django query annotate values get list from reverse foreign key-CodePudding

I have a simple model like

class Author(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=100)

    def __str__(self):
        return self.name



class Blog(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    author = models.ForeignKey(Author, on_delete=models.CASCADE)

Here I want to queryall authors with the title of all the blogs they have written like

Author One : [Blog One, Blog Two, Blog Three]

I want this from query and not loop

Here my approach is to use subquery like

blogs =Blog.objects.filter(author=OuterRef('pk')).values("title")
authors = Author.objects.annotate(blogs=Subquery(blogs), output_field=CharField())

But here I am getting error like sub-select returns 2 columns - expected 1

How can I get all the authors with all the blogs they have written ? I do not want to use loop. I want this through query

You can query with:

authors = Author.objects.prefetch_related('blog_set')

Then in the template, you can render with:

<ul>
  {% for author in authors %}
    <li>{{ author }}</li>
    <ul>
      {% for blog in author.blog_set.all %}
        <li>{{ blog }}</li>
      {% endfor %}
    </ul>
  {% endfor %}
</ul>

If you are using a postgres as a database, then you can use an ArrayAgg function:

from django.contrib.postgres.aggregates import ArrayAgg

authors = Author.objects.annotate(blogs=ArrayAgg('blog_set__title'))
