Adding Extra Parameters to a Objects.filter (via Dict)?
django, filter
Solution
I'm not sure what you want to do? Do you want to filter on additional fields after the initial `dvd.objects.filter(**dict1)`?? If so, you can simply do:
qs = dvd.objects.filter(**dict1)
qs.filter(title__icontains='the')
Remember, `filter` returns a queryset so you can perform any operations you want, just like you would on `dvd.objects`.
If, what you meant was you wanted to add `icontains` to something in `dict`, then you could simply assign the keys in `dict1` as `price__icontains` instead of `price`.
Problem
Say we have a `dvd` table where we want to search for `price=14.99` and `rating=18`. We could do: ``` #Making some dictionary dict1 = {} #Adding some stuff dict1['price']=14.99 dict1['rating']18 #Use dict as filter dvd.objects.filter(**dict1) ``` Is there a way to add on extra parameters like: ``` dvd.objects.filter(title__icontains='the') ``` I'd just like to add a bit more flexibility for the user because at present they can choose what fields they'd like to search in and specify exactly what it is they want. However I'd like to search partial matches, like what `__icontains` does. I'd also like `__gt`, `__lt`. Is this possible?
