I'm introducing django. I've created a model with two fields: Clientes and Equipos.
I wanna print but with my own format, so I would like to have a list or better a dict for it.
But I don't know what "example = models.object.values()" do. I don't know if example is a list, dictionary...
I've tried with models.object.get() but it doesn't work.
thanks.
Acutally, example is an instance of django.db.models.query.ValuesQuerySet, not just a simple list, it's a queryset
Because of example is a query set, you can use query set method, do whatever you want.The django queryset document is helpful.
you can traverse example variable like this:
for item in example:
do_what_you_want(item)
As you declare in you model, your example may like this:
example = [
{'Clients':'clients data','Equipos':'equipos data'},
{'Clients':'clients data','Equipos':'equipos data'}
]
I don't recommend you to convert your example to list type, if you do this, you can not use the powerfull django query set method.Django queryset method is more powerful than a python native list.
example = models.object.values()
example will be a kind of iterator of dicts where keys are the field names of a model. To make it a list of dicts just do:
example = list(models.object.values())
So example will look something like this:
[
{'id': 1, 'Clientes': 'some clientes', 'Equipos': 'some equipos'},
{'id': 2, 'Clientes': 'anoter clientes', 'Equipos': 'another equipos'}
]
{..., 'AnotherField': 'some'}. And I forgot to mention that the id field will be in the dict too.u char before the string means that the string is in unicode: docs.python.org/2/howto/…
