Synctool is a library for Django to make syncing querysets between databases easy. No more manually dumping or entering data. No more out-of-date fixtures. Just get the data you want, on demand.
Here's an example for syncing the django.contrib.sites app.
1. Create an api view
# myapp.views
from synctools.routing import Route
route = Route()
@route.app("sites", "sites")2. Add the urls to your project
# myproject.urls
from django.conf.urls import include, url
from myapp.views import route
urlpatterns += [
url("^sync/", include(route.urlpatterns)),
]3. Sync data from the remote endpoint
# myclient.py
from synctools.client import Client
client = Client(
api_url="https://myserver.com/sync/",
api_token="<token>",
)
if __name__ == "__main__":
client.sync("sites")The sites app can now be synced locally from a remote data source by calling:
python myclient.py
Under the hood Synctool uses the Django JSON serializer to pass data between servers. Synctool isn't limited to syncing whole applications. It can also sync custom querysets and even download associated images.
Synctool can be installed from PyPI:
pip install django-synctool
This library requires Django >= 1.7 and either Python 2.7 or Python >= 3.3.
