I have two models interrelated items
and broken
:
class Items(models.Model):
id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True)
item_name = models.CharField(max_length=50, blank=False)
item_price = models.IntegerField(blank=True)
item_quantity_received = models.IntegerField(blank=False)
item_quantity_available = models.IntegerField(blank=True)
item_purchased_date = models.DateField(auto_now_add=True, blank=False)
item_units = models.CharField(max_length=50, blank=False)
def __str__(self):
return self.item_name
class Broken(models.Model):
item = models.ForeignKey(Items, default=1, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
item_quantity_broken = models.IntegerField(blank=True)
item_broken_date = models.DateField(auto_now_add=True, blank=False)
item_is_broken = models.BooleanField(default=True)
date_repaired = models.DateField(auto_now=True, blank=True)
def __str__(self):
return self.item.item_name
I wrote this view function to retrieve data to a table into a template:
def broken_items(request):
br = Broken.objects.select_related('item').all()
print(br.values_list())
context = {
'title': 'broken',
'items': br,
}
return render(request, 'store/broken.html', context)
this is the executing query:
SELECT "store_broken"."id",
"store_broken"."item_id",
"store_broken"."item_quantity_broken",
"store_broken"."item_broken_date",
"store_broken"."item_is_broken",
"store_broken"."date_repaired",
"store_items"."id",
"store_items"."item_name",
"store_items"."item_price",
"store_items"."item_quantity_received",
"store_items"."item_quantity_available",
"store_items"."item_purchased_date",
"store_items"."item_units"
FROM "store_broken"
INNER JOIN "store_items"
ON ("store_broken"."item_id" = "store_items"."id")
looks like it gives me all the fields I want. In debugger it shows data from both tables,
so I wrote for
loop in template,
{% for item in items %}
<tr>
<td>{{item.id}}</td>
<td>{{item.item_id}}</td>
<td>{{item.item_quantity_broken}}</td>
<td>{{item.item_broken_date}}</td>
<td>{{item.item_is_broken}}</td>
<td>{{item.date_repaired}}</td>
<td>{{item.item_name }}</td>
<td>{{item.item_item_quantity_received}}</td>
<td>{{item.item_quantity_available}}</td>
<td>{{item.item_purchased_date}}</td>
<td>{{item.items_item_units}}</td>
</tr>
{% endfor %}
The thing is this loop only gives me data from broken table only. I can't see data from Items table.
can someone help me to find the reason why other details are not showing?

Your items
query is of Broken
objects. So in order to access the Items
values you need to change your table
. For better understanding change your view like this:
brokens = Broken.objects.select_related('item').all()
context = {
'title': 'broken',
'brokens ': brokens,
}
and then your table
:
{% for broken in brokens %}
<tr>
<td>{{broken.id}}</td>
<td>{{broken.item.pk}}</td> # This is the item id
<td>{{broken.item_quantity_broken}}</td>
<td>{{broken.item_broken_date}}</td>
<td>{{broken.item_is_broken}}</td>
<td>{{broken.date_repaired}}</td>
<td>{{broken.item.item_name}}</td>
<td>{{broken.item.item_quantity_received }}</td>
<td>{{broken.item.item_quantity_available}}</td>
<td>{{broken.item.item_purchased_date}}</td>
<td>{{broken.item.items_item_units}}</td>
</tr>
{% endfor %}

you loop over a List of Broken objects to access the related item objects
item.item.item_name
