Dynamic filter in Django

Question

In my app, I have a form. Depending of the form, one or many filters could be configured by the user.

In my view, I have for exemple :

query = Test.o         


        

Answer 1

This code solved my problem:

if request.method == 'GET':
        filters = {}
        for key, value in request.GET.items():
            if value != '':
                filters[key] = value
        filter_list=Pet.objects.filter(**filters)

Answer 2

You could do something along the lines of:

filters = {}

for key, value in request.post.items():
    if key in ['filter1', 'filter2', 'filter3']:
        filters[key] = value

Test.objects.filter(**filters)

Where the list is a list of keys that you are intending to filter by

Edit

As Thomas Junk suggested you can make it a lot cleaner with a comprehension:

filters = {
    key: value
    for key, value in request.post.items()
    if key in ['filter1', 'filter2', 'filter3']
}

Test.objects.filter(**filters)
