Annotations
Annotation in Django ORM allows you to attach additional information to each object in a QuerySet. It's a powerful feature for augmenting the results of queries with calculated values, which can be aggregates computed over related objects or values derived from model fields.
Basic Annotation
Example 1:
Assume each Book has a pages
field.
This annotates each genre with the total number of pages of all books within that genre.
from django.db.models import Sum
genre_with_page_count = Genre.objects.annotate(total_pages=Sum('book__pages'))
Example 2:
Assume each Book has a rating
field.
from django.db.models import Avg
author_with_avg_rating = Author.objects.annotate(avg_rating=Avg('book__rating'))
Adds an average rating for the books written by each author.
Advanced Annotation Use Cases
Example 1:
Assume each Book has a publication_date
field.
from django.db.models import Count, F, Year
books_per_year = Author.objects.annotate(year=F('book__publication_date__year')).values('year').annotate(count=Count('book'))
Counts how many books each author published per year.
Example 2:
Finds the most recently published book for each genre.
from django.db.models import Max
latest_book_per_genre = Genre.objects.annotate(latest_book=Max('book__publication_date'))
Annotation with Filters
Example 1:
Counts the number of fantasy books written by each author.
author_genre_count = Author.objects.filter(book__genre__name='Fantasy').annotate(fantasy_books_count=Count('book'))
