It provides in-memory MockSet and MockModel classes that mimic Django's QuerySet API, supporting method chaining, filtering with Q objects, aggregates, field lookups, and CRUD operations. This is useful when you want fast unit tests that don't require database setup or migrations.\n\nThe library is typically used by patching Django model managers in test cases, allowing you to verify query logic in isolation. It also includes utilities for testing django-rest-framework serializers and can be configured to run an entire test suite without a database by monkey-patching the test database backend, which can significantly speed up test execution for projects with many migrations.","worth_installing":"Yes. This is a mature, actively maintained testing utility with no dependencies, permissive licensing, and clear use cases for accelerating Django unit tests. Install it if you want to test query logic without database overhead; skip it only if your test suite already has fast database fixtures or you need QuerySet methods not yet supported (annotate, reverse, none, extra, raw, bulk_create, in_bulk, as_manager)."},"id":"django-mock-queries","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/django-mock-queries","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/django-mock-queries.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/django-mock-queries/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-09-26","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"django-mock-queries","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"A django library for mocking queryset functions in memory for testing"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":204780,"position":9601,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.3.0"}
