How to get specific objects based on ManyToMany field match

I'm doing a cookbook app, which help users find meal thay can do with their ingridients. I'm using Django RestFramework, and i need to return list of avaliable meals that user can do, but don't know how to do search by ingridients
My models.py:
#models.py
class Meal(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=250)
description = models.TextField(blank=True, null=True)
recipe = models.TextField()
is_published = models.BooleanField(default=False)
category = ForeignKey('Category', on_delete=models.CASCADE, null=True)
user = ForeignKey(User, verbose_name='User', on_delete= models.CASCADE)
difficulty = ForeignKey('Difficulty', on_delete=models.PROTECT, null=True)
ingridients = models.ManyToManyField('Ingridient')
class Ingridient(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=100, db_index=True)
ico = models.ImageField(upload_to="photos/%Y/%m/%d/", blank=True, null=True)
category = ForeignKey('CategoryIngridients', on_delete=models.CASCADE, null=True)
def __str__(self):
return self.name
class CookBookUser(models.Model):
user = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
ingridients = models.ManyToManyField('Ingridient')
serializer.py
class MealSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
class Meta:
model = Meal
fields = "__all__"
views.py
class CraftWithUsersIngridientsListAPIView(generics.ListAPIView):
serializer_class = MealSerializer
def get_queryset(self):
return Meal.objects.filter(ingridients=CookBookUser.objects.filter(user_id = self.request.user.id).ingridients)
CraftWithUsersIngridientsListAPIView isn't working and I get AttributeError 'QuerySet' object has no attribute 'ingridients', can someone help fix this?
I tried building different serializer but it doesn't help

class CraftWithUsersIngridientsListAPIView(generics.ListAPIView):
serializer_class = MealSerializer
def get_queryset(self):
user_ingredients = CookBookUser.objects.get(user=self.request.user).ingredients.all()
return Meal.objects.filter(ingredients__in=user_ingredients)
This way, you first get the CookBookUser instance for the current user, then get all of their ingredients, and finally, filter the Meal objects that contain those ingredients. The __in query lookup is used to check if the meal ingredients are in the user's ingredients.

Django API ManyToMany on existing databse not working

at the moment I try to get recipes from my API. I have a Database with two tables one is with recipes and their ids but without the ingredients, the other table contains the ingredients and also the recipe id. Now I cant find a way that the API "combines" those. Maybe its because I added in my ingredient model to the recipe id the related name, but I had to do this because otherwise, this error occurred:
ERRORS:
recipes.Ingredients.recipeid: (fields.E303) Reverse query name for 'Ingredients.recipeid' clashes with field name 'Recipe.ingredients'.
HINT: Rename field 'Recipe.ingredients', or add/change a related_name argument to the definition for field 'Ingredients.recipeid'.
Models
from django.db import models
class Ingredients(models.Model):
ingredientid = models.AutoField(db_column='IngredientID', primary_key=True, blank=True)
recipeid = models.ForeignKey('Recipe', models.DO_NOTHING, db_column='recipeid', blank=True, null=True, related_name='+')
amount = models.CharField(blank=True, null=True, max_length=100)
unit = models.CharField(blank=True, null=True, max_length=100)
unit2 = models.CharField(blank=True, null=True, max_length=100)
ingredient = models.CharField(db_column='Ingredient', blank=True, null=True, max_length=255)
class Meta:
managed = False
db_table = 'Ingredients'
class Recipe(models.Model):
recipeid = models.AutoField(db_column='RecipeID', primary_key=True, blank=True) # Field name made lowercase.
title = models.CharField(db_column='Title', blank=True, null=True, max_length=255) # Field name made lowercase.
preperation = models.TextField(db_column='Preperation', blank=True, null=True) # Field name made lowercase.
images = models.CharField(db_column='Images', blank=True, null=True, max_length=255) # Field name made lowercase.
#ingredients = models.ManyToManyField(Ingredients)
ingredients = models.ManyToManyField(Ingredients, related_name='recipes')
class Meta:
managed = True
db_table = 'Recipes'
When there is no issue it has to be in the serializer or in the view.
Serializer
class IngredientsSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
# ingredients = serializers.CharField(source='ingredients__ingredients')
class Meta:
model = Ingredients
fields = ['ingredient','recipeid']
class FullRecipeSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
ingredients = IngredientsSerializer(many=True)
class Meta:
model = Recipe
fields = ['title','ingredients']
View
class FullRecipesView(generics.ListCreateAPIView):
serializer_class = FullRecipeSerializer
permission_classes = [
permissions.AllowAny
]
queryset = Recipe.objects.all()
This is at the moment my output
But I want e.g. the recipe with id 0 and all the ingredients which have also recipe id 0.
I really hope that you can help me. Thank you so much!

