I’m pretty new to Django. I have just learnt that could filter a query set this way:
Questions.objects.filter(question_text__contains=‘what’) This kind of scares me a little because the filter “contains” is actually part of the field name. And I guess there are other operators appended to a field with the same __operation pattern. Wouldn’t this make refactoring tricky? Even renaming the field name has to be done carefully. In my mind, this feels messy. Is there an alternative to doing this? Something like: Questions.objects.filter(question_text.contains=‘what’) Or using “contains” as a function? Basically, can I do the same thing without adding “magic strings” to field names? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
