Usage¶
Use as a Model Manager¶
Django manager utils allows a user to perform various functions not natively supported by Django’s model managers. To use the manager in your Django models, do:
from manager_utils import ManagerUtilsManager
class MyModel(Model):
objects = ManagerUtilsManager()
If you want to extend an existing manager to use the manager utils, include mixin provided first (since it overrides the get_queryset function) as follows:
from django.db import models
from manager_utils import ManagerUtilsMixin
class MyManager(ManagerUtilsMixin, models.Manager):
pass
Calling Manager Utils as Standalone Functions¶
All of the main manager utils functions listed can also be called as standalone functions so that third-party managers can take advantage of them. For example:
from manager_utils import bulk_update
bulk_update(TestModel.objects, [model_obj1, model_obj2], ['int_field', 'float_field'])
