FilteredListView provides a basic class based view for django to easily filter a ListView. The provided template currently is in german and for bootstrap3.

1. Add "django_filteredlist" to your INSTALLED_APPS:

   INSTALLED_APPS = [
       ...
       'django_filteredlist',
   ]
   

2. Create a FilteredListView:

   class MyView(FilteredListView, ListView):
       allowed_filters = ('employee_name', 'project')
       lookup_expressions = { 'project': 'projects__name__icontains' }
       verbose_names = (('employee_name', 'Name'), ('project', 'Working on'),)
   

3. Add search form to your list template:

   {% extends 'base.html' %}
   
   {% block content %}
   
       {{ search }}
   
       <!-- YOUR LIST HERE -->
   
   {% endblock %}
