Reference

classRelatedManager : A “related manager” is a manager used in a one-to-many or many-to-many related context. This happens in two cases:

Reference

Using `remove()` with a many-to-many relationship, however, will delete the relationships using [`QuerySet.delete()`](querysets.md#django.db.models.query.QuerySet.delete) which means no model `save()` methods are called; listen to the [`m2m_changed`](../signals.md#django.db.models.signals.m2m_changed) signal if you wish to execute custom code when a relationship is deleted.

Reference Paginator

Paginator.object_list : Required. A list, tuple, QuerySet, or other sliceable object with a count() or __len__() method. For consistent pagination, QuerySets should be ordered, e.g. with an order_by() clause or with a default ordering on the model. Paginator.per_page : Required.

Reference Paginator Page class

Paginator.ELLIPSIS : A translatable string used as a substitute for elided page numbers in the page range returned by get_elided_page_range(). Default is '…'. Paginator.count[source] : The total number of objects, across all pages. Paginator.num_pages[source] : The total number of pages.

Reference Signals Model signals

WARNING: For performance reasons, you shouldn’t perform queries in receivers of > pre_init or post_init signals because they would be executed for > each instance returned during queryset iteration.

Reference TemplateResponse and SimpleTemplateResponse

It can also be used as an alternative to calling render(). For example, the following view returns a TemplateResponse with a template and a context containing a queryset:

Well, if you’re dealing with a model object, this is already done for you. When you are dealing with an object or queryset, Django is able to populate the context using the lowercased version of the model class’ name.

Handily, the ListView has a get_queryset() method we can override. By default, it returns the value of the queryset attribute, but we can use it to add more logic.

If a queryset is given, the model for that queryset will be used. Model form views provide a form_valid() implementation that saves the model automatically. You can override this if you have any special requirements; see below for examples.

Suppose somebody wants to access our book library over HTTP using the views as an API. The API client would connect every now and then and download book data for the books published since last visit.

We’ll consider DetailView, which renders a “detail” view of an object, and ListView, which will render a list of objects, typically from a queryset, and optionally paginate them.

As a result, it’s a good idea to be careful in your choice of default manager in order to avoid a situation where overriding get_queryset() results in an inability to retrieve objects you’d like to work with.