Rename ingredients to some other name in FullRecipeSerializer. It conflicts with ingredients in Recipe model. This should solve your issue. For example
class FullRecipeSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
ingredients_recipe = IngredientsSerializer(many=True, source= 'ingredientid')
class Meta:
model = Recipe
fields = ['title','ingredients_recipe']

How to display multiple objects from fields in Django Admin

I am a bit stumped as to how I can add multiple access_token and items_ids in Django Admin. The models and apps involved are as follows. This is my first post so please forgive if it isn't in proper format.
Trans/models.py
class Exchange(models.Model):
created = models.DateTimeField()
owner = models.ForeignKey(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL, related_name='token', on_delete=models.CASCADE)
access_token = models.CharField(max_length=300, blank=True, default='')
item_id = models.CharField(max_length=300, blank=True, default='')
request_id = models.CharField(max_length=300, blank=True, default='')
class Meta:
ordering = ('item_id',)
I have setup a userprofile section for the admin:
Users/models.py
class UserProfile(models.Model):
user = models.OneToOneField(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL, primary_key=True, verbose_name='user', related_name='profile', on_delete=models.CASCADE)
avatar_url = models.CharField(max_length=256, blank=True, null=True)
dob = models.DateField(verbose_name="dob", blank=True, null=True)
public_token = models.CharField(max_length=100, blank=True, null=True, verbose_name='public_token')
access_token = models.CharField(max_length=100, blank=True, null=True, verbose_name='access_token')
item_id = models.CharField(max_length=100, blank=True, null=True, verbose_name='item_ID')
just_signed_up = models.BooleanField(default=True)
def __str__(self):
return force_text(self.user)
class Meta():
db_table = 'user_profile'
users/forms.py
class UserProfileForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = UserProfile
fields = ('user', 'public_token', 'access_token', 'item_id',)
users/admin.py
class UserProfileAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
search_fields = ('user', 'dob', 'public_token', 'access_token', 'item_id',)
ordering = ('user',)
list_select_related = ('user',)
admin.site.register(UserProfile, UserProfileAdmin)
class UserProfileAdminInline(admin.TabularInline):
model = UserProfile
I'm really just stumped as I tried making many to many field but couldnt seem to link correctly and or the process broke when testing in a sandbox environment. Any help would be greatly appreciated! In my case I need to record multiple access_tokens and item_ids for each user.

It's a little bit confusing what you are asking...particularly the way that your data model is setup....but I'm going to make a couple of assumptions in my answer (it would be helpful to better understand what you are trying to do at a high level).
I think what you are wanting to do is to be able to configure multiple Exchange objects per user profile...in which case I would set things up this way:
1. The related_name field on the FK to the user profile in the exchange model will be how you access multiple exchanges...so in this case you probably want a pluralized name.
2. To be able to edit multiple in the Django Admin you will need to setup an InlineAdmin object.
3. The CharFields that are actually ON the UserProfile will only ever be single fields...if you want multiple then you need to move them to another related object (like the Exchange model).
4. I don't think what you want here is a ManyToMany as that would imply user's would be sharing these tokens and item ids (or Exchanges?)...but maybe that is what you want...in which case you should change the ForeignKey to UserProfile from the Exchange model to a ManyToManyField. The rest of this post assumes you don't want that.
trans/models.py
from django.db import models
from django.conf import settings
class Exchange(models.Model):
class Meta:
ordering = ('item_id', )
created = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
owner = models.ForeignKey(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL, related_name='exchanges', on_delete=models.CASCADE)
access_token = models.CharField(max_length=300, blank=True)
item_id = models.CharField(max_length=300, blank=True)
request_id = models.CharField(max_length=300, blank=True)
users/models.py
from django.db import models
from django.conf import settings
class UserProfile(models.Model):
class Meta:
db_table = 'user_profile'
user = models.OneToOneField(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL, primary_key=True, verbose_name='user', related_name='profile', on_delete=models.CASCADE)
avatar_url = models.CharField(max_length=256, blank=True)
dob = models.DateField(verbose_name="dob", blank=True, null=True)
public_token = models.CharField(max_length=100, blank=True, null=True)
access_token = models.CharField(max_length=100, blank=True, null=True)
item_id = models.CharField(max_length=100, blank=True, null=True)
just_signed_up = models.BooleanField(default=True)
def __str__(self):
return force_text(self.user)
users/admin.py
from django.contrib import admin
from trans.models import Exchange
from users.models import UserProfile
class ExchangeAdminInline(admin.TabularInline):
model = Exchange
class UserProfileAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
inlines = (ExchangeAdminInline, )
search_fields = ('user', 'dob', 'public_token', 'access_token', 'item_id', )
ordering = ('user', )
list_select_related = ('user', )
admin.site.register(UserProfile, UserProfileAdmin)
There is a lot that you can do to configure the inlines to behave how you want...but that's the basics.

