why Django filter giving me this error 'QuerySet' object has no attribute 'user

When I am using this queryset I am not getting any error and it's returning the user id

UserProfile.objects.get(forget_password_token=forget_password_token)
print(user.user_id)

>>>19

But when I am using this queryset UserProfile.objects.filter(forget_password_token=forget_password_token) why I am getting this error QuerySet' object has no attribute 'user_id'

what is difference between get and filter in Django ? why not working filter method here?

When user putting wrong code in input fields then it's rising this error UserProfile matching query does not exist.

CodePudding user response：

With .get() the return the instance of the object found so you can check directly user_id. With .filter() the rturn is a query set object contain all instances of ogject found (you can compare it to a list of results with some différences as it's an object type Queryset) So if you Want to check user_id, you have first to iterate all élément of the queryset

test = UserProfile.objects.filter(forget_password_token=forget_password_token)
for result in test:
    print(test.user_id)

Another way can be to return the result in a list with .values_list()

test = UserProfile.objects.filter(forget_password_token=forget_password_token).values_list('user_id')
