Question

I have a query like this:

file_s = Share.objects.filter(shared_user_id=log_id)

Now, I want to get the files_id attribute from file_s in Django view. How can I do that?

Answer 1

Use values() to get particular attribute which will return you list of dicts, like

file_s = Share.objects.filter(shared_user_id=log_id).values('files_id')

EDIT: If you want only one attribute then you can use flat=True to suggest to return just list of values. However, make sure in what order the list will be.

file_s = Share.objects.filter(shared_user_id=log_id).values_list('files_id', flat=True).order_by('id')
