I have this models
class Book(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=255, blank=False, null=False)
class Like(models.Model):
user = models.ForeignKey(User, related_name="like_user", blank=False, null=False)
book = models.ForeignKey(Book, related_name="like_book", blank=False, null=False)
class Meta:
unique_together = ["user", "book"]
I want get all books and check if current user liked each book in single request
Book.objects.select_related('like_book').all()
won't work because of many results
Book.objects.prefetch_related('like_book').all()
will cache like_set
but it will contain all likes for this Book. Not only one for this user.
In the end i want to have additional field is_liked
books = Book.objects.MAGIC_FETCH('like_book', user=self.request.user).all()
books[0].is_liked
* Updated to address comments *
So roughly speaking, I think this is what you would use:
Book.objects.annotate(is_liked=Case(When(like__user=self.request.user, then=True), default=False))
