'How to use model functions in Views for multiple instances in Django?
I have a Blog Post Model and I have defined a function to calculate the no of likes.
The Model is as follows ->
class Post(models.Model):
user = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.PROTECT)
title = models.CharField(max_length=255)
description = models.CharField(max_length=1000,null=True)
Tags = models.CharField(max_length = 255,null=True,blank=True)
Created_date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
Updated_date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)
category = models.ForeignKey(Category, on_delete=models.PROTECT)
Likes = models.ManyToManyField(to=User, related_name='Post_likes')
def __str__(self):
return self.title
def likesCount(self):
return self.Likes.count()
Now I am querying the Post Model from the DB to get all the Posts as follows ->
posts = Post.objects.select_related().prefetch_related('images_set','comments_post').annotate(Count('comments_post')).all()
Here when I loop over the posts I can call the likesCount function and it gives me the correct result as well but I want to return the No of likes to the template. How can I do that?
