Filtering Django Queryset Based on Presence of String












0














I have a model which renders a json file in views.py:



 def bill_sum(request):
data = Summary.objects.values('title','summary','summary_text')
return render(request,'billsummary.html',context={'data':data})


Is it possible to filter the summary_text object query by looking up a specific string which I would pass in from urls.py?



Something like using



from django.db.models import Q Summary.objects.values('title;'summary',Q('summary_text'__contains=someword),...)

  • I was thinking URL query param as the list of "somewords" is limited.

Sure its possible. Try like this:



def some_view(request);
somewords = request.GET.get('somewords')
data = Summary.objects.filter(summary_text__icontains=somewords).values('title','summary','summary_text') # icontains has been used here instead of contains to ignore uppercase/lowercase issues
