Question

Is there a way to reference a model’s ManyToMany, Related, ForeignKey fields through a variable?

For example

Class Video (models.Model):
    owner = models.ForeignKey(User, related_name='videos')

var v = 'videos'

userObj = User.objects.get(username='bob')

userObj.v.filter(...)

I want to do this so I can pass those managers into a method and call them on some instance later.

Answer 1

Use getattr to get an attribute via a string.

v = 'videos'
getattr(userObj, v).filter(...)
