How to dynamically compose an OR query filter in D

Question

From an example you can see a multiple OR query filter:

Article.objects.filter(Q(pk=1) | Q(pk=2) | Q(pk=3))

For example, this results in:

[<Article: Hello>, <Article: Goodbye>, <Article: Hello and goodbye>]

However, I want to create this query filter from a list. How to do that?

e.g. [1, 2, 3] -> Article.objects.filter(Q(pk=1) | Q(pk=2) | Q(pk=3))

Answer 1

easy..
from django.db.models import Q import you model args = (Q(visibility=1)|(Q(visibility=0)&Q(user=self.user))) #Tuple parameters={} #dic order = 'create_at' limit = 10

Models.objects.filter(*args,**parameters).order_by(order)[:limit]

Answer 2

A shorter way of writing Dave Webb's answer using python's reduce function:

# For Python 3 only
from functools import reduce

values = [1,2,3]

# Turn list of values into one big Q objects  
query = reduce(lambda q,value: q|Q(pk=value), values, Q())  

# Query the model  
Article.objects.filter(query)  

Answer 3

Another option I wasn't aware of until recently - QuerySet also overrides the &, |, ~, etc, operators. The other answers that OR Q objects are a better solution to this question, but for the sake of interest/argument, you can do:

id_list = [1, 2, 3]
q = Article.objects.filter(pk=id_list[0])
for i in id_list[1:]:
    q |= Article.objects.filter(pk=i)

str(q.query) will return one query with all the filters in the WHERE clause.

Answer 4

Maybe it's better to use sql IN statement.

Article.objects.filter(id__in=[1, 2, 3])

See queryset api reference.

If you really need to make queries with dynamic logic, you can do something like this (ugly + not tested):

query = Q(field=1)
for cond in (2, 3):
    query = query | Q(field=cond)
Article.objects.filter(query)

Answer 5

Using solution with reduce and or_ operator here how can you filter by multiply fields.

from functools import reduce
from operator import or_
from django.db.models import Q

filters = {'field1': [1, 2], 'field2': ['value', 'other_value']}

qs = Article.objects.filter(
   reduce(or_, (Q(**{f'{k}__in': v}) for k, v in filters.items()))
)

p.s. f is a new format strings literal aded in python3.6

Answer 6

In case we want to programmatically set what db field we want to query:

import operator
questions = [('question__contains', 'test'), ('question__gt', 23 )]
q_list = [Q(x) for x in questions]
Poll.objects.filter(reduce(operator.or_, q_list))
