tastypie using itertools chain


For people from the future. I have scrapped tastypie and had success using Django-Rest-Framework and itertools as was suggested in the approved answer to this question.

I have a 2 models I want to link the results on as they're associated by a FK.

I've made the class in my API.py as follows -

class JobmstResource(ModelResource):
    jobdtl_id = fields.ForeignKey(JobdtlResource, 'jobdtl_id')
    class Meta:
        jobdtlquery = Jobdtl.objects.using('Admiral').all()
        jobmstquery = Jobmst.objects.using('Admiral').all()
        queryset = chain(jobdtlquery, jobmstquery)
        resource_name = 'Jobmst'

I then hit my api from the URL calling an ID (common ID in both queries).

http://localhost:8080/api/jobmst/3296/?format=xml

When I run it it fails complaining about -

'itertools.chain' object has no attribute 'model'

It seems django has no clean and clear way to do inner joins when you want results from more than 1 model so curious where the break is? Should I be attacking this differently.

If I view the query from a simple HTML it is displaying the results but does separate the values into the 2 models fields and all.

I want the values to display as if from 1 model.

Here is the models.py for the 2 models in question -

    jobdtl_id = models.IntegerField(primary_key=True)

Solution

  • Have you tried converting itertools.chain to a list:

    queryset = list(chain(jobdtlquery, jobmstquery))
    

    Update You can concatenate the queries on the same model like this:

    queryset = query1 | query2
    

    Update As the error message implies, your queryset has to have only one model. You cannot achieve your goal with two different models.

    This question seems like a dublicate.
