I have a django model that has a date field and a separate time field. I am trying to use a filter to find a value on the latest record by date/time that is less than the current record's date time.
How do I use annotate/aggregate to combine the date and time fields into one and then do a filter on it?
models.py
class Note(models.model):
note_date = models.DateField(null=True)
note_time = models.TimeField(null=True)
note_value = models.PositiveIntegerField(null=True)
def get_last(n):
"""
n: Note
return: Return the note_value of the most recent Note prior to given Note.
"""
latest = Note.objects.filter(
note_date__lte=n.note_date
).order_by(
'-note_date', '-note_time'
).first()
return latest.note_value if latest else return 0
This will return any notes from a previous date, but if I have a two notes on the same date, one at 3pm and one at 1pm, and I send the 3pm note to the function, I want to get the value of the 1pm note. Is there a way to annotate the two fields into one for comparison, or do I have to perform a raw SQL query? Is there a way to convert the date and time component into one, similar to how you could use Concat
for strings?
Note.objects.annotate(
my_dt=Concat('note_date', 'note_time')
).filter(
my_dt__lt=Concat(models.F('note_date'), models.F('note_time')
).first()
Found an answer using models.Q
here: filter combined date and time in django
Note.objects.filter(
models.Q(note_date__lt=n.note_date) | models.Q(
note_date=n.note_date,
note_time__lt=n.note_time
)
).first()
I guess I just wasn't searching by the right criteria.
