Tastypie support for Geodjango distance filtering

resources.py

class MyGeoResource(Resource):
    def apply_sorting(self, objects, options=None):
        if options and "longitude" in options and "latitude" in options:
            return objects.distance(Point(options['latitude'], options['longitude'])).order_by('distance')

        return super(MyGeoResource, self).apply_sorting(objects, options)

test.sh

curl localhost:8000/api/v1/mygeoresource?latitude=<>&longitude=<>&limit=1

thanks for this snipped, I have some questions:

• how do I apply it to a ModelResource?
• why your MyGeoResource does not contains the Meta class that declare what queryset you will use?
• can you provide a source where it is fully implemented?

thanks in advance!

This was just an example snippet to help someone else, and wasn't actually fully implemented by me. However, it should probably work with a standard ModelResource with a GeoDjango model/queryset.

thanks for your quick answer.

Yes, works with a standar ModelResource, but the the "coords" fields need to be named different as you send it in the GET params "latitude" and "longitude", my Location class have: latitude and longitude, so, testypie try to make a filtering related with this fields. if I send by GET params "lat" and "lng" then I can use the original object_list in apply_sorting method. thanks again.

Hi, great example! Do you have any idea how to include the distance in tastypie's fields? Just including it like fields = [... 'distance'] doesnt work.