Django-autocomplete-light returns object names instead of corresponding field values

My problem whith django-autocomplete-light (dal 3) is that in the admin, instead of showing the choices corresponding tom my designated field (i.e. birth_nation see forms.py section), I always get a list of the str values of my queryset objects (see #models.py section) which is actually the last_name field.
# models.py
class MyModel(models.Model):
id_name = models.CharField(primary_key=True, max_length=255)
first_name = models.CharField(max_length=255, blank=True, null=True)
middle_name = models.CharField(max_length=255, blank=True, null=True)
last_name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
birth_city = models.CharField(max_length=255, blank=True, null=True)
birth_nation = models.CharField(max_length=255, blank=True, null=True)
def __str__(self):
return self.last_name
class Meta:
managed = False
db_table = 'mytable'
# forms.py
class MyModelForm(forms.ModelForm):
birth_nation = forms.ModelChoiceField(
queryset=MyModel.objects.all(),
widget=autocomplete.ModelSelect2(url='country-autocomplete',
attrs={'data-minimum-input-length': 2}
)
)
class Meta:
model = MyModel
fields = ('__all__')
# views.py
class MyModelAutocomplete(autocomplete.Select2QuerySetView):
def get_queryset(self):
if not self.request.user.is_authenticated():
return MyModel.objects.none()
qs = MyModel.objects.all()
if self.q:
qs = qs.filter(birth_nation__istartswith=self.q)
return qs
Obviously, I want to get my choices that correspond to the birth_nation, what is wrong in my code?

try this:
def __str__(self):
return self.birth_nation

Autocomplete return value is a query object. If you want to see specific field in the object, write that field in your model class or change your autocomplete class return value.

Trouble accessing ForeignKey elements

I currently have two models set up in my Django app that have a ForeignKey relationship.
class Post(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=100)
body = RichTextField(config_name='awesome_ckeditor')
pub_date = models.DateTimeField('date', null=True)
description = models.CharField(max_length=100, blank=True, null=True)
photo = models.ImageField(upload_to='media/', blank=True, null=True)
def __unicode__(self):
return self.title
class Comment(models.Model):
post = models.ForeignKey(Post, related_name="comments", blank=True, null=True)
name = models.CharField(max_length=100, null=True)
comment = models.TextField(blank=True)
pub_date = models.DateField("date", blank=True, null=True)
def __unicode__(self):
return unicode(self.name)
What I am not getting is making queries between the two. I have tried making queries through the shell but to no success. If I set Post(title="Cat") and then make c = Comment(name="Dog"), I can query each models respective title or name through something like p = Post.object.get(pk=1) and p.title will output Cat. But if I do p.comment or p.comment_id, there is an error. Likewise with any Comment objects. However when I do print c.post, I get None. What am I missing in order to make p.<field_here>" =Dog`?

Since you have related name "comments", access to set foreign model from Post should be called this way:
p.comments
But since you can have many comments for a same Post, this won't return a unique value, but a related manager that you need to query. So you could get:
p.comments.filter(name="Dog")
