Django custom foreign key representation
If i have two models
class Parent(models.Model):
attribute_1 = ....
attribute_2 = ....
class Child(models.Model):
parent = models.ForeignKey(Parent)
Django by default will do lazy fetching to parent as it will hit the database when i try to access attribute_1 or attribute_2, so how can I make it fetch them by default for this specific use case
Use select_related when fetching your child object(s) to also fetch the data for the foreign key in a single query
child = Child.objects.select_related('parent').get(id=1)
print(child.parent.attribute_1) # No additional query
print(child.parent.attribute_2) # No additional query
