I am using Django Framework I want to check if the mobile-no is in the database but I have error when I run the code it gives me only False even when the number is exist in database it gives me False can someone help me this is my code

views.py

@csrf_exempt
def forget_password(request):
    mobile_no = request.POST.get('mobile_no')
    # verify = models.User.objects.all()
    # verify = models.User.objects.filter(mobile_no=mobile_no).first()
    verify = models.User.objects.filter(mobile_no=mobile_no).exists()
    if verify:
        return JsonResponse({'bool':True})
    else:
        return JsonResponse({'bool':False,'msg' : 'mobile_no does not exist!!'})

CodePudding user response：

try This code I think you do a mistake in importing User model

from django.contrib.auth.models import User
@csrf_exempt
def forget_password(request):
    mobile_no = request.POST.get('mobile_no')
    verify = User.objects.filter(mobile_no=mobile_no)
    if verify.exists():
        return JsonResponse({'bool':True})
    else:
        return JsonResponse({'bool':False,'msg' : 'mobile_no does not exist!!'})

CodePudding user response：

As mobile no. for each user is unique, use following view:


from django.views.decorators.http import require_POST

@require_POST
@csrf_exempt
def forget_password(request):
    mobile_no = request.POST.get('mobile_no')
    try:    
        models.User.objects.get(mobile_no=mobile_no)
        return JsonResponse({'bool':True})
    except models.User.DoesNotExist:
        return JsonResponse({'bool':False,'msg' : 'mobile_no does not exist!!'})
