Django Annotate

 

 

Introduction to Django Annotate

There is always a need to get an aggregated value of an item. For example, when a group of records exists or when a query set has been defined, obtaining a summary of all these items becomes necessary. In the Django framework, annotate and aggregate are responsible for identifying a given value set summary. Among these, annotate identifies the summary from each item in the queryset. In the case of aggregation, the summary is calculated for the entire queryset. Therefore, when you want to consider the entire query set, you should use Django’s annotate.

Syntax:

Annotated_output = Model.Objects.annotate(variable=aggregate_function(columnname))

The syntax explains identifying the annotated value. First, the system declares the Model, which targets the system database for aggregation or annotation, and then declares the objects associated with the Model. After this, the annotate method sets the annotate process; The annotate method declares the involved variable. It mentions the expected aggregate function to be performed. Then, the aggregate function will perform on the column name mentioned within the average function. Finally, the annotated output variable will replace the entire aggregate output.

How Annotate Works?

  • The process in which annotation works is straightforward and lean; it expects the Model for which the annotation is performed and the aggregate function through which the annotation will be wrapped upon.
  • The annotate function encapsulates the aggregate method within it. You need to declare the column that will be considered for annotation within the aggregate function.
  • You must enclose the column value within a pair of single quotations. Additionally, the annotate function will assign the output to the annotated output variable, allowing flexible identification of the annotation output.

Example of Django Annotate

Given below is the example of Django Annotate:

a. Changes in the Models.py file

Code:

from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
# Model variables
# Create your models here.
class Object(models.Model):
    Django_Annotate_redirect__Example_name = models.CharField(max_length=200,null=True)
    Django_Annotate_redirect__Example_thegai = models.CharField(max_length=200,null=True)
    Django_Annotate_redirect__Example_State =  models.CharField(max_length=50,null=True)
    Django_Annotate_redirect__Example_District = models.CharField(max_length=50,null=True)
    Django_Annotate_redirect__Example_Address = models.TextField(null=True)
    Django_Annotate_redirect__Example_Phone = models.BigInteger_Example_Field(null=True)
    Django_Annotate_redirect__Example_profession = models.CharField(max_length=200,null=True)
    Django_Annotate_redirect__Example_salary = models.BigInteger_Example_Field(null=True)
    Django_Annotate_redirect__Example_Under_Graduation_Degree = models.CharField(max_length=200,null=True)
    Django_Annotate_redirect__Example_Under_Graduation_college = models.CharField(max_length=400,null=True)

    Django_Annotate_redirect__Example_profession = models.CharField(max_length=200,null=True)
    Django_Annotate_redirect__Example_salary = models.BigInteger_Example_Field(null=True)
    Django_Annotate_redirect__Example_Under_Graduation_Degree = models.CharField(max_length=200,null=True)
    Django_Annotate_redirect__Example_Under_Graduation_college = models.CharField(max_length=400,null=True)
    Django_Annotate_redirect__Example_Post_Graduation_Degree = models.CharField(max_length=200,null=True)

            Rasi = request.GET.get('Rasi', '')
            print(len(State),len(District),District, Rasi)
            if len(State) > 0:
