Environment

  • Python version: 3.7
  • NetBox version: 2.5-beta1

Proposed Functionality

Create new filters in the UI and API for device component types. These new filters should take the general form has_interfaces, has_console_ports, has_power_ports, etc. These will replace the now deprecated and removed is_* filters in 2.5-beta1. There should be a has_* filter for each component type and those filters should be available on the Device and DeviceType models in both the UI list views and the API.

Use Case

With the removal of the is_* fields from the DeviceType model in 2.5-beta1, we have lost some filtering functionality on the Device and DeviceType models related to components like interfaces, power ports, etc. Users wish to filter for devices and device types based on the boolean presence of different combinations of components.

Database Changes

None

External Dependencies

None

Please describe the environment in which you are running NetBox.

Include any specific changes to work flows, data models, or the user interface. --> ### Proposed Functionality Create new filters in the UI and API for device component types. These new filters should take the general form `has_interfaces`, `has_console_ports`, `has_power_ports`, etc. These will replace the now deprecated and removed `is_*` filters in 2.5-beta1. There should be a `has_*` filter for each component type and those filters should be available on the Device and DeviceType models in both the UI list views and the API. <!-- Convey an example use case for your proposed feature. Write from the perspective of a NetBox user who would benefit from the proposed functionality and describe how. ---> ### Use Case With the removal of the `is_*` fields from the DeviceType model in 2.5-beta1, we have lost some filtering functionality on the Device and DeviceType models related to components like interfaces, power ports, etc. Users wish to filter for devices and device types based on the boolean presence of different combinations of components. <!-- Note any changes to the database schema necessary to support the new feature. For example, does the proposal require adding a new model or field? (Not all new features require database changes.) ---> ### Database Changes None <!-- List any new dependencies on external libraries or services that this new feature would introduce. For example, does the proposal require the installation of a new Python package? (Not all new features introduce new dependencies.) --> ### External Dependencies None

Had I looked, I have known this was mostly already implemented in af95ba48aa. I have cleaned this up a little bit to make them NullBooleanField's to make filtering on False possible from the UI. Also exposed the fields to the Device form.
