How can you filter a queryset by default so that no matter where you use the model, the filter will be applied?
This can be achieved by creating a custom Manager and overriding its get_queryset
method.
For example, if we have a soft delete feature in our app implemented by adding a deleted
column, we can force only returing non-deleted objects by creating a custom model manager which filters for deleted=false
class BookManager(models.Manager):
def get_queryset(self):
return super().get_queryset().filter(deleted=False)
class Book(models.Model):
# ...
deleted = models.BooleanField(default=False)
objects = BookManager()
Now everytime you query Book objects in your app with Book.objects
, you will only receive books that haven't been deleted.
