Question

This my model
Driver Model
class Driver(models.Model):
named = models.CharField(max_length=150)
ident = models.CharField(max_length=100, null=True, blank=True)
def __unicode__(self):
return self.named
manufacture model
class Carlcid(models.Model):
namec = models.CharField(max_length=100)
lc_id = models.CharField(max_length=100, null=True, blank=True)
def __unicode__(self):
return unicode(self.namec)
Car model
class Car(models.Model):
f_idcar = models.ForeignKey(Carlcid, related_name='carlcd')
id_driver = models.ForeignKey(Driver)
def __unicode__(self):
return unicode(self.f_idcar)
This My views
def get_name_driver(request):
name = request.GET.get('name')
query = Car.objects.filter(f_idcar__namec=name)
results=[]
for q in query:
m_json={}
m_json['nama']= q.named
results.append(m_json)
return HttpResponse(results,"application/json")
i get {'nama': <Driver: Michael>}
but i wont get result like this {'nama': "Michael"}, How to get result like that, thanks for help.

Answer 1

You must get the driver name with the following line :
m_json['nama']= q.id_driver.named
Your new view :
def get_name_driver(request):
name = request.GET.get('name')
query = Car.objects.filter(f_idcar__namec=name)
results=[]
for q in query:
m_json={}
m_json['nama']= q.id_driver.named
results.append(m_json)
return HttpResponse(results,"application/json")
In addition to my answer, I want give you an advice :
You should named your foreign key like the model. Yes, in database it will be store the driver id, but when you use Django ORM, you don't get the id of driver but a Driver object.
So I advise you to rename id_driver by driver so you will use
m_json['nama']= q.driver.named
but it's not required, just advise ;)
