Add a LocalDataQuerySet for using generic data in WebAPIResource.
Review Request #5880 — Created May 26, 2014 and submitted — Latest diff uploaded
This introduces
LocalDataQuerySet, which operates similarly to a
QuerySet, but can store any iterable data. The interface it exposes is
similar enough toQuerySetfor basic usage.While this may be useful for various purposes, it's largely intended for
use withWebAPIResource. Before now, gettingWebAPIResourceto return
data not from a database was tricky. You had to rewrite the
serialization functions,get(),get_list(), etc. Now,get_queryset()can
return aLocalDataQuerySet, passing in whatever it needs, and
WebAPIResourcewill work with it.
Unit tests pass.
Used this with the new HostingServiceResource to great success.
