Is it possible to reference a property using Django's QuerySet.values_list?
django, django-queryset, properties
Solution
full name is not a field in the django model, it is not possible. you can use list comprehensions
[person.fullname for person in Person.objects.all() ]
Problem
I have a custom property on my Django model that returns the full name of a Person: ``` class Person(models.Model): first_name = models.CharField(max_length=30) last_name = models.CharField(max_length=30) def _get_full_name(self): return "%s %s" % (self.first_name, self.last_name) full_name = property(_get_full_name) ``` When I create a query, I'd like to reference that property. For example: ``` people = Person.objects.all().values_list('full_name') ``` Unfortunately, Django yields the following FieldError: FieldError: Cannot resolve keyword 'full_name' into field Long story short, is it possible to access a custom property via the values_list() method? If not, does anyone have any suggestions on how to best remedy this problem?
