HERE}
It doens't work :-1:
The problem
The filter calls the django form clean!
https://github.com/miki725/django-url-filter/blob/1585da89acf9f182f8db2534ab8c72e89c5c92f2/url_filter/filters.py#L335-L353
REMEMBER, I'm passing a incomplete UUID because the goal is to search with the first part of the UUID with the lookup startswith!
This causes the django.forms.fields.UUIDField.clean method to raise a ValidationError!
https://github.com/django/django/blob/a7e7043c8746933dafce652507d3b821801cdc7d/django/forms/fields.py#L1211
I'm willing to open a PR
I just need to know with which approach this should be resolved with.
Should it be added try/except on the form cleanup?
Should be created some engineering to allow 'partial values` with specific lookups (startswith, istartswith, endswith, iendswith, icontains, contains)?
Should this be treated only for UUID Fields?
