Django get users with userprofiles

62 views Asked by At

how can I get users with their userprofiles?

I have my own comments app

Model:

APPS = (
    (1, 'Game'),
    (2, 'Article'),
    (3, 'CMS'),
    (4, 'User profile'),
)
comment_type = models.IntegerField(choices=APPS,
                                    default=1,
                                    verbose_name="Comment Type")
object_id = models.IntegerField(default=0)
user = models.ForeignKey(User, null = True, blank = False, related_name='user')

View:

context = {
    ...
    'comments': Comment.objects.filter(comment_type=1, object_id=game_id),
    ...
}

UserProfile:

class UserProfile(models.Model):
    user = models.OneToOneField(User)
    signature = models.TextField(blank=True)

And my view:

{% for comment in comments %}
....
{{ comment.user.profile.signature }}
{% endfor %}

I am django rookie. Thank you.

You can simply use .select_related() here, as Comment already has a foreign key to User, and User has a foreign key to Profile:

comments = Comment.objects.filter(
    comment_type=1, object_id=game.id).select_related('user__userprofile')

.prefetch_related() does a separate lookup for each query. .select_related() grabs everything in one statement.
