Question

Ive been trying to work out the best way to implement this query for awhile now but haven’t had much look

I have a very basic user following table..

class followTable(models.Model):
   user = models.ForeignKey(User)
   datetime = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
   taget_user = models.ForeignKey(User)

I want to be able to get all the users(target_user) that the current user is following then return all posts from another table that belong to the target_user, what would be the best way?

Ive tried

userlist = followTable.objects.filter(user=request.user)

then doing a foreach on the userlist and querying each user individually but that seems a bit messy, has any one got any suggestions?

Answer 1

Post.objects.filter(
    author__in=followTable.objects.filter(user=MY_USER).values_list('target_user', flat=True))
