I have "post" objects and a "post like" object with how many likes a post has received by which user:
class Post(models.Model):
text = models.CharField(max_length=500, default ='')
user = models.ForeignKey(User)
class PostLike(models.Model):
user = models.ForeignKey(User)
post = models.ForeignKey(Post)
I can select how many likes a post has received like this:
Post.objects.all().annotate(likes=Count('postlike'))
This roughly translates to:
SELECT p.*,
Count(l.id) AS likes
FROM post p, postlike l
WHERE p.id = l.post_id
GROUP BY (p.id)
It works. Now, how I can filter the Count aggregation by the current user? I'd like to retrieve not all the likes of the post, but all the likes by the logged user. The resulting SQL should be like:
SELECT p.*,
(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM postlike WHERE postlike.user_id = 1 AND postlike.post_id = p.id) AS likes
FROM post p, postlike l
WHERE p.id = l.post_id
GROUP BY (p.id)
Do you know that Count has a filter argument?
Post.objects.annotate(
likes=Count('postlike', filter=Q(postlike__user=logged_in_user))
)
